Stéphane Huet ({{IPA|fr|stefan ɥɛ|lang}}; born 25 April 1971) is a French tennis coach and a former professional player.[http://www.welovetennis.fr/interviews/27712-stephane-huet-il-n-y-a-pas-de-limites Stéphane Huet : "Il n'y a pas de limites"] 23 September 2010.
Huet appeared in a total of 16 Grand Slam tournaments during his career. When he made his Grand Slam tournament debut in the 1993 French Open, as a qualifier, he was ranked 297 in the world and had just one tour match to his name.The New York Times, [https://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/26/sports/tennis-qualifier-stuns-lendl-in-paris.html "Tennis; Qualifier Stuns Lendl In Paris"], 26 May 1993, Robin Finn. Despite this, in the opening round he managed to defeat seventh-seed Ivan Lendl in four sets. It was the first time since 1978 that Lendl, a three-time French Open winner, had exited the tournament without registering a win. In 1999, Huet made the second round of two Majors, the Australian Open, where he beat Arnaud Di Pasquale, and the French Open, where he defeated Hendrik Dreekmann, before losing to Alberto Berasategui. At the 1999 US Open, Huet lost a final set tie-break in the first round to eventual finalist Todd Martin. The Frenchman reached the second round at Grand Slams on two further occasions, the 2000 Wimbledon Championships, when he defeated Mahesh Bhupathi, and at the same event a year later, when he had a victory against Markus Hipfl. He also played men's doubles twice and mixed doubles at four Major tournaments.[http://itftennis.com/ProCircuit/players/player/profile.aspx?PlayerID=10000632 ITF Tennis Profile]
On the ATP Tour, he was a quarter-finalist at Toulouse in 1998 and also reached the quarter-finals stage at Palermo two years later. In the 2000 Tashkent Open he had a win over Carlos Moyá.[http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Hu/S/Stephane-Huet.aspx ATP World Tour Profile]
