Conversations: Dustin Brown
Thursday, February 21, 2008
Black Tennis Pro's has the pleasure of an exclusive interview with professional tennis player Dustin Brown.
I caused a little bit of a stir among some of my female readers a couple of months ago when I created a post entitled "Jamaica's Dustin Brown Has The Look." The post consisted only of photo's of Dustin, because at that point I had no firsthand information to accompany "the look."
Fortunately, Dustin uses the internet. He came upon the post and left a comment, when I saw it I contacted him immediately. He was on the road playing tournaments at the time, but was kind enough to work with me through email to provide an interview, for which I am very grateful. I would love to have followed up on some of his responses, perhaps next time.
Shelia: Where do you currently live?
Dustin: Jamaica has a tennis federation, but they aren’t doing anything for professional tennis, so basically you are right, there is no federation. They don’t sponsor me and evenso I am the best tennis player Jamaica had over the last 16 years, they don’t even report my results in the media. With some financial support I could be much further than I am right now. I am training in Germany right now, and my equipment is sponsored by Babolat (Rackets), Pacific (Strings) & Topspin (Clothing). This is only equipment sponsoring, no money.
Shelia: Which tournaments will you be participating in soon?
Shelia: I notice that you've done some modeling, do you enjoy it? Is it something that you are serious about?
Shelia: You caught the eye of some of my readers so I created a post from some of the photos on your website. It went over very well.
Shelia: What do you do for fun? Or do you have much time for fun?
Shelia: Okay, let's get some 'fun facts' about you, what's your favorite food?
Dustin: Ackee & Saltfish (Jamaican National Dish).
Shelia: Favorite book?
Shelia: Favorite Movie?
Dustin: Cool Runnings.
Shelia: Favorite type of music?
