There will be Olympic athletes of all ages in Paris later this month for the 2024 Summer Olympics. One of the oldest athletes in the games will be a former UCLA Bruins tennis star.
Jean-Julien Rojer is set to head back to the Olympics for the fourth time in his career. He participated in the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics, but has yet to medal.
The 6’0, 41-year-old competed on the UCLA Bruins Men’s tennis team, is a four-time Grand Slam champion, having won Wimbledon in 2015, US Open in 2017 and the French Open in both 2014 and 2022. Each time it was a doubles title.
