Tata Open Maharashtra: Joao Sousa ends Elias Ymer’s run, to meet Emil Ruusuvuori's in final
Joao Sousa moved to Barcelona at the age of 16 and started training at the BTT tennis academy, where Francisco Roig, a key member of Rafael Nadal’s coaching staff, became his mentor. For the following six years, the Portuguese had the opportunity to learn from one of the game’s top minds and also had the occasional opportunities to practise with the Spanish legend himself. Needless to say, the 32-year-old Portuguese has imbibed the never-say-die fighting spirit of the Mallorcan.
