Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori sparking a Nordic tennis dream
Emil Ruusuvuori is only 22 but already boasts of wins against the likes of Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem in his nascent career. And the remarkable becomes unbelievable when you take into account he was spotted by a tennis coach, Mika Muilu, for his hand skills while he was playing badminton with his mom at the age of five. Ruusuvuori is a gifted athlete to begin with, but he still wonders what if Muilu had not interrupted that friendly shuttle session between a mother and son.
