Interesting words left by Constant Lestienne in RG revealing the little interest the French Tennis Federation had in him: "The Federation never believed in my tennis, that's why they never helped me. They didn't care about me, they never have. They told me I would never be good at tennis." He also comments on one of the darkest episodes of his career: "They used me. I was nobody in tennis, just a guy in the Top 200. They used me to send a message to the world, to set an example. It was a cruel joke. Why was I suspended? For betting 2 euros on matches. It was very, very painful. It took me years to recover from that."
