I sincerely thank my parents for their love, sacrifices, and endless support throughout my journey. I also thank my sister and my wife for always believing in me and standing beside me during both the difficult and joyful moments of my life.

Special thanks to the doctors, nurses, therapists, and rehabilitation teams who helped save my life and guided me through my recovery.

I am grateful to my coaches, teammates, and the wheelchair tennis community for giving me a second chance through sport.
