Maksims Kazancevs ‘25 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I am extremely motivated and hardworking tennis player from Latvia looking to continue my education and tennis career in the U.S.A. from Fall 2025. 

It has always been my dream to come to America ever since I participated in the Orange Ball tournament in Florida and also played a few warm-up tournaments ahead of that. 

I have a very strong National record in Latvia winning national championships and the equivalent of end of year Masters tournaments at various age:

Looking to qualify for a scholarship based on my academics and tennis achievements.

I am sure I will be an asset to any tennis squad both for tournaments and training.

Please contact me for any questions.
