🎾 British tennis sensation Fran Jones is set to light up the US Open as she makes her main draw debut in New York against Germany’s Eva Lys. The 24-year-old has been defying odds since she was a child, born with Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia Syndrome, meaning she’s missing two fingers and three toes. But that hasn’t stopped her impressive journey to the tennis elite.
Did you know doctors once told her she’d never make it as a professional player? Yet here she is, ready to take on the world stage, having cruised through the qualifying rounds with straight-set victories. Talk about determination!
Despite the challenges, Fran never let her condition stand in her way. She’s faced her share of hurdles, including a scary collapse in Colombia earlier this year due to high-altitude conditions. But nothing holds her back for long. Now fully recovered, she’s more determined than ever.
Fran draws inspiration from her good friend Emma Raducanu and is hopeful to follow in her footsteps, while sharing a special bond where they chat about everything except tennis!
Here’s hoping Fran can advance beyond the first round, achieving her highest Grand Slam finish yet. Whatever the outcome, her journey is an inspiring tale of resilience and spirit. Let’s cheer her on! 🌟💪 #USOpen #FranJones #TennisChampion
