Grandmother revives tennis dream at 83

By Agence France-presse in Buenos Aires | China Daily | Updated: 2017-01-10 07:58

Ana Obarrio de Pereyra Iraola's dream of becoming a tennis star was put on hold in 1949 when her husband stopped her playing.

For the next 20 years, she concentrated on raising their 10 children instead. But now at 83, the Argentine grandmother has revived her dream.

"I like to compete. I like to win," she says, sitting down in the heat at the Hurlingham sports club in Buenos Aires.
