Zverev gave an emotional speech after winning the U.S. Open about his mom and how she helped him achieve his dreams despite struggling with diabetes
“I wanna thank one more person who’s never actually watching my matches but is the most important person in my tennis life and in my life in general.
When your 4 year old son gets diagnosed with diabetes, and doctors in the office tell you that life and sports will be very very limited for that child, it takes a very very strong mother to walk out of those offices and say ‘My son will be wherever he wants to be.
If he wants to be a tennis player he’ll be a tennis player. If he wants to do something else, he’ll do something else. But this illness will not define us.’ My mother is the most important and strongest person I know. It takes an unbelievably strong woman to do what she did.” 🥹
Congrats to all players named to our 2024 U9 Selects Team representing CBR at the Avalon Celtics U9 Invitational Tournament.

Great start to our provincial tournament today with a close game against GFW. The Raiders won 5-3 with some great pitching performances, including Nick Haggett our POG today. Well done Nick!
