The essay prompt asked writers to “Who is your GOAT?” (Greatest of All Time). This event highlighted the next generation of tennis enthusiasts and their passion for the sport.

While we were busy cheering on our favorite pros, high school tennis players across Ohio were making waves of their own. Players like Ivy Berlin and Makenzie Fearon from Ohio Tennis Zone are showing great promise in their respective districts. These young athletes are definitely ones to watch as they continue their journey in tennis.
