I like sports a lot. Here in the US, I had the chance to go and watch really nice games. I went to watch the San Jose Sharks, Golden State Warriors and also the Sybase Open, where played Pete Sampras, Michael Chang and Andre Agassi. During this tournament, I was a ball boy. My favorite sport is tennis, which I started playing when I was 10 years old in a club called SOCIEDADE HIPICA DE CAMPINAS, where I was playing before coming to the US. I have played a lot of tournaments in Brazil and have had a lot of fun. My coach there is Marcelo Tella. I played in Lincoln High School's team during 1997 tennis season. I was the league champion.

In February 1998 I went back to the United States to visit my family and friends. I had a grat time with them. We watched the Sybase Open again. This time, I had the chance to go to the player's lounge and get some pictures taken with some of them.

During June and July 1998 the World Soccer Cup was being played in France. Brazil almost won it, we lost the final to France 3 X 0. It was really bad!!! Well, in four years there is going to be another one and who knows maybe we can win it.
