You’ve managed to balance a career in both professional sport and global media. What drives you? Sport shaped my personality from the very beginning. It taught me ambition, discipline, and resilience. I started tennis at the age of six, trained intensively for nearly 17 years, and later discovered padel, which gave me a fresh challenge. At the same time, I built my career in media with beIN Sports, where I have worked for more than 20 years. For me, sport instilled the motivation and structure that guided every part of my life, both on the court and in front of the camera.
