Juan Pablo Paz, 29, is ranked 590th in the ATP singles rankings. He has been playing tennis for many years and knows all the "tricks" to keep going.

Paz: "It is no secret that it is essential for all players who are outside the 100-150 of the ATP to play these tournaments" He says the best place to play is Eastern Europe, because the food is very good and the people are friendly. "Not even with the money from the Interclubs is it possible to support yourself by traveling with a coach," he says.
