And as he got to know the young woman who had helped him transfer, he found out she was something he wasn’t - a follower of Christ. “And since we beat that team, she spoke to the coach for me.” “I was just looking for any school to transfer to for tennis-related reasons,” he said. So, he had to have someone speak for him to the coaches. Ivanov had come to the United States from Russia on a tennis scholarship, and certain rules restricted him from being able to approach coaches on his own. That day, when UWA was playing Ivanov’s team from William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, he went up to her and asked if she would speak to the college on his behalf.
Her name was Dasha Popova, and she stood out from the other tennis players at the University of West Alabama (UWA) because she spoke with a Russian accent. When Anton Ivanov was a freshman in college, he heard a voice that changed his life.
