Julien Henry Guy Benneteau-Desgrois[1] (French pronunciation:[ʒyljɛ̃bɛnto];[2] born 20 December 1981) is a French retired professionaltennis player. He achieved a career-high ATP singles ranking of No. 25 and doubles ranking of No. 5 in November 2014. Benneteau did not win a singles title, although he finished as runner-up in a record 10 ATP tournaments, including holding a match point in the2013 Kuala Lumpur final.[3] He reached the quarterfinals of the2006 French Open and the semifinals of the2014 Cincinnati Masters and2017 Paris Masters (the latter as a wildcard).

Benneteau also had success in doubles, winning the bronze medal in men's doubles at the2012 London Olympics (partneringRichard Gasquet) and the2014 French Open men's doubles title with fellow FrenchmanÉdouard Roger-Vasselin, thus becoming the first team from France to win the men's doubles discipline in 30 years (afterYannick Noah andHenri Leconte won the title in1984). Benneteau intended to retire from professional tennis after the2018 US Open.[4] However, due to an injury crisis he was asked by captain Yannick Noah to represent France in theDavis Cup semifinal in September 2018 against Spain. Benneteau teamed up withNicolas Mahut to secure a decisive victory that took France to an unassailable 3–0 lead against Spain and into the final of the2018 Davis Cup.[5] Benneteau subsequently played several further events in singles and doubles, concluding his professional career on home soil at theParis Masters.

Since 2018, Benneteau has been the captain ofFrance's Billie Jean King Cup team.[6]
