GUSTAVO : THE MOST HUMBLE PERSON









Gustavo Kuerten, worldwide known as Guga, is a very famous tennis player. He was born in September 10th in Florianopolis. He started playing tennis when he was six. He and his parents used to go to the club to play tennis and so he started enjoying this sport by watching his parents playing.
Olga Schlosser, his grandmother, is also an important person for Guga’s career. She motivated Guga and she sponsored him when he was a kid. She has been watching his games and supporting him up to now.












Guga is encouraged by all his family. Everyone has a special function for his career. His older brother Rafael, is Guga’s agent and best friend.
He is a very good tennis player. He for three times won the championship of Roland Garros, one of the most important in the world, in 1997, 2000 and 2001. And the Grand Slam and the Masters Cup of Lisbon.
He is always involved with social programs. In 97 and 98 he specially helped the APAE, with deals with programs for the disabled. He has helped institutions around the world.
I like Guga because he is a very good person, an example for everybody. Most of the tennis players are rude, but Gustavo is very humble, friendly and generous.
He passes for everybody a message which shouldn’t be lost with the time. We should be good, help the others because doing that we are going to be rewarded in someway in life.
Guga does a lot of generous things that every one should do too. He contributed to the world making our life a little better.
