You ask me about Arthur Rinderknech? That name, sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Well, let me tell you what I know, just what I heard from folks talking and some stuff I seen on the internet.
This Rinderknech, he’s a tennis player, a French one. Born in 1995, July 23rd, I think. Makes him a young fella, still wet behind the ears. But they say he’s good, real good. He plays that tennis, you know, with the rackets and the little yellow ball. Hits it back and forth, back and forth. Gets paid for it, too! Can you imagine?
They say he’s a “professional” tennis player. What that means, I ain’t sure. But it sounds fancy, don’t it? Probably means he’s better than your average Joe down at the park. And he’s got some fancy titles, too. Heard someone say he got somethin’ called a “career-high” something or other. Sounds important, anyways. Number 42 in the world, they say he was once. That’s somethin’, ain’t it? He is good at play the doubles ranking too, I think it was 124.
He plays in those big tennis tournaments. One of them is called the “Grand Slam”, which is just a fancy word for a tennis match. Played in the French Open once, got in ’cause someone gave him a “wildcard”. Don’t ask me what that is. Sounds like somethin’ out of a card game. This Arthur guy, he’s been climbin’ up the ranks, they say. Gettin’ better and better. Folks are startin’ to notice him, too. They call him a “rising star”. Well, he better watch out he don’t fall and get hurt!
This Rinderknech, he ain’t just playin’ for fun. He’s won some tournaments, real ones. One in a place called Rennes, another in Calgary. Then there’s Istanbul, Poznan, Zug, and Lille. Never heard of ’em, but they must be important if he’s winnin’ there. And he went to some fancy college, too. Texas somethin’ or other. Played tennis there, got some awards. Five-time All-American, they called him. Don’t know what that means exactly. But it sure sound like he play that tennis really good!
