There is no surprise that tennis has been a part of Trevor Foshey's life since he was 10 years old. Trevor graduated from Mississippi State in 2019 and continued to get better throughout his college career. In fact, he was named the ITA Southern Region Most Improved Senior in 2019. Trevor set himself up for a stellar senior year by ending his junior season as the SEC Tournament MVP in 2018 and made the SEC All-Tournament Team as well. Following his time at Mississippi State, Trevor became the assistant men's tennis coach for Liberty University who is ranked top 50 in the country. He is in his second season there due to Covid cutting his first year of college coaching short and plans to be there for years to come.

Michael Woodson is now in his 5th year at Baylor. Who would have guessed that love for tennis at a social level would develop into a love for coaching.

Gaby Dabrowski was born in Canada and has spent much of her life training at Saddlebrook. Currently residing in Florida, Gaby can be found there when not traveling on tour. Being ranked well in ITF Juniors she decided to turn pro right away instead of going the college tennis route. She saw success in singles and doubles having a career-high singles ranking of 164 and doubles ranking of 7. This two-time Grand Slam Mixed Doubles Champion is currently ranked 10 in the world and continues to train hard toward her goals. During this interview, I could tell Gaby was passionate about her career and cares about the sport of tennis and the sustainability of our planet.

For my 25th interview, I had the opportunity to talk with University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Senior Ben Sigouin. Ben started playing tennis at a young age growing up in Canada. He had quite a successful junior tennis career and got to team up with some current ATP stars. Like many seniors this year, he will be deciding between playing a 5th year of college tennis next year or going on tour. The UNC star said that he is waiting for the right time to go pro. UNC won the National Indoor tournament this fall and has their eyes set on winning the NCAA tournament this spring. You can learn more about life as a junior ITF, college, and professional player and the challenges and memorable moments that you can experience.

In this week's Tennis Spotlight I had the opportunity to talk to Taylor Ng. Taylor graduated from Dartmouth in 2017 and holds the record for the most career singles and doubles wins. Taylor worked in finance in New York City for 2 years after college and loved it, but when going to watch Dartmouth play one day she realized how much she missed the sport. In 2019, Taylor decided to start training again and try and make it on tour. Unfortunately soon after Covid came about and forced her to be unable to compete. Currently ranked 848 on the WTA Tour she plans to start playing ITF tournaments again this summer. She has continued to train and plays UTR Pro events here in the U.S and has been enjoying the competition. Throughout this interview, Taylor and I talked about her junior career, college career, life after college, how a job in New York City prepared her for the tour, how tennis has shaped her, and some advice for junior tennis players.

Vania King has had a memorable career, to say the least. She has won two grand slam doubles titles ranked as high as #3 in the world in doubles and #50 in singles. However, if you read between the lines, her success has not come easily. Vania has faced many challenges throughout her career, including a decided fate, late love for the sport, serious injuries, and tough comebacks. Despite those challenges, she is thankful for what the sport has given her. Now age 31, Vania will be retiring after playing Miami and Charleston this year after a long career. Off the court, you can find Vania working for the WTA as the Community Development Ambassador and with her nonprofit, Serving Up Hope. In this interview with Vania, we talked about her junior career, challenges on tour, memorable moments, injury prevention, charitable passions, the mark she wishes to leave on the sport, and how the sport has shaped her.
