Career

Junior tennis

Recouderc caused a stir for the first time in his junior career when he reached the final with a wildcard at the French Open in 2002 . After a first round win against Tomáš Berdych , he defeated number 1 seeded Swede Robin Söderling 6: 4, 6: 2. He benefited from a rain break of several hours when the score was 3: 2 for Söderling. In the quarterfinals he got the upper hand against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with 2: 6, 6: 0, 6: 3, then he threw Andreas Seppi out of the tournament with 7: 6 (5), 1: 6, 6: 4. Only in the final was Recouderc stopped by his compatriot Richard Gasquet , who clearly won 6-0, 6-1.

In Grand Slam tournaments he was in the main field four times.
