Casey Rolseth is an Australian professional tennis player, most notably a two-time Grand Slam champion who is currently playing for Team NetBeans in the Australian National Tennis League. He is thirty-three years old and is a two-time US Open champion. According to Casey Rolseth, playing professionally has been the most important step in his professional career thus far. However, he admits that sometimes it’s not always easy to succeed in a sport like tennis because many people believe that success is only achieved through winning. Rolseth strongly disagrees with this belief, stating that it is important to have the ability to enjoy whatever profession one does in life because there are so many things in life that are enjoyable.
As an example, he enjoys being a coach at a tennis academy while at the same time helping tennis players all over the world achieve their dreams of becoming a professional tennis player. He believes that although being a coach is important, the most important part of a tennis career will be the time that you spend with your tennis partners, whether they are your children or your friends. “I really enjoy spending time with my partners and helping them get better at the game”, says Rolseth. “Tennis is a great sport to share experiences and help others do the same”.
Being tall and athletic is something of personal preference. However, Rolseth acknowledges that having a strong height and body frame can be a major asset for any male tennis player considering that they will most likely be on the court more compared to their partners. A tall player can provide more balance, which can make a big difference when it comes to hitting a forehand shot or backhand shot. He adds that although he is not very tall at the moment, he is committed to working on his height. He has always said that if he had a body that was long like Prince William, he would definitely want to play tennis to give him the same advantages.
