Interview
What makes you different?
I stand out for my determination, resilience, and ability to balance academics and sports over many years. Growing up, I developed a strong work ethic that drives me to excel both on and off the court. My playing style is also unique: I don’t rely solely on power but rather on my physical abilities and a strategic approach. I enjoy surprising my opponents with cross-court shots, well-timed net advances, and an intelligent, thoughtful game.
Why do you want to compete in college?
Competing in College is a unique opportunity to continue combining my passion for tennis and my studies. I love the idea of transforming an individual sport like tennis into a collective adventure. Since I started playing, I have always enjoyed team play, especially in doubles, and representing a university would be an immense source of pride and an additional motivation to push myself further. University tennis offers the perfect setting to take on new challenges and grow as an athlete, student, and individual.
