Perspective: Anne Keothavong
How our experiences inform how we see the world, with GB's Fed Cup captain.
How our experiences inform how we see the world, with GB's Fed Cup captain. Anne Keothavong was formerly Britain's number one ranked tennis player, but her route into the sport was anything but typical. Her parents are from Laos in South East Asia; they raised their children on a housing estate in Hackney, and saw tennis as one way to give them more opportunities than they had. As well as the impact of her upbringing and her parents' outlook on her perspective, Anne talks about the sad death of Elena Baltacha 鈥� her top rival to be British number one during their playing days. (NB: the Fed Cup will be renamed the Billie Jean King cup in 2021.) @simonmundie
