I started playing tennis at the age of 4 years old. Not only that I have always enjoyed working hard on the court, all of my family members were somehow connected to tennis. When I was smaller, I used to play either with my father, mother, or my uncle. They all have been great tennis players, and I think that is one of the reasons that pushed me forward in becoming a professional tennis player. I knew from the beginning that trying to build your career to the highest level is extremely difficult…

I grew up in single parent family home where depression existed, seeing my mom cry herself to sleep while taking sleeping pills is an immensely painful memory. At a very young age, I became my mother’s care taker so that made my pain and feelings unimportant. During this time was when I felt forsaken and so pressurized to grow up. I felt I was living a nightmare. Over the years I became an older sister and caretaker to three siblings. I started raising my first sibling at age nine. I invariably…

I bolted to the wing. Raj had just caught the rebound. I ran past Akhil towards the hoop, confident Raj knew what to do. He threw the ball over Ivan’s arms. I jumped up, caught the ball, spun, and followed through with the alley-oop. The score was 21-18. Raj and I beat Ivan and Akhil for the first time in a while. “We got this next week,” said Ivan exhausted. “Alright, good luck with that,” Raj responded. The four of us left the court, going wherever the day would lead us. I was led back…
