Elsa Jacquemot Parts Ways with Tsonga’s Academy Amidst Season Struggles

Lyon, France – French tennis player Elsa Jacquemot has ended her training relationship with Simon Blanc and the All In Academy, co-founded by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Thierry Ascione. The split comes after a demanding start to the 2026 season for the 22-year-old.

Seeking Stability

Jacquemot initially returned to the All In Academy last summer, expressing a desire for stability. However, the partnership proved short-lived. We are always looking for stability. I unfortunately couldn’t find it. I needed to get back to my habits, the stability I had with them. I felt I needed it. Coming back here really does me decent, she stated in November, according to L’Equipe.

Early Season Struggles and Frustration

Despite a first-round victory against Marta Kostyuk (ranked 20th in the world) at the Australian Open, Jacquemot has struggled to find consistent form, posting a record of one win and seven losses so far in 2026. Tensions surfaced during the Australian Open when Simon Blanc left the court during Jacquemot’s match against Yulia Putintseva.

Interim Support from Billie Jean King Cup Team

Currently without a dedicated coach, Jacquemot will receive support from the staff of France’s Billie Jean King Cup team during her upcoming tour in the United States, including stops at Indian Wells and Miami. Captain Alizé Cornet and coach Bertrand Perret will provide interim guidance.

Past Coaching Arrangements

Jacquemot has moved between several coaching structures throughout her career, including stints at the All In Academy, the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, and the Élite Tennis Center.

Looking Ahead

The change in coaching comes as Jacquemot aims to establish herself as a leading figure in French women’s tennis. The interim arrangement highlights the challenges she faces as she navigates the pressures of the WTA Tour.
