I study tennis a lot so over the last few years I have seen Mathieu`s profile picture on the ATP website many many times. He looked like a fun guy with pleasant face, and although I never met him or saw him play live, he still left an impression on me which was all good.
The only positive note is that he seemed to die peacefully. God bless him and all that knew him.

From Rafa's site.


This morning I woke up to one of the worst news anyone can receive. I heard about the death of my friend Mathieu Montcourt and I am still in shock, I can't believe it.

I knew Mathieu since we were kids. We competed together at all the events at an international level for kids: Les Petit As, Copa Borotta, etc, and of course, we played again afterwards after we became professionals.

When someone like this disappears, when something like this happens, you realize where you are and you put into perspective your life, winning or losing a tennis match, not competing at an event and everything else. This is the loss of a guy who was only 24 and who was a sportsman. He won't be playing with us again.

I would like to send my deepest and most sincere condolences to his family, to his friends and to the French fans.

Mathieu, Rest in peace.

Rafa Nadal
