The Kruger sisters of South Africa are finding their way with tennis

After the death of their father Ruben Kruger—a South African rugby hero portrayed in the film InvictusZoe and Isabella are trying to chart their own sports course on the tennis court.

“Who’s Matt Damon?”

Ruben Kruger wasn’t joking. He was just indifferent to celebrity and pop culture, and he genuinely had no idea. And—no disrespect to Damon—Kruger had little interest in meeting movie stars that night in Johannesburg during October of 2008.

Damon had just finished shooting his starring role alongside Morgan Freeman in Invictus, a well-rendered film directed by Clint Eastwood, based on the excellent book Playing the Enemy.
