During a business trip to Belgium on Elite round matches U-19 years, I noticed that among the Georgian fans of our team was one handsome boy. He was all covered with flags of Georgia and was chanting loudly enough "Sakartvelo". Devastated, with him and his father, I learned that this kid David Solomonia is a successful tennis player and winner of several children's tournament in Belgium. But Dato, his father David had shown a maximum of modesty and does not really like to talk about the successes in tennis, saying "Dato has not done anything special in tennis is to write about it." While in Belgium, I enquired among colleagues and the local sports media and by finding a mention about the success of Dato, decided to revisit the topic. With the fifth times I managed to convince the boy to tell parents about the way tennis and Dato ' about how he got into the field of view of the Belgian experts.

In Brussels he started Rugby and swimming , tennis. He heard from a lot of parents on the Georgian tennis-veterans and active wizards, and this has played a significant role in his passion for tennis.

In May 2013, David the first time got a chance to visit Paris at the opening of the Rolland Garros Grand Slam tournament. This dream, he lived for a year. David's Club gave him that opportunity. During his stay at Roland Garros with an opportunity to meet with Dato ' Anna Tatishvili. It was so nice that we were among the first Georgian her saying "gamarjoba Anna," and then she talked warmly of Dato '. It was nice to chat with a young Georgian tennis player. Anna is a very affable, attentive girl, she asked Dato, where and how he deals with. Anna on a memory exhibition match with Dato ' David's mother told us and referred to this and a few other interesting pictures. In particular, this photo with a rising star of Belgian Dato tennis David Goffin.
