Additional Information
In 2020, I suffered an automobile accident which was meant to be career ending, this particular incident showed me my strength, determination and passion to be able to get on court and not miss a single match. Not only this, it confirmed the honor it is to play the sport you love and compete at the collegiate level. It was an eyeopening experience which has motivated me to pass on my passion for the sport to other players and also helped me find tactics to tackle with the struggles on and off a tennis court.
