Nikoloz Bashilashvili’s Racquet
Georgia is not a country famous for their tennis players, but they have some hope in 24-year-old Nikoloz Bashilashvili who qualified for his first ATP Tour final in Memphis. He ended up losing to Ryan Harrison in straight sets, but it was still a valuable trip for the #67 ranked Bashilashvili. But we’re not here […]
