“Most tennis players, especially those in foreign countries, start play at a much younger age. That can be a huge advantage and also a disadvantage. A disadvantage in that a lot of them are bored or tired of tennis by the time they reach high school and are ready to move on. Not Eric. He's as enthusiastic a player as you'll find.”
“He did real well in baseball. During the summer of his freshman year, we went out and played some tennis together and he liked it well enough to try out for the team.”
