Yannick Noah, the flamboyant tennis star famous for his flying dreadlocks and his deadly forehand, is the only French sportsman to have successfully reinvented himself as a pop star.
Yannick proved to be an absolute wizard on the tennis court and, encouraged by a couple of teachers, he spent hours on the courts training his front and backhand.
(Yannick is often to be found on the courts, racket in hand, in fact, giving tennis lessons to the youngsters!) Raising funds for a variety of charities including his own associations and the feed-the-homeless organisation "Restos du cœur" and starring in a number of TV adverts, Yannick rarely seems to be off the screen.

Frenchman Yannick Noah was one of tennis's driving forces in the 1980s as a successful and popular player, and continues to attract success as a Davis Cup and Fed Cup captain in the 1990s.

Say the words "Yannick Noah" to most teenagers now, and all they will say is "Yannick was born in Sedan, France, 18 May 1960" - or something equally banal.
