Jean and Chris during the Lottery Shuffle

He is scheduled to play in doubles 2 alongside his teammate, Chris Hoppman, against Seiichi Yukimura and Genichirō Sanada.
While 5-1 games ahead, Chris eventually loses his sense of touch, leaving Jean to defend on his own. Jean is unable to return Black Dragon, therefore they lose the next 6 games.
Playing Styles & Techniques[]
He is the captain but he is not the strongest player on the team. He is an excellent defensive player. Noah Dorgias suggested the first doubles match should be played by defensive players since the Japanese team would most likely be offensive players. Jean fits this strategy.
His slice serve makes the opponent run horizontally, he emphasizes on returning low defense balls. With his textbook-like defense, he leads Australia to victory.
According to the Official Fanbook Volume 23.5, he is a right-handed counter-puncher.
