Full Arnaud Clement Biography
He was born in Aix-en-Provence, and currently lives in Geneva, Switzerland. He turned professional in 1996, and his most significant achievement has been to reach the Australian Open men's singles final in 2001, where he was defeated by Andre Agassi, defeating the then-unseeded but current number one Roger Federer and former number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov on his way to the final. While playing he often wears a bandana and sunglasses.
Clément has been ranked as high as 10 in the world in singles and as high as 24 in doubles, where he has often partnered fellow Frenchmen Sebastien Grosjean and Michael Llodra. He has won four ATP singles titles (Lyon 2000, Metz 2003, Marseille 2006, Washington 2006), and five doubles titles. In September 2005 he defeated Great Britain's Andrew Murray in the US Open tournament.
In March 2006, Clement ended his two and a half year period of not winning an ATP singles title by capturing the Marseille Open, defeating world number 2 Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals and Mario Ancic in the finals. In August 2006, Clement won his first ATP title in the United States, defeating Murray in straight sets in the final of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic.
In July 2007, Arnaud Clément and Michaël Llodra won the men's double title at Wimbledon, beating World N. 1 and number one seeds defending champions Bob and Mike Bryan, thus winning his first Grand Slam doubles title (Llodra had won two previous titles with Fabrice Santoro, making it his third Grand Slam title). He and Llodra were ecstatic and celebrated by throwing their shirts, rackets and towels into the crowd.
Arnaud was selected to represent one of the world's best-known and most important fashion label, Lacoste. He was seen from May 2004 onwards in a pan-European print and TV campaign alongside the Danish pop singer Natacha Thomas. The advert was directed and shooted by Bruno Aveillan, who in the course of his career has already filmed top stars such as Monica Bellucci, Claudia Schiffer, Marcel Desailly, Zinedine Zidane or Gisele Bundchen. |
