Bloody good on him! From milking cows to winning at Roland Garros - that's the Kiwi way.
Must be nice to have the money to train in Germany. What about the rest of our young tennis players stuck in NZ?
get over yourself. Kid worked hard.
Yeah nah, can't we just be happy for the kid for once? Sick of the negativity.
So proud! Another Kiwi smashing it overseas. Well done Jamie 🎾
Did he grow up on a dairy farm? The story says 'strong family connections in the dairy industry' but doesn't say if he actually lived there.

do you know if the dairy connection is his parents or grandparents? Just curious.
ffs the dairy industry connection is just a feel-good angle. Kid lives in Germany now. Good for him but let's not pretend he's a typical Kiwi battler.
doesn't matter where he trains. He's repping NZ. That's what counts.
lol cope harder. Let the kid have his moment.
mate who cares where he trains. He's still a Kiwi. This is what happens when you have actual facilities and coaching.
cute that you think that's enough. Meanwhile our domestic tennis scene is a joke.
