Were all in deep mourning for our friend and trainer, the great Claude Gasigwa, who tragically died yesterday while out for a training run. Claude was Rwandas top tennis champion, and at the age of 31 had taken many regional titles. Orphaned by the genocide, tennis became his career. For years I watched him from afar. Then in 2013, Maya (now 7), announced that she wanted to train with him and thus began a new Sunday morning ritual. I wasnt sure how the top athlete would do training Maya and Elodie (now 5), but he quickly turned out to be a loving, supportive, and gifted mentor for both of them. nation.co.ke/sports/tennis/Jean-Claude-Gasigwa-Death-Cercle-Sportif-Rwanda/-/442212/2582850/-/sg9eay/-/index.html
