Daniel Silvestre

Name: Daniel Silvestre Gender: Male Birthdate: 3/16/1990 Born in: Santa Comba Dão, Viseu Portugal Resides in: Santa Comba Dão, Viseu Portugal Play Style: Right Handed Level: 3.5 - Intermediate My Raquet: Babolat Pure Drive My Strings: Babolat I prefer clothes by: Nike I prefer shoes by: Nike   About Me: I'm a tennis player who aspires to enter the ATP Ranking. I live in a small town about 250 Km far from the capital, Lisboa. I train everyday and even I only train since three years ago I'm training very hard so I can be a Pro. I have a coach that is also a tennis player (he's Brazilian) and he helps me a lot. I have so save money for tennis things every month, and that is the way I get money for championships. I have one only racquet that is Pure Drive Team that I won in a non-ranking tournament. The only problem is that I train about 30 Km away from my town and I have to spend all of my money (that my parents give me every month) in the fuel. That's the main reason that I need a sponsorship so I can spend that money in tennis things and save money for the fuel. My Goals My immediate goals are to win the two tournaments that I have, one it's organized by Babolat and another is near my town (about 50 Km away). My future goal is to be national champion and enter the ATP. My dream is to became one of the 150 firsts places in the Ranking. I have to believe that I can do it and with very hard work and some lucky and help (sponsors, family, coach) I could do my dream come truth... My Highlights I haven't won any national tournament although I train very hard. I've only participated in three tournaments this year. I've participated in one of my category where I was in the final, and where I was winning when I got a back problem (I felt) in the second set. I've also participated in two adults tournaments. In the first one I've lost in the 3rd round and in the other I've lost in the final against my coach. It's very hard to enter tournaments for me because you have to pay the entry and because they're very farway from my town and I haven't got money for the fuel... I really need a sponsor to participate in tournaments.   More Photos... View Large
