Tragedy to triumph: Denis Istomin’s journey back to the tennis court
I really respect all the players, and what they do. I don’t have some difference between Roger (Federer) and No. 200 in the world, so I always try to say hi to everyone and try to speak and be friendly.”
-Denis Istomin
I had the chance to play tennis on a clay court the other night, for the first time in several years. It was great!
Tennis is my favorite sport, but playing on clay takes it to another level.
There’s just something about the way the surface plays and feels. It’s the same sport of course, but it’s a different game than what you play on hard courts.
Had some great conversation out there with the guys who came out to play. One of them is a lifelong clay court player, two of them had never played on clay before. We all enjoyed it.
Never mind the fact that the French Open is taking place at Roland Garros right now. So, it was a nice plus to get to play on the same (albeit different color) surface while that tournament is underway. 🙂
I’m super thankful to be able to play the game I love. Any other tennis fans out there? It really is a lot of fun.
Have a great day!
