"I had many players who played just like me or were better - but they didn't stand a chance, fell by the wayside because they couldn't afford it." Says Argentinian Mariano Zabaleta, the former number 21 in the world tennis rankings. He won three ATP tournaments in his career, hung up his racket in 2010 and is now Vice President of the Argentinian Tennis Federation. At the same time, he is working on enabling future generations to have a similar career.
