"Our current state of isolation and confinement has been extremely difficult for me. But being able to take part in some physical activity gives me a mental and physical break. Situations like the existing COVID-19 pandemic will not last forever; my faith in God tells me that trouble will not last always.
This is why I try to maintain the best physical condition possible so that when this is all over I am ready to attack any challenges regarding my future in tennis."
The BLTA will continue to feature our athletes in the upcoming weeks. We applaud their efforts to stay in shape despite the current restrictions
due to the pandemic.
