We received the book by Daniel Bombardier in writing: “50 years behind the scenes of tennis”. Danielle Bombardier is well known to the tennis family.
She has been in charge of the players’ office for prestigious tournaments for 50 years. This position has therefore allowed him to experience professional tennis with champions who are always ready to ask for a service.
So the book is full of anecdotes and it’s interesting because it ultimately covers the entire history of the “Open” era of tennis. We have therefore decided to reveal some of them to also encourage you to go and buy this unusual “organic”.
To begin with, we had to come back to the escapades of a certain rather attractive Russian player, a certain Marat Safin: « In Lyon, Marat Safin was always a big hit with girls, but he wasn’t the type to make a big splash. He was very discreet, this boy, a smile from him and it was won. As in Jacques Dutronc’s song, ‘the girls were falling like flies’. From time to time, reinforcements arrived from abroad. I saw tumbling into the lobby of the Sofitel a battalion of “hot” chicks dressed as for a fashion show, long hair, high heels, it-bags the size of bags from Ikea. The kind of girls who don’t go unnoticed, and I said to myself: “Here, this is surely for Safin” and I was not wrong. “
