I have been playing tennis for 4 years and have improved at a rapid pace. I have played in a few USTA tournaments in the past year, but intend to play in at least 5 this upcoming summer. My Goals My goal is to become the number 1 ranked player in Illinois. I would also like to become pro, and to become pro I believe that I would need to at least become the number 1 ranked player in Illinois. I would also like to go to college later on in life, I would like to pursue my other dream as well and become a pilot, but first I would like to play tennis as long as my career takes me. I will train as hard as I can for my entire career. One thing all of my coaches like about me is my work ethic. I believe in trying 110 percent all the time, even in practice. My Highlights I was playing with my schools team and was playing a varsity player, I lost the first set, but them came back and won the next to sets, including a third set tie break. At conference I played a 2 hour match which I was able to win in straight sets. I won my first USTA match, it lasted 3 sets, over 2 hours, I lost the first set 3-6 came back to win the second and third set 6-4, 6-1.   More Photos...
