From Encouragement to Passion: My Tennis Journey
In the past, I never imagined that tennis would become such an important part of my life. Initially, I had no particular interest in this sport. However, thanks to the encouragement and support from my parents, I decided to give tennis a try. To my surprise, it soon became my greatest passion.
At the beginning, I felt quite unfamiliar and not very enthusiastic about tennis. But with my parents’ enthusiastic support and the many hours of practice, I gradually began to appreciate the fun and joy that came with each match. Especially as I started to see progress and achieve significant results, my love for tennis grew stronger.
One of my proudest achievements is winning first place at the TFL Country Club Open 2022 and at the Racquet Club of Irvine USTA Junior Circuit on December 30, 2023. These successes are not only the result of my personal efforts but also thanks to the unwavering support and encouragement from my parents.
I also fondly remember the local tournaments, such as the Năng Khiếu Hè Quận Phú Nhuận 2023 on July 27, 2023, where I won first place, and the Quần Vợt Trẻ 2024 on March 9, 2024, where I secured second place. Each tournament provided an opportunity not only to learn and develop my skills but also to feel the support and love from my family.
One of my most memorable moments was winning third place in the U12 doubles at the Giải Thanh Thiếu Niên Thành Phố 2024. This achievement is a testament to my effort and team spirit and a significant part of my journey to becoming a dedicated tennis player.
Tennis is not just a favorite sport but an integral part of my life. Thanks to my parents’ encouragement, I have found passion and excitement in every match. Each time I step onto the court, I not only enjoy the game but also learn valuable lessons, maintaining balance and enthusiasm in my daily life.
