L'Équipe Wins 2023 Ron Bookman Media Excellence Award

French media outlet L'Équipe has been recognised with the Ron Bookman Media Excellence Award in the 2023 ATP Awards.

"It is a great honour for us, the journalists of L'Équipe, to receive the Ron Bookman Media Excellence Award from the ATP," L'Équipe said. "Winning the award for the third time, after 1999 and 2010, suggests that the baton is being passed from one generation of journalists to the next."

Recognised for excellent coverage of tennis on all their platforms (newspaper, magazine, digital, TV), L'Équipe prides themselves in being present on the Tour all year round, boasting a list of writers whose sole focus is tennis reporting: Lucile Alard, Vincet Cognet, Bertrand Lagacherie, Romain Lefebvre, David Loriot, Quentin Moynet, Franck Ramella and Julien Reboullet. Journalists Anne-Sophie Bourdet and Bruno Garay also play a key role for the magazine.

"Our commitment is to covering tennis as well as possible and be consistent in an attempt to write about everything that makes this sport so complex, from the game itself such as technique, tactical evolution, and history to the human side of the game," L'Equipe said. "We appreciate the fact that we are receiving this award collectively, because it is a real 'Equipe' [team] effort throughout each season."
