Matthew Perry, known for his portrayal of Chandler Bing in the 90s TV sitcom Friends, once considered becoming a professional tennis player due to his passion for the sport. Despite being a top-ranked junior player at age 13, Perry decided to focus on acting instead of playing tennis. He credits his success to his dedication to the sport and his desire to inspire others to achieve success. The ATP Masters 1000 of the season is set to begin in Indian Wells a month after the Australian Open, with several big names expected to feature.
