#tbt to Roland Garros 2018 when Rafa took part to an exhibition organized by his sponsor Babolat to celebrate his decima. He hit balls with Carlos Moya and a few young players. Among them, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Mehdi Sadaoui winners of the 16&under Summer Cup last week.

I'm spending a few days in Le Touquet for the Borotra Cup, the 16&under Summer Cup. French won the trophy last year and are once again the favourite but Serbia is a serious contender for the final victory. Serbia will face Spain in the semifinals tomorrow while France will meet Great Britain for a place in the final. Check out link in bio for Borotra Cup preview and recap.⁠

I've been lucky to attend a few Davis Cup ties in the recent years, both in France and Belgium. My second Davis Cup tie was the Belgium vs Canada QF in 2015. Hosted in Middelkerke near Ostend on the Belgian coast, it was played in a relaxed and family atmosphere, really different from the crazy 2014 Davis Cup final I attended a few months before. Belgium defeated Canada 3-0 and went on to reach the final a few months later.
