Buenos Aires - Over three decades after Renee Richards became the first transsexual in professional tennis, a Chilean player is set to follow the same path in Buenos Aires. "It's a dream come true for me," Andrea Paredes told the Argentine daily Clarin.
Paredes, 37, was set to make her debut Tuesday at a Futures tournament with 10,000 dollars in prize money, in what she hopes will be the start of her professional career.
Born on July 4, 1971 as Ernesto Paredes, the Chilean is a financial economy analyst and claims she feels more comfortable in Spain than in her own country.
