Jules Rojer is the definition of a warrior on the ATP Tour.

A doubles specialist from the small Caribbean island of Curaco, Rojer´s tennis career has already spanned more than 20 years, winning 37 doubles titles and 4 Grand Slams along the way.

Rojer has been as high as world number 3 in doubles. He won his first Men’s doubles Grand Slam at the age of 35 at Wimbledon, and his 3rd aged 41 in Paris in 2021. In today´s episode he shares his story that has led to this point.

Jules tells us about:-

  • The early influences that helped shape his mindset and work ethic on his home island of Curaçao.
  • The influence and emotion attached to parental love and support.
  • How winning isn't the only measure of success in sports.
  • How doubles has changed during his career.

Jules is a storyteller, and this episode is filled with stories that will make you laugh, smile and the odd tear!
