The tournament organizers gave the opportunity to work Ball Kid, serving tennis balls, young Alessandri Bonomy. Thus, Alessandra became the first child with Down syndrome, who independently, without assistance, worked out the entire ATPR match.
Young Bonona perfectly performed her duties during a quarter -finals in a men’s paired discharge at Andres Jimenez’s court, causing the audience’s ovation and a wave of support on social networks after the tournament noted its achievements.
“There is a lot of work behind this. It was an idea that seemed to a dream when we offered it. And to bring it into a reality is incredibly inspiring for us, ”said Mark Awedo, the head of the team of tennis balls at the ATP 500 tournament in Barcelona.
“It demonstrates to the world that anyone, even with disabilities, can achieve everything that he wants in life if he strives for self-improvement and will make efforts,” Visedo added.
