Margaret Court Academy’s Director Voices Support for Prabowo
Jakarta. Philip Shanahan, the director of the Margaret Court Tennis Academy in Australia, has expressed his support for Prabowo Subianto's presidential bid in a video released by Prabowo and Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s campaign team.
In the video, filmed near the Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne Park, the venue for Sunday’s Australian Open men’s singles final, Philip Shanahan stands alongside a Prabowo supporter and says, “It's great to be with this incredible lady from Indonesia -- Margaret Court Tennis Academy here in Australia supports Prabowo and Gibran at the next election.”
Shanahan is the nephew of tennis legend Margaret Court, the winner of 62 Grand Slam titles.
The academy was founded to honor her and give “future generations of players an inspirational role model to aspire to”, according to Shanahan’s statement on the academy’s website.
