My father started playing in 1992, when the Olympic Games were in Barcelona. I was 7 years old, and I began combining playing with him alongside my tennis lessons.

Only in 2025, since January, I’ve led 10 clinics and coaching courses across 7 different countries and 3 continents (America, Africa, and Europe).
