A new edition of Tennis Talks was held this Monday in which the activity of the main draw of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo began. The in-depth talks with the protagonists of the seventh edition left lessons about their life, sport and professionalism for all those present.

World No. 13 Cameron Norrie opened the curtain to tell the story of how he decided to move to the country to pursue his dream and also the importance of going to university.

“I played rugby at school, but I decided to commit to tennis, give it a chance, all my energy and it was a big gamble for me, moving from New Zealand to be fully into tennis… I wasn't being very professional in London, I needed mature, so it definitely shaped me, I think that was probably the reason why I went to university, I wanted to have a normal lifestyle, go to classes, ”the British representative shared.

“I always recommend doing the race, you have to be fully committed to going tournament after tournament. At 18 or 19 you sacrifice a lot, all your friends have fun, you feel like you're going to miss that, but if you're good enough you have to do it… The big difference is that you have less pressure at university, you have time to develop physically and you have fun” concluded the Los Cabos Tennis Open champion in 2021.

Then it was the turn of the Mexican youth Rodrigo Pacheco, who shared his experience at Roland Garros junior, where he won the doubles championship in 2023.

Tommy Paul, current No. 14 on the ATP, was asked if he feels pressure to carry the United States flag since there is no player from that country who is close to being number 1 in tennis.

The public was also able to ask different questions to the stars, among them several children who practice tennis. Stefanos Tsitsipas, who closed Tennis Talks, revealed the reason why he decided to pursue a professional career in this sport: “...my main goal was to provide for my family. It was the first thing that came to my mind, to give them a better life. Of course Grand Slams and No. 1 are clichés that of course any player wants, but my vision is to make a living from tennis. I am privileged to have to work hard, there are many people in the world, children suffering without food, without a roof. There is no better feeling when going to sleep than knowing that you worked hard. I owe my life to tennis, I have made a name for myself for that" shared the Greek No. 5 in the world, who also assured that his relationship with fellow tennis player Paula Badosa is the best thing that has happened to him and that he has already become fan of the singer Bad Bunny.
