Tuesdays with Junior | Monthly Recap | March 2026

March is when Junior’s story stopped being about adjustment and started being about competition.

On March 3, he picked up his first tournament win since arriving at the Academy, the kind of result that turns “I’m training hard” into “it’s working.” A week later, he was adjusting to clay courts for the first time all season, a genuinely different surface with a different rhythm and a different kind of patience required. By March 24, he’d picked up two more wins on that same clay.

“It gave me the opportunity to live my dreams, to become a professional tennis player. So I’m really grateful for this.”
