Interview

What makes you different ?

I am different and unique thanks to my ability to mix easily with others everywhere. I am a hard worker and always give 100% when I start something. I like to be part of a team and I think I can be very helpful to my team because I will always support and motivate each person the right way.

Why do you want to compete in college ?

It is very important for me to keep a good balance between studies and sport. I want to reach my best tennis level, but also to get a good degree to develop a fulfilling career later in my life. I am convinced that the U.S college system will be the best to give me the chance to realize both of these aspirations at the highest level! This balance I have built over many years and I will do everything to continue along this lines. I am open minded and I value the meritocratic approach. I believe my mentality will be a good fit with the college philosophy. I know I can perform well in this type of environment.

Tennis and Life goals ?

Combine high level tennis and great studies in the best possible university in the U.S, in order to achieve the highest level.

I am ready to bring your team to the next level ! I am very coachable and the perfect teammate !
