Advice to underclassmen: My advice to the underclassmen would be to never give up. No matter how down you think you are or how impossible you think coming back might be, you always have the ability to overcome any challenge. Play every point to the best of your ability, work hard and enjoy every second you can while on a tennis court.

How have your been making the best of being quarantined?: To keep myself occupied, I have been babysitting my baby cousin, doing schoolwork, reading a lot of books and doing puzzles.
