"I haven’t experienced life as dad while competing"-Anderson on being dad

Anderson did not play tennis properly since the end of 2018 when he also reached his career-high in the ATP Ranking. 2-time Grand Slam finalist ended his 2019 season already in August and his wife Kelsey gave birth to their daughter Keira on 27th September 2019. Now, Anderson spoke about his life as a father and gave a bit of insight into his everyday life while spending time at home with his family.

"Obviously it’s been a little bit different… last year I was injured and didn’t play the rest of the year and then this season I only played a few events, and then I had surgery and then everything was shut down with the virus,” Anderson told ATPTour.com. “I haven’t really experienced full life as a dad and competing like I usually have. On the plus side, it has been nice spending time at home [in Florida] and just having more of a family life and being able to spend more time with her and my wife at home.”

“I think what I’m most fascinated by is just watching her, even though it’s so small, little leaps or learning curves, just watching her learn things. I think that’s been nice, where I’ve been able to spend quite a bit of time with her for basic things,” Anderson said. “There’s still so much to come, but even just listening to the baby talk and her grasping for things, being able to move around a little bit [has been great]. She hasn’t started sitting yet, but just being able to move around, recognising her smiling at you, just stuff like that. I feel like her just growing and learning has been the most amazing part of it for me.”
