What can you bring back to Alabama that you learned from playing professionally in Egypt?
"Definitely the spirit that I see around here the tour. It's great to see everyone professionally focused and trying their best to reach their goals."
What is the biggest difference between playing professionally in Egypt and playing SEC college tennis?

"I miss the football season the most."
