My Take
Guy Forget feels to me like a living emblem of French tennis at its height. Born in Casablanca, he attacked with serve-and-volley off that towering 190cm frame and was central to France's Davis Cup wins in 1991 and 1996, even earning L'Équipe's Champion of Champions that year. What I admire most is the second act: captaining the Davis Cup side and steering Roland-Garros, a rare figure who served the sport as player, coach and administrator alike. The Philippe Chatrier Award fits a man who gave his whole life to tennis. People who carry an entire sport on their shoulders always win my deep respect.
