Channel-surfing convinced Richard to turn his daughters into tennis champions Richard never had any interest in tennis until one day, sitting at home in Long Beach, California, he caught a broadcast of the prestigious French Open. It wasn’t the act of hitting a ball back and forth on a clay court that caught his eye, nor was it the incredible athleticism and determination of the competitors that made him sit up. Instead, it was the From that point forward, Richard decided that he’d raise champion tennis players, no matter what it took.
