Genois played in this first main draw for the year in early May at the Raleigh Challenger on clay, and did well reaching the third round in singles. In singles, he and partner Richard Legendre lost in the first round however. He next, two weeks later, saw action in the French Open where he went out in the opening round to No. 10 seed Brian Gottfried in straight sets. He was to be his only main draw appearance at Roland Garros.
