Zeballos and the illusion of his first Olympic Game: “It is a unique experience that I want to live”

The tennis player confirmed his participation in the tournament to be played in July and shared his feelings regarding the casualties that occurred in Argentine tennis.

The Olympic Games are about to start and the Argentine tennis is in a dilemma due to the casualties suffered these last weeks. And it is just like Federico Delbonis confirmed his absence, Guido Pella also did. That is why, given the uncertainty of not knowing if Juan Martín Del Potro He arrives in his recovery, the lights were on Horacio Zeballos, who spoke at #Bonadeo and finally confirmed his participation.

Tennis was one of the sports that returned the fastest after the global inactivity that was experienced by the coronavirus. That is why the players themselves had to re-adapt to the new regulations that govern each country: “Every week the restrictions of the countries change, so we are taking it week by week. You have to try to be calm and calm and play with the changes, but it is difficult. “

The Olympic games are close to arriving and Zeballos gave reassurance when confirming his presence: “I’m going to be at the games“. What’s more, He announced who will be his duo in the competition both in male and in mixed: “I’m going to play with Andrés Molteni. Initially I had the idea of ​​playing with Machi González because we had played before but, for reasons of his calendar, he decided not to go so I spoke to Molte and we agreed to play. And in mixed I’m going to play with Nadia so hopefully at Wimbledon we can play mixed so we get to know each other a little more “.

He also referred to the casualties suffered by both the Argentine tennis team and the world team: “EIt is a very difficult decision because it is the Olympic Games, in any other circumstance I think that no one wants to miss it. The schedule is very tight, the trip is very long and one with tennis it has to see where it stands for the following. I think this is why several players have been downloaded and I suppose they are going to download some more. Me I personally had never been to a game and they told me that it is a unique experience that I want to live so do not hesitate at any time “.

In turn, he referred to how the mixed duo that will conform with Podoroska: “It will be very even because many will be in the same situation. Beyond the fact that many play mixed in the Grand Slam, the couples are never the same so it will be an open series. Nadia is in a great moment, she played doubles at Roland Garros so it will be a beautiful couple that we are going to form. Me I have never played mixed doubles but from what they tell me once you enter the court is ‘to dog’s face’ and to give everything “.

Finally, he counted how do you prepare on a personal level for this Olympic event: “I have been playing well, I am physically, tennis and mentally well. I’m really looking forward to it and I think we’re going to perform. “
