Tennis through the Iran Revolution with CEO Haleh Emrani

The Iranian Revolution was a moment in history that most will never forget.  It changed our world and brought long term repercussions globally.  Amidst the protest and cultural shift a young girl named Haleh Emrani was crafting her tennis.  She was a child when she watched Guillermo Vilas play live in Terah under the old regime that was modernizing the country.  Once the religious clergy rose to power, Tennis for women in public was banned.  Listen to her story as she followed her passion from Iran to Los Angeles where she would become a regular in the USTA League matches and go on to develop a new tennis app with the hope of bringing the world together with the sport that she loves.
