Why did you choose Alabama?
I was impressed with the academic support, athletic facilities, and campus; plus I love the fact that Bama is such a sports-minded school.
What is your favorite thing about Tuscaloosa so far?
Since I completed all of my high school requirements online, I really missed the social aspect that someone attending school would experience. I would definitely say being around and meeting new people has been the best thing so far.
What are your pre-match rituals?
It depends on the time of day, but I usually either take a short nap or listen to some upbeat music to get my energy level up.
What is something interesting about you that a lot of people may not know?
I had a pet python named Tango.
What are your interests/hobbies?
Politics, criminal psychology, drawing, camping and listening to music.
If your best friend described you in three words, what would they be?
Easygoing, humorous and genuine.
If someone played you in a movie, who would it be?
Amanda Seyfried.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Somewhere in the mountains; isolated and close to nature but at the same time not alienated from civilization.
What is the best moment of your tennis career thus far?
Winning the biggest tournament in Florida two years in a row after coming off a shoulder injury.
What do you want to do after college?
Ideally I'd like to try my hand at some low-level professional tournaments and work my way up the rankings, but once my tennis career is over I would love to become a special agent for either the FBI or CIA.
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
Jesus Christ.
What are your personal goals for the upcoming season?
Improve at every chance I get, give my best in each match, and come through in tough situations for the team.
If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?
Probably time travel because I think it'd be interesting to be able to experience different times in history and get a glimpse into the future. I'd also want to relive great moments or experiences in my own life.
