Jean Le Sueur

Racket Sports

Jean Le Sueur, known in his English Wikipedia article as Jean Gustave Louis Lesueur, was a French tennis player, born on 24 June 1910 and died on 27 August 1969. A left-handed player from Dieppe, he was most active during the 1930s and won seven national titles. He made the fourth round of the French Championships in both 1931 and 1937, and his exit from the 1937 tournament was unusual because the referee forced him to forfeit after he chatted with friends in the stands instead of arriving on court in time for his match against Bunny Austin. In 1938 he featured in a Davis Cup tie against Germany in Berlin. He was the father-in-law of the French jazz musician Claude Bolling.
