A two-minute walk out his front door in Mexico City leads Santiago Sierra to his childhood tennis club, where he first fell in love with the sport. Sierra started playing soccer when he was five years old; then, one day, he decided to check out the tennis club right by his home. From then on tennis was the only thing on his mind.
“I grew up playing tennis in Mexico City and played there for about 10 years, where I was coached by the same person for all those 10 years,” Sierra said. “It was always fun playing tennis back home because there were lots of people playing tennis in Mexico.
