Tennis Players Share Their First Tennis Memory

My earliest tennis memory would be when my mom drove me to our local park. I remember that one of my buddies didn't have a racket so I had to give him, I actually gave him my racket and I didn't practice. Well, I think in the beginning I was hitting my backhands quite like a baseball player. Hopefully I don't do the same right now. When I was about eight, I really wanted to break the first string on my racket. I had never broken one before and I couldn't do it. I actually gave it to another player that was older and she broke it for me. Then I remember running to my parents and telling them that I did it. My earliest tennis memory on TV is the Wimbledon final 2005, Federer against Brodick. When actually my parents were playing tennis with each other and I was at the back of the court annoying them, hitting the ball to the fence and sometimes the ball was rolling into the court so I was probably like three, four years old. First ATP tournament in St. Petersburg back then in 2013 and I've got my first ATP points. Well, my earliest tennis memory is when my dad bought me the first racket when I was four years old and we started playing in my grandmother's house which we sometimes we continue to play even now that we are old enough and every time that I step there I remember the first time that I hit it with him and hopefully I will do one day with my son. My brother used to play so I always had to go with practice with my mother to watch my brother actually and then at some point she says like it's easier we play together than yeah we wait stuck, stuck behind the court. So at some point we started playing with each other and I lost till I was I think nine or ten and then at some point I started winning against my mother so I think that's the earliest tennis memory for me.
