Former ATP player John-Laffnie de Jager shares his experience of playing against the 'Woodies' in the Stuttgart Masters 1000 semi-final on the same day as the crucial Springboks versus Wallabies rugby match.
Despite a tight schedule and De Jager's fear of missing the rugby game, delays allowed him to follow the rugby match before winning a challenging match with David Adams against his Australian opponents.
De Jager's success on the tennis court served as a form of redemption and a light-hearted jab at Australia for their rugby victory, showcasing his dedication and competitive spirit.
