00:20He started playing tennis at 3 or 4 years old,

00:22and already everyone who saw him play was very enthusiastic.

00:25Since he started, he has been able to keep a good mentality when he plays.

00:29Winner or loser, he remains a fair play.

00:52There are more people who play now in tennis

00:54because we have a Martina Inghis who won with 16 years old.
