- Have you or your club received sponsorship? If so, what form did it take?
Yes, my club helps me financially when I play matches for them. I also benefit from free infrastructure (courts, balls, trainers).
How has sponsorship impacted your training or competitive experience?
It's obvious that the money I get from my club and sponsors helps me pay for my tournaments, and having free access to the facilities helps me save money for my competitions.
How do you perceive the role of sponsors in your sport? Do they positively or negatively influence your experience as an athlete?
The sponsors play an essential role in my sporting project, as I get my rackets, bags and clothes free of charge. The companies that sponsor me are also very important for me to be able to pay for my competitions, travel, the accompaniment of my trainer and my academy, which represents a significant amount of money.
However, it's sometimes difficult to manage the pressure to achieve good results in order to represent the company well, or to hope to maintain the partnership. It's hard to believe that every bad result will have no impact on the partnership.
