Mathieu Canac
Like Carlos Alcaraz, Mathieu was born on May 5, but in 1987. After starting to write for football magazines, Mathieu Canac started his foray into tennis by launching the blog Prize Marteau (which has since become a Facebook page and a Twitter account). What started as a hobby has since led him to contribute to We Are Tennis, Eurosport.fr, and the Courts magazine.
