Biography

She discovered table tennis under the influence of her father, who was born, like her mother, in Pondicherry and who played for a long time at a good level in India.[4] The family moved to Le Bourget, near the Paul-Simon gymnasium, where she played for the Bourget table tennis club. She started playing this sport when she was in the first grade. This left-handed player quickly became known for her speed and intelligence.[6]
