I started playing tennis when I was 6 years old.Are there other tennis players in your family?

I don’t have one specific dream—my goal is to reach my potential and enjoy the journey.Who are your favorite male and female tennis players?
My favorite male player is Novak Djokovic. I admire the fact that, even at his age, he’s still playing at the highest level. I’m especially impressed by how he stays mentally strong in the most important points of a match—something I’m still learning to develop myself.My favorite female player is Beatriz Haddad Maia, because of her perseverance and the way she came back after surgery to reach her peak level. Her story motivates me to keep pushing through tough moments.
