How old you were when you started to take tennis seriously, what or who inspired or motivated you to do so?
I have taken tennis seriously for the majority of my life, but I think that I really saw my potential in U12 when I had a good run at nationals getting top 8. That was my realization that I could do something with tennis.
What was your biggest challenge in obtaining your tennis goals?
I had a rough time from ages 13-16, a lot of confidence issues on the court, didnāt believe in myself & wanted to quit. But with time those feelings faded and I was able to reach the goals I put out for myself.
