Description
These past weeks saw another off court face-off in the tennis world. Dominic Thiem, world no.3, made some comments about lower ranked players and ended up questioning their professionalism, making it look like he believed everyone started on the same foot. He has made comments now explaining himself, but sadly the PR damage was done. Ines Ibbou, and Algerian female player ranked around the 600's made an open letter video explaining her situation and many more others' struggles, asking simply for some respect. I fully agree with that stance she takes in the letter, as I go on an explain how I had a dream of becoming a professional tennis player too, but sadly that is not what God had in store for me and many obstacles proved themselves insurmountable. However, I will continue to love the game forever, and this podcast is proof that I still want to be involved in it however I can!Peace. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tennis-and-bagels/messageSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.
