Afonso Coutinho

I started playing tennis at 5, when I used to play at my grandparents’ house. I’m a good player because I respect my opponents, never give up, and always give my best. My idol is Dominic Thiem, and I’d tell him I really enjoy his tennis. I’d like to win a Grand Slam and ask João Sousa how he became a professional. At Vanguard Stars, my funniest moments were all the times spent with my friends. This tournament is special for its great organization, good prizes, and the chance to play against the best, which helps me improve. My biggest dream is to be an idol for younger players and live in a world with no poverty, where I can help those in need.
