The short feature “Ines Ibbou's open letter to Dominic Thiem” by Hassen Guedioura (France)
came first in the last edition of the Awards. Algerian tennis player
Ines Ibbou pours her heart out in an emotional video addressed to World
No. 3 Dominic Thiem for his opposition to a coronavirus relief fund
proposed to support lowly-ranked players like her who are struggling
financially. The 21-year-old narrates the difficulties she has had to
endure and sacrifices she has had to make so far in her career, in a bid
to make the Austrian understand the stark difference between his
“magical world” and her reality of surviving in a country that lacked
even basic infrastructure for the sport. “Just a reminder, it's not
because of your money that we survived until now. And nobody requested
to you anything. The initiative went from generous players who showed
instant compassion with a classy touch,” she tells Thiem.
