Siddharth Desai '22 Recruiting Profile

Tennis has been the dominant sport I have played for ten years; I’m passionate and dedicated to tennis, both on and off the court, whether I’m practicing for hours, giving lessons to beginner players, building my racket stringing business, or reading about and watching the greats such as Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Richard Krajicek, et al.

I have an aggressive serve and volley game where I finish points at the net. At the baseline mix the pace with slicing and one-handed backhand, while using the forehand to attack. Primarily play singles but also love doubles and have had a high level success in both.

Junior at Lick-Wilmerding High School in San Francisco, California (Ranked #64 Nationally). Am able to balance a rigorous academic course load (3.6 GPA), while playing tennis daily and weekend tournaments (pre-pandemic I was an 8 UTR,). My goal is to play NCAA tennis in college.
