Julie Coin (born 2 December 1982[1][2] in Amiens, France) is a professional French tennis player. Coin recorded the biggest victory of her career by defeating the world's #1 ranked female singles player, and #1 seed, Ana Ivanović at the 2008 US Open[3][4][5].
Family
Her parents are Philippe and Doriane Coin and they were competitive team handball players.[6]
College Career
Coin played at Clemson University, where she was an All-American, All-ACC, and ACC Player of the Year[7]. She also holds numerous Clemson Womens' Tennis records[7]. Coin graduated from Clemson with a degree in mathematics[8] and was entered on the deans list[7].
2008 French Open
Coin and her doubles partner, Violette Huck, made it to the second round of the 2008 French Open Womens Doubles tournament.[1]
2008 US Open
Coin's breakthrough came at the 2008 U.S. Open when she was ranked 188th in the world[5]. She entered the main draw as a qualifier after defeating Amanda McDowell, Sesil Karatantcheva and Elena Baltacha in the qualification rounds. [9] This was the first time she had entered the main draw in singles at a WTA tournament. [10]
In the first round, she defeated Australian Casey Dellacqua in tiebreaks, 7-6(6), 7-6(4). [9]
Coin rose to prominence and made worldwide headlines when she defeated world #1 and #1 seed Ana Ivanovic in the second round[3][4][5], 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. ESPN[3] and Sports Illustrated[5] both called the win one of the greatest upsets in tennis history.
Prior to Coin's upset victory, it had been 41 years since the top-seed had lost so early at the US Open,[3][4][5] the previous time being when Maria Bueno lost in the second round of the 1967 U.S. National Championships.[4] At the time of her victory against Ivanović, Coin was ranked 188th.[11]
She then lost 4-6, 4-6 to compatriot Amélie Mauresmo in the third round.
