Sebastián Decoud (Spanish pronunciation: [seβasˈtjan deˈku];[1][2] born 18 September 1981) is a professional Argentine tennis player.

Tennis career[]

Decoud was born in Curuzú Cuatiá, Argentina. He starting playing tennis relatively late, taking it up as a 10-year-old.[3]

Juniors[]

In his brief career as a junior, he lost his only matches against future top pros Guillermo Coria and Nicolas Mahut, split his two matches with Paul-Henri Mathieu, and won his only encounter with Boris Pašanski.

Decoud reached as high as No. 32 in the junior world singles rankings in 1999.[3]

2000 to 2006[]

Decoud began playing professionally in 2000, but he progressed very slowly as a pro player. He broke into the top-400 in the world for the first time late in 2006 as a 25-year-old, finishing the year ranked #384.

2007[]

Decoud made more career progress in 2007, finishing the year at #289. He had moderate success in Futures and Challenger tournaments, and got his ranking high enough to try qualifying at two ATP stops in July, but lost both matches.

2008[]

Decoud won his first ATP match as a 26-year-old in February 2008 in Brazil. After qualifying into the main draw, he took out #50 José Acasuso in the first round, but then lost to #112 Nicolás Lapentti. That got his ranking to a career-high of #254.

He retired in qualifying the next week in Buenos Aires, with an injury that kept him off the tour for 3 months. But he came back strong in his next two matches, in the qualifying for the French Open, beating #124 Christophe Rochus and making his first Grand Slam main draw as a Lucky Loser after losing in the final qualifying round.
