Roger Federer gets emotional for amazing story about nine-year-old kid
The nine-year-old Brazilian Pablo's story reached a lot of people both in the country and over the world. Pablo wants to become a professional tennis player in order to give a better life to his grandmother that he calls 'mother'. 'My goal is to be a great tennis player, have a better life for my mother and buy her a house', said Pablo. Outside his house, the creative guy put two pieces of wood on the floor and he hanged up a cloth piece that serves as a hammock. 'It was his idea. He was hitting the ball here (on the wall). He soon started to call me "mum, see what I did". That was his court', said the grandmother.
The 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer got attracted by it and sent a video message to Pablo. 'I saw the story, I heard the story of Pablo, very inspired a lot with you guys trying to become great, better tennis player, great people in the process', said Federer. 'I think I grew up very much as a person so I wish you the same, so tennis has a workout. You learn how to fight, you learn determination, to make it life and that's gonna teach so many things in sports. So be friendly with one another, work hard, try hard, all the support to you and just continue with what you are doing and chasing your dreams.'
Federer will start his new season with Belinda Bencic at the Hopman Cup.
