BTRussia:  What are your impressions of Russia? What cities did you manage to visit? What did you like more?

Tommaso Giovannini: I have been to Russia 7 times, the first time was in  winter at a tournament in St. Petersburg. Of course, the first time it was very cold for me. The rest of the time I was in the summer in St. Petersburg, Moscow and 4 times in Kazan. I think Russia is very different from Italy, both cities and people are different. But always when I was in Russia, I liked everything. And of course, my favorite city is Saint Petersburg.

BTRussia:  Can I become a professional by learning beach tennis on Youtube?

Tommaso Giovannini: I Think it's impossible. Yes, it can be useful, but you need to train a lot. You need attend classes. But it's not enough just to watch the video.

BTRussia:  Everything has a reason. Why did you start playing beach tennis?

Tommaso Giovannini: I started playing beach tennis because I love this sport. I started playing early, from the age of 10-11. I like to travel and compete. I like to experience the emotions that I feel when I play, so I think I have the best job in the world.

BTRussia: How do You take care of yourself?

Tommaso Giovannini: In my normal life, I train a lot. For example, on Monday, I go to the gym, the next day I play beach tennis on the sand, and so I do all the week.

BTRussia: What is the secret of a perfect abs?

Tommaso Giovannini: I have no idea, because my abs are not perfect.

BTRussia:  What childhood dreams have come true?

Tommaso Giovannini: When I was a kid, I wanted to become a professional player and I had 3 big dreams: 1. Become the first in the world; 2. Win the world Cup; 3. Win the tournament in Aruba. I have realized  two of them, so I am looking forward to winning the world Cup. But this year it is not real, as there is no possibility to play the tournament due to a virus.

BTRussia:  Give advice to the newcomers.

Tommaso Giovannini: My advice: train hard and always play fair.

BTRussia:  What would you never do in your life?

Tommaso Giovannini: I'd definitely never touch a snake or a huge spider in my life. 100%

BTRussia: If you had a chance, what would you change in your past?

Tommaso Giovannini: If we talk about my career in beach tennis, I have no regrets. I like everything I've done. There were good and bad moments, but I still don't regret about anything.

BTRussia: How did you start playing beach tennis?

Tommaso Giovannini: I started playing in the city of Maria di Ravenna, the city where this sport was born. I was 10 years old. And I immediately fell in love with this sport. And since then, I've never stopped playing it.

BTRussia: Cosa fai nel tuo tempo libero? What do you do in your spare time?

Tommaso Giovannini: I think this question is about ordinary life, not about the quarantine period. I like to have fun, meet friends, go to parties, just like everyone needs to relax sometimes. But I think when it's over, I'll be playing beach tennis all day.

BTRussia: Chi ti ispira? Who inspires you?

Tommaso Giovannini: I am inspired by young promising players. Among the Italians they are  Spotto and Catanni. In my opinion, they are the strongest. I hope soon there will be new ones from my city of Lugo and Ravenna.

BTRussia: How are you?

Tommaso Giovannini: I’m fine, thank you.

BTRussia: What distinguishes a bad guy from a good one?

Tommaso Giovannini: I think I'm a good guy, but when I'm on the court, I can act like a bad guy, but not because I'm not playing fair. Because I'm acting impulsively, my nickname is "Crazy horse", now you can guess why.

BTRussia: During the quarantine, people were divided into 2 types: some eat a lot, others do a lot of sports in the quarantine, which type do you belong to?

Tommaso Giovannini: I train and eat. I am Italian, so  for sure I like to eat. But only very good food.
