 <\/p>\n

What has been your favorite part about Sem so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite part about Sem so far is the past tennis season. It helped me find confidence in the way I play by not giving up and putting in 100% effort. It also opened up many new friendships and helped me realize what I have to do this year to prepare for next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you were an animal, which one would you be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would be a lion because they are strong, confident, and quietly beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s one thing you want people to know about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing I want people to know about myself is that I am a huge foodie. I love to travel to new places and try new food.<\/span><\/p>\n

What song is your life anthem?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My life anthem would definitely be Lose Yourself by Eminem. This song taught me that you only have one chance to perform and show your full potential. I use this song to prepare for my important tennis matches. I use it to show myself that this is the time I leave it all out on the court and not look back.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is your favorite part about tennis?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite thing about tennis is that you will always learn and improve from your matches. Tennis is such a mental sport that no matter who you are playing, whether it be someone much better than you or someone worse than you, you still will learn from that match and continue to grow from it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What was your first reaction when you found out you were the Time’s Leader’s Player of the Year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first reaction when I heard I was Player of the Year was just pure shock. I was so beyond surprised and grateful for the opportunities I had this season to accomplish this title.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
