When the elite player was asked why he is teaching tennis to newcomers, Massu said: “At this stage of my career, and with many injuries affecting me, I want to pass on my experience. I want to encourage kids to be the best they can be at whatever interests them, it doesn’t have to be tennis”.
Massu is currently in training after a tough year and aims to recover his spot in the ATP ranking list: “Right now I am focused on being at a competitive level physically and mentally. My goal for 2011 is to return to the circuit”.
Recently, rumors had surfaced that the famous player wants to name an entire arena after him. But this, he assures, is only one of his many ideas for when he retires: “I will start thinking about that in 3 or 4 years. Tennis has given me so much that I want to give something back. For example by giving more clinics like this one. I can also imagine becoming a pro coach, Davis Cup captain or doing anything else tennis related”.
