What makes you different?

When playing tennis, what makes me different is that I never give up I always give my best. When I'm plauing a match, I think that running to every ball and being consistent is what sets me apart from others. My motto during a match is always bringing one ball more, that is, at each point, taking one more ball in my oponent side, even though the point seems lost.
Training and laying tennis make me very happy. I love shouting in games, I think that shouting after winning a point makes the point have more personal value, It also shows that you are on the field. On the other hand, I consider myself a very responsible athlete inside and outside the field, such as what I eat, how many hours I sleep and specially when it commes to studying.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I want to compete at a college level because I feel that it would help me a lot to grow as a person and at a tennis player. Moreover, after I get my degree I want to dedicatr myself to playing professional tennis but with the security of having a backup plan.

College Goals?

I am a person who loves to be informed about everyting. My goals for college are to be able to learn and study as much as possible and on all possible subjects. However, I want to start learning about marketing and progamming, which are the topics that have attracted the most attention in recent years. Obiously I want to achieve these goals while plauing tennis and representing the university I got to.

Anything else we should know?

I have always wanted to go to university to study and get my career, but what I want the most is to play tennis for as long as posible. The plan for my future is to be a professional tennis player but with a professional career behind it.
