It means the world to me, that I can be in that position as a role model and mentor for our student- athletes. It’s great for the younger generation to be inspired by the top players, that’s what I had as a kid. It’s also very nice for them to have someone that they can look up to and feel like they can reach that level one day.I think it’s great having such a safe environment for the kids at the Academy. I think that education is very important if not more important than tennis and it allows them to have a bright future ahead with nothing to worry about. The system at Mouratoglou provides this environment and allows kids to pursue both their tennis and their studies.
