My kind of place


Tennis star Xavier Malisse

Water world

Put me on any beach and it becomes my kind of place. The bright sun, the dancing waves, a deck chair… and I am a relaxed soul. When I went to Florida for the first time in 1997, I couldn’t resist its lovely beaches.

Jet, set, go

I enjoy travelling to different countries. One of the perks of being a sportsperson is you are on the move. But the game takes away all your time. You hardly get to see and discover new places. Sometime after a match or a practice session, I step out.

Plateful

I treat food like tennis, different shots, different flavours make both exciting. But nothing too exotic please.

Looking back

I have fond memories of travelling as a young boy. I can never forget that trip to Japan when I was 12 for the junior World Championships. It was quite a cultural shock.

What’s travel?

Getting to sleep on the long flights.
