What makes you different?

- I am a confident strategic thinker
- Being South African, I bring a measure of diversity.
- I feel that my approach to tennis and my style is quite unique compared to my peers.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I love tennis and especially participating on a team. I would love to experience a completely different culture and way of life, especially in a first world country with so many colleges to consider.

College Goals?

Sport wise, I want to surround myself with better players than me, because their level will raise mine. Being no.1 is not a priority for me if it will be at the expense of my academics. I want a good balance.

Academically speaking, I want to graduate with a degree.

Anything else we should know?

When I’m not playing tennis or doing school work I love to spend my time producing music, as I have such a passion for it. It relaxes me. I support the Lakers and Liverpool. I enjoy watching boxing, MMA and basketball.
