Beyond tennis

Resilience, hard work, pain, and satisfaction rose on the Emilio Sanchez Barcelona tennis courts where the ITF1 Wheelchair Catalonia Open was held.

Sometimes it takes sacrifices from the athletes to perform at their highest each and every day but, as the saying, hard work pays off.

World tennis day

Today is world tennis day, our student-athletes will celebrate it playing tennis. They do celebrate it every day playing tennis.
They play tennis every day and enjoy the sport like the first day. It is funny that is worlds tennis day because for most of our athlete tennis is their world. They have so much love for the sport that they decide to come here for the whole year to dedicate themselves to this sport. Our athletes play between 3-4 hours a day.
