FIRST TENNIS CLUB: Panania tennis club

FAVORITE CITY? WHY?: My favourite city would have to be Paris. All of the streets are filled with atmosphere that you would never be able to find anywhere else. There is so much to see and do in Paris that there is never a minute that you feel bored.

FAVORITE HOBBIES: I love horse riding!

FAVORITE FOOD:  It would have to be lasagna or spaghetti bolognese.

FAVORITE PLAYER: Roger Federer because he is so graceful when he plays and he is humble on and off the court.

FAVORITE SHOT: My favorite shot would have to be my backhand down the line.

FUNNIEST MOMENT PLAYING: The funniest moment for me whilst I was playing was at the Junior Federation Cup qualifying in Kuching, Malaysia. I was on for my singles and it was very close, if I won my match we would qualify and be going to Mexico. I had lost the first set and I was up 40-0 5-2 in the second set. As I was returning her serve, I think my feet moved too fast for my shoes and one foot came out of the shoe. I didn't know what to do thinking that we would replay the point or I would lose it, I looked at the umpire and he looked just as confused as me so I kept playing the point with one shoe on. Trying to run with one shoe on after a ball is not so easy! I lost the point but everybody around was laughing and I had to join in too. Thankfully I won the match in the end.

GOAL FOR 2011: To increase my Junior ITF ranking to inside the top 100 (I'm currently 119) and to increase my WTA ranking.

CAREER GOALS: To make top ten in the world!
