What would today’s tennis stars be without their fathers? We shudder to think, and on Father’s Day, we celebrate the father to tennis player bond by taking a sampling from the best tributes on social media.

My Dad is the person in my life who encouraged me to always dream big... He showed me how to inspired when I find myself outside my comfort zone because he knew those are the moments I would find my fire... he taught me to embrace being unique, to stand firm and be determined and most of all to be myself. He helped me discover my own greatness and become the person I am today. #HappyFathersDay Dad!! 😘❤️💁🏼♀️
