He peaked at world No. 3 in singles in July 1986 and hit No. 1 in doubles the following month. He won the French Open doubles in 1984, a year after his singles triumph. After retiring, he captained both France's Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup teams, then pivoted to music and became a chart-topping performer in France. He co-founded a charity with his mother for underprivileged children, was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2005, and is honored annually at Roland-Garros on Yannick Noah's Day. His son Joakim played in the NBA.
