WIMBLEDON, England — Welcome to the tennis world, where you will fail every week.

Julien Benneteau, 36, has won more than $9 million in his career and won a Grand Slam doubles crown. Yet, in singles, he considers himself a failure.

“I lost every week because I didn’t win an ATP singles title,” he said.

Benneteau has played nearly 600 singles matches on the ATP Tour in his career, compiling a record of 271-294. He has reached 10 tournament finals and won none.

“I have known failure because I lost every week,” he said. “Then I have to recover and think positively to be ready for the next week and do this week after week, month after month, year after year, to have a career from 2000 to now.”

Benneteau has tried to explain this to chief executives of companies, who view his career as a success.
