Sofia Shapatava is a #professional tennis player on the #WTA & #ITF tour.  She has won 27 tournaments in doubles and 2 in singles.  

The challenges she encountered on her tennis journey are for a book story. All the #adversity coming from a former Soviet Union country Georgia have made her who she is today.   

A strong independent woman striving to support the ones in need, in tennis and in life. Her #story and stories from many other tennis players need to be heard. The harsh truth about tennis life and how limited success on tour really is.
