The boys tennis team is making their mark with every match they play and hoping to send a few players to state.
Many of the players have been playing tennis for a very long time.
“I have been playing tennis for 10 years and I love the game,” senior Arian Jazayeri said.
“I have been playing tennis ever since I was a kid and it is one of my favorite hobbies and helps relax me with stress,” senior Caden Hernandez said.
As seniors go off to college they leave some advice for the underclassmen.
“Some advice I have is to not get hung up on losses, learn from your mistakes and move on and don’t forget to have fun! My goal this year is to receive a medal,” Jazayeri said.
“My advice for underclassmen is to try really hard but to also have fun. My goal this season is to end strong and be a good role model for the underclassmen,” Hernandez said.
As the season is coming to an end they are reminiscing about some moments and memories they have made as a team.
“My favorite memory was practicing with my friends and just playing a game I love,” Hernandez said.
“My favorite memory is our first game of the year because it felt so exciting to start playing again,” senior Kieran Ortloff said.
The team captains this year are Hernandez and Ortloff. They are very important because they are leading by example both on and off the court and show important leadership.
“I am the captain this year because I have been playing for Greendale since middle school,” Hernandez said.”
“I have been playing tennis for as long as I can remember and I have been on varsity for 4 years,” Ortloff said.” “I became a captain because I am a senior. My goal is to have a strong rest of the season with my teammates and to have fun before I graduate.”
Their commitment to the sport and each other has not only led to great outcomes but has also strengthened their bond as a team. As they continue to train and compete, there’s no doubt that they’ll keep making Greendale proud. This season they are showing their skills and dedication on the court. As they face each match with confidence and a strong team spirit, the tennis team is proving that they are working as hard as they can.
