Early life

Born in Saint-Malo, Guinard began playing tennis at the age of 5-6 at the TCJA Saint-Malo under the guidance of his first coach, Olivier Courteau. At 12, he joined a tennis-studies program in Quimperlé, where he trained from 5th to 3rd grade. He later spent four seasons at the French Tennis Academy near Gorron, Mayenne. Driven by his passion for tennis, he aimed to build a career as a professional player, setting long-term goals such as breaking into the Top 100 worldwide. Early international experiences included Futures and Challenger tournaments, where he advanced past qualifiers. Known for his strong serve and forehand, he continued refining his game, particularly in advancing to the net. By 19, Guinard sought to obtain a state diploma (Diplôme d'État en France) to qualify as a tennis coach while simultaneously working on his competitive career. He joined the Tennis Elite Team (TET) project in Saint-Malo, led by Christophe Cazuc, to support his progression on the professional circuit.[4]
