ABOUT

UTR: 5.35


OVERALL ABILITY ON THE COURT:

I consider myself an all-court baseliner who is comfortable rallying from the back while also being able to move forward and finish points when the opportunity arises. My forehand is my strongest shot, which I use to dictate rallies and control the game's pace. Consistent movement, footwork, and endurance allow me to cover the court effectively and stay competitive in long exchanges. Although I have been developing my tennis for a relatively short time, I have made significant progress in improving my overall game. I am a disciplined and focused athlete who remains composed under pressure, adapts well to different opponents, and is committed to continuous improvement, both technically and mentally, to keep raising my performance level.

STRENGTHS ON THE COURT:

- Strong forehand used to control and dictate rallies
- Solid baseline consistency with the ability to switch to offense
- Quick footwork and efficient movement across the court
- Strong competitive spirit and mental resilience under pressure
- Rapid improvement in a short development period, showing high potential
- Positive communicator who motivates doubles partners and contributes to team success

HOBBIES AND PERSONAL INTEREST

I am a person who enjoys learning and exploring new things. I have a passion for languages: I speak Spanish and English fluently, hold a B1 level in French, and I hope to learn German in the future. Music is another interest of mine — I play the piano during my free time and studied at a music academy for four years. I also enjoy reading whenever I can, as well as staying active through exercise. Before I dedicated myself entirely to tennis, I used to go running with my mother in the mornings and biking with my father on Sundays, which helped me build discipline and endurance.

In addition to sports, I enjoy exploring various hobbies, such as watching educational and entertaining fact videos, learning programming, and spending time at the gym. I also enjoy watching movies, especially superhero films, with a special preference for the DC universe.

DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A PERSON

I am a calm person, and I can be very friendly and extroverted. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and I am always there to support them whenever I can, even if we don’t talk often. Supporting others and being reliable are things I value.  When it comes to challenges, I know how to focus by removing distractions and committing fully to what I am doing. I constantly seek to improve myself in every aspect, while also accepting that perfection is not possible. I consider myself disciplined, resilient, and willing to give my best effort in every situation.  I am also open-minded and optimistic, and I genuinely believe that with time and dedication, I can continue becoming a better person every day.
