Schooled in Jean-Zay, La Zup, Niort, his passion for squash was ignited through his father's legacy.
Jean-Michel Masotti was himself a nationally ranked squash player before he, his wife Anne, and their newborns Marion and Baptiste settled in La Moucherie, Saint-Liguaire, Niort, in the late 1990s.
Beyond squash, Baptiste Masotti also boasts a passion for railways and, amongst all, consistently refers to the "rails de Saint-Liguaire" [sic] as a "turning point in [his] life".
