This term our focus is about Greatness. For that we had to write a Bio I chose Kevin Anderson.
He is A pro tennis player from South Africa, but I wan't tell you any more you will need to read to see.
Kevin Anderson became the top ranked male South African tennis player on 10 March 2008 after making the final at the 2008 Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas but he become pro in 2007.
He became 5th in the world on 16 July 2018, a couple weeks later he beat the world famous the Spanish Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon at the time Rafael Nadal ranked no 2 in the world!
Anderson has a massive serve, and regularly clocks over 110 kph even on the second delivery. He hits a ton of aces every match, and also gets a lot of free points even if the opponent gets a racket on the ball.
Kevin Anderson enjoys outdoor adventures, reading, playing guitar and racing sports cars.He is 6’8 (203cm). Anderson has worked to reduce the use of plastic on tour after finding inspiration in the documentary, “Plastic Oceans”. He raised more than $100,000 at inaugural Grand Slam Cause for the Paws in 2017, supporting dog rescue Dezzy's Second Chance and Ocean Conservancy. He had series of injuries in 2016-17, including left knee, right shoulder, groin, hip and left thigh. Also underwent minor ankle surgery on 15 March 2016.
Anderson was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, but moved to the United States. He took up tennis at the age of 6, and by the age of 12 was a notable presence on the junior circuit, where he frequently faced off against a young Rafael Nadal.
His peers regularly commend his sportsmanlike nature, and it would be fair to say that Anderson has well and truly earned the respect of the tennis world - both with his game and his personality. He reached Grand Slam finals in consecutive years, at the 2017 US Open and 2018 Wimbledon. Anderson when to University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign he said it’s a great school and the academic side of things are really good.
