Asamoah Gyan's passion for tennis runs deep
This isn’t the first time Gyan has been seen on a tennis court.
In 2022, his Baby Jet Promotions company actively supported multiple tournaments across Ghana, reinforcing his commitment to the sport, as noted by Goal.
He previously voiced his desire for increased attention on tennis, stating in September 2020:
"Ghanaians don’t follow tennis like before. I’m appealing to the media to give tennis attention a bit. Football is the No.1 sport and we respect that. But tennis is my second love, so this is what I am doing now."
Gyan’s stint in tennis has not been without controversy. In October 2020, he and his brother, Baffour, found themselves in hot water after an altercation with an opponent during a practice session, leading to a public apology, per Graphic Online.
Despite that rocky episode, his enthusiasm for the sport has remained unwavering.
His dedication bore fruit in December 2021 when he partnered with his sibling—also a former Ghanaian international—to claim victory in a doubles competition.
