ArnaudDiPasquale, ranked a lowly 62nd in the world, won a titanic battle with Switzerland's Roger Federer to claim the bronze medal in the Olympic men's tennis tournament on Wednesday.
DiPasquale, who eliminated three seeds on his way to the semi-finals, won 7-6 (7/5) 6-7 (7/9) 6-3 to take France's first Olympic tennis medal since the sport returned to the Games in 1988.
It was another inspired performance from the 21-year-old who had to bounce back from the disappointment of failing to convert a match point on his own serve in the second set tiebreak and then needed on-court treatment for a strained leg after the fifth game of the final set.
