Oliver Tavert, before the Swiss Riedi in his debut in Wimbledon.
A tennis player … University
'Tarvs', as his friends call him, always wanted to be a tennis player but as a child he also practiced football. He also grew up, idolizing Rafael Nadal because his mother did not allow him to encourage anyone else … And now Rafa's 'heir' will be measured: Carlos Alcaraz.
Needs is from Saint Albans, To the north of London (although fond of Liverpool confessed) … but his tennis career (short, for now) has developed mainly in the United States. An atypical path that, however, has given positive results.

His access to second round should assure him a minimum of 99,000 pounds … but he will not charge everything. “I can claim up to $ 10,000, so I may take my coach in a private jet home. It is a bit uncomfortable because I have many expenses, but at the same time, I really want to return to the University of San Diego to complete my fourth year, “he explained himself, making it clear that, whatever happens in Wimbledon, he will return to the United States to close his university stage.
I can claim up to $ 10,000, so I may take my coach in a private jet home
The reason for that 'Tajo' in the stock market is that Saint Albans's remains amateur by the NCAA, and therefore, You can only receive as an economic prize compensation equivalent to your real expenses to compete. Nothing more, no less.

He will play at home, with the 'Hype', yes … but Tavert will face the number two of the world and great favorite to win the tournament. Alcaraz already imposed in the last two editions of the All England Club and this time, although it began with doubts and a long game to five sets against Fognini, 'in tone' comes.
