## Transcript

You famously wrote in your book Open that you hate tennis, but you were very good at tennis. So I guess the question is do you hate philanthropy as well? [ LAUGH ] no, no. Actually philanthropy got me to not hate tennis. I, I don't describe my relationship with tennis as a love- hate, I describe it as a hate- love. It was It started off not my choice. It started off effecting my siblings, my relationship with my father. It started off with me being sent away to the Acadmey at 13 feeling abandoned. It started off with me taking this rebellion that I was starting to express and finding myself on the world stage and being labeled.

You know. So it just kept growing into something that I was more and more disconnected with. It felt like I was living somebody else's life. I would always have been better off in a team sport, and tennis wasn't a team sport. It was, it's lonely. But I could create my own team. I could, in a sense, find myself showing up to work for somebody else. But I felt when I started my school and when I started to, use my fame, use my resources to make a difference in children's lives in a sense I finally felt like I had my team.
