And it was where I learned how to play tennis and eventually became captain of the tennis team at the school and was on the Junior Davis Cup in New York City.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Later, I discovered there was a lot of work to being good in tennis.
I was a keen sportsman, and became school captain in soccer and cricket.
As a kid, I wanted to be a pro tennis player. I was pretty good; at the tennis academies I attended, I always 'played up' against older age groups.
I knew I was the second-best tennis player in the state of Florida and No. 8 in the United States of America when I was 12 years old and I couldn't tell you what I was in baseball, but I liked my chances in tennis of getting a scholarship to college.
Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.
Sports were a big part of my life. I was the captain of the basketball team in high school, and captain of the basketball team at Princeton.
I played sports in high school and in college.
When I was eight and a half, my parents moved to a part of Queens where there was a club nearby. We joined, and if you believe in someone up above, I think I was meant to play tennis.
I began playing in the Pacific Coast Indoor Tennis Championships.
It was so inspiring for me to watch tennis growing up. I thought I was really good playing, until my brother told me I wasn't!
