SOTO SPY! 🕵️‍♂️🎾

Access players @elenakarantali_ @jacksinik and @dominik__hagmann are working on patterns of play.

Player on their own has the intention of spotting the right opportunity to approach the net & finish the point using their forehand inside out/in.

2 players working together are trying to bully the backhand side to create space to attack into the forehand corner.

The ‘futures’ tour 🎾 The armpit of the te

The ‘futures’ tour
🎾

The armpit of the tennis world, where dog eats dog. During Covid times opportunities have become even more sparse and travel challenging. Expenses naturally have raised and due to less tournaments many tournaments now have high pre qualifying draws.

Here in Portugal this last couple of weeks the pre qualifying event has had over 50 entrants each week. The event played at different venues, different surfaces, no umpires or even present referees. The start of your professional journey yet the reality is ‘you are treated like dogs’

So the question is why? Why do these players do it? Why are they motivated?

Here are a couple of reasons why.

1. Passion - the video as you swipe showcases a match finishing at 1am. This is match 2 of 15 if this players want to win the event. It is match 2 of 9 if he wants to make any money this week (albeit 9 wins would get him €80). This isn’t the driving force for many. The buzz of the competing, the progression, the hope carries so many hearts in this sport

2. My favourite moment of the 2 weeks. @singhdigvijaypratap is my hero! As we waited for matches on a campsite in the pre qualifying a player walked up the stairs and cut his foot badly. @singhdigvijaypratap didn’t hesitate as he checked the guy was ok before ensuring his comfort and foot up on the chair. He then washed and dressed his foot for the next 30 mins. Not requested, no complaints. Only love and care to a potential competitor who he didn’t know.

This passion and this act of kindness sum up our beautiful sport. Yes it’s hard, yes there are bad moments, but the sport is full of passionate, hard working, kind individuals who invest their time,emotion and effort daily for the love of the game and the ‘hope’ that burns strongly.

Keep dreaming big kids and keep driving. You will fly on and off the court #protennis @itftennis @atptour @wta @lta #teamsoto

Thank you @singhdigvijaypratap for showing us all the way through kindness 🙏❤️

U10 Academy Player Valentina Bassadone working on keeping the engine running between shots. This allows you to be faster when reacting to the ball, resulting in a more dynamic first step and a better position in behind the ball. These actions all lead to a higher quality ball more often 🔥

Keep up the great work Valentina!
