How To meet Your Tennis Idol (Djokovic, Nadal And More!)

We’ve all dreamed about it as kids, and maybe even adults. But how would you actually come into contact with them? Here are a couple ways that you might find useful. Using Their Agency I know of 1 particular agency that represents a couple of big players like Djokovic and Nadal. They offer lots of different opportunities to contact their players. You can book a hitting session with them or have lunch with them, imagine finding out what Nadal orders at restaurants! You can get a private meet and greet with the player of your choice I’m not too sure but you could probably also do it for an organization too. Although this isn’t with a player you can get a “backstage tour” of an ATP or WTA tournament of your choice.

Haase, The Djoker's clone

Haase has been another player turning heads at this year’s edition of the Rogers Cup. Sadly, he is not a next gen player but he is a djoker just not the djoker. In his semifinals clash with Federer he earned himself fans by making a mid-match joke. When the Dutchman was preparing to serve a fan shouted “Come on Roger!” Robin quickly came up with a humorous response “my name is Robin!” It didn’t take long for the crowd to burst into tears after that. It helped him grow since then, in the days since he has gotten 50 more followers total compared to his daily average of 10. The tennis veteran has had an admirable 12 year career. He has managed to put two 250 events on his resume both tournaments being Kitzbuhel from 2015 and 2011. His career high ranking is 33. As a junior, Robin Haase was showing signs of stardom, his highest rank as a junior was world number 3! Up until today the dutchman has won 13 ATP challenger events and isn’t showing signs of stopping anyt...
