For years, he played against ablebodied players by putting rubber on the stumps (残余部分) of his legs. Though he was a foot (30.48 cm) or two shorter than many of the players he played against, he won a number of matches. He became wellknown enough that he got to meet Rafael Nadal, his favorite player at the US Open in 2013. “The most important thing is that hes happy，”Nadal told reports about Stroud after that 15minute meeting. “Hes playing tennis . Thats a great example of being happy even if life doesnt give you everything.”Stroud started playing wheelchair tennis at 13 and now he is No 1 in the US.Earlier this summer, he played for the US in the worlds biggest junior wheelchair team tennis event the World Team Cup. He played six matches and won five of them as the US won the cup for the first time since 2000.“He is a polite boy, but he will rip (撕扯) your heart out trying to beat you，”Jason Harnett, a United States Tennis Association coach, said of Stroud. “You see that attitude in a lot of the best players, whether they are ablebodied or disabled.”Teenage players can often get disappointed and angry. Racquets sometimes get thrown. Players shout at themselves after missed shots. Stroud never does that.“I just try to stay positive，” Stroud said. “After every point, I try to say Im going to win the next point, or the next game, or the next game, or the whole match.“Theres always room to be positive.
