Some news :

- a u15 girl aiming high : https://footballi.net/news/r/845587/...A7%D8%B3%D8%AA

- a u18 girl could play the next Australian open junior : https://footballi.net/news/r/845272/...B4%D9%88%D8%AF

I am surprised the girls are performing much better than boys despite all the restrictions..

That is amazing to train with such a tennis superstar. I wish him luck and it would be so refreshing to name an Iranian tennis player aside Mansour Bahrami.
