Tucson product Tanvi Narendran, a freshman on the Arizona women's tennis team, has lofty goals, including being an All-American; she has exceeded even her own expectations before.
Aidan Wohl Special to the Arizona Daily Star In the history of Arizona women’s tennis, Banni Redhair is the only Tucson native to win both a high school state championship and achieve All-American honors.
“So now I'm not even ranked, I'm a freshman and I'm saying my goal is to be an All-American. And because I've achieved goal like that before, I know it's possible. I'm gonna put everything I can towards that.”People are also reading… Narendran not only wants to chase championships and awards at her new school but also wants to inspire the next generation of Tucsonans who want to accomplish their own dreams.
“I wasn't one of the strongest tennis players as a freshman in high school,” Narendran said. “There were a lot of girls ahead of me, but I didn't give up, I kept trying my hardest, and in the end I was able to play here. Narendran didn’t stop at being comfortable, though. She decided to sprinkle the “student” into the “athlete” on the tennis court.
"He'd seen me play a lot, which made it easier for him to help me get better and easier for me to communicate with him.”
