WALTER REDONDO
Interviewed by Noah Zamora

As a professional tennis player, Walter reached a career high ranking of 226 in the world.
Walter is the fifth of nine children born into a Filipino American family from San Diego. Growing up he was a leading player on the junior circuit, ranked top in the country for the 16s, ahead of his peer John McEnroe. On the professional tour he reached a career high ranking of 226 in the world and as a doubles player he made the round of 16 at the 1981 Wimbledon Championships.

Since retiring, Redondo has transitioned into a new career as a successful painter and sculptor. He has been making art since he was quite young. Over time, the process has become a tool of communication, and brought with it growth in himself, in his faith in a higher power, and in his place in the world.
