Tennis is one of the sports I enjoy playing. It helps me physically and also mentally as you have to concentrate alot. Because I love travelling I hope to develop into a good tennis player, as tennis being an international sport can enable me to do much travelling if successful. Another area where I can benefit from tennis is getting a scholarship. So as you can see there is a lot I am willing to achieve in tennis.

I like playing tennis because it gives me a chance to travel the world to play in tournaments and win more trophies, and meet other tennis trainers.

I play other sports like football and karate but my favorite sport is basketball. My favorite male tennis player is Andre Agassi and my favorite female players are Serena and Venus Williams.

For the past six years I have been to several tennis camps in many countries, St. Kitts, England, Barbados, and many others. I have big plans for my future, to make it as a basketball player or a rapper, and I am guiding my sister on her game. She has been playing for four years. If we make it as tennis pros we will play as doubles.


I would like to be a tennis player because it improves my concentration, because I would like to travel the world and because it is fun.

I would like to improve my serve.

My favorite tennis player is Pete Sampras.
