At the moment I want to focus on tennis and it is not easy to balance professional sport with studying, but if I don’t win another Grand Slam and soon get into the top 5 in the world, you can be sure that I am enroll in college.
“These were the words Polin uttered immediately after his victory in Paris.

Unhappy moments? When I had to have an operation a few years ago, it was very difficult. I thought I wasn’t going to play tennis anymore. Recovering from injuries is really difficult, but unfortunately it is part of tennis and sport in general. Photo credit: Julian Finney-Getty Images
