Later, Tyson talked about his daughter changing her lifestyle because of tennis. “I see her transcending into something she would never have before if she hadn’t got involved in tennis… At 11/12 years old, she has confidence in herself. She is disciplined in her own. She gets up, cooks her meals, takes a shower and goes to the gym every day at 7 or 8am. She stays there until 4pm. She is very diligent and she wants to do this,” he further added.
