What’s your favorite thing about Georgia Tech tennis?
The group of guys we’ve had all four years have been extremely close, so the environment has been amazing.
Why should someone come to Georgia Tech matches?
College tennis matches are some of the funnest events to attend in college sports in my opinion, so even without much knowledge about the sport, it’s very entertaining.
What are you looking forward to most this season?
Being my last season, I’m looking forward to fighting each and every match this season for my team and hopefully having the best season Georgia Tech tennis has ever had.
