In spite of playing to the football and practise it from small, always has felt a special devotion by the tennis, that is another sport that loves him, although it decanted for being footballer because "it gave him better".

It is thus that decided to invest in the tennis like employer, through the company of which is partner and founder, Kosmos. It does months, presented a project in which it would form a new competition of tennis to adapt the format of the Glass Davis and now already is a reality. The problem is that, in spite of that has had a lot of acceptance, also has received critical of some professional tennists.

There have been diverse opinions on the new format of competition and all respectable. There are tennists to which likes them, others to which no. Our aim is that in November all go out perfect and was a big party of the tennis", commented.

The project of Hammered, valid from summer

The past 16 August produced the votes of the International Federation of Tennis (ITF) on the project presented by Kosmos, consistent in changing the format of the Glass Davis -the annual tournament that confronts to the tennists by countries- by a world-wide tournament more attractive. By the means, the competition has baptised as 'Davis of Hammered', something that the own footballer has refused. Nevertheless, the event paints very attractive.
