Jordan Knowles '20 Recruiting Profile

Well In the short term, I want to continue to improve my current play against 2 and 3 star recruits.   In the Long range, I would love to play college tennis, continuing to improve my game, have an exciting experience and be part of a great college team!  I am really getting excited about touring colleges both in the south and northeast!

NYS section 2-sectionals-  We made it to the quarter finals and had our doubles match today.  First time playing doubles in sectionals instead of singles.  Outside match with 50 degrees and very windy! Challenging.  We played well over all but lost 2-6 3-6 to a very experienced doubles team.  We made a good showing!   A sentimental day since as it happens it was my last High School match!

I’m looking forward to what comes next in tennis and in school.

Fall 2019-  I had a good high school season with 7-1 record and came in third in our section for the HS season stats.  Now on to the sectionals- I’m excited that I will be playing doubles in the sectionals this year- this will be a first for me in the sectionals.   I loved playing mixed doubles in JTT and have always liked doubles play, so this year should be fun!  Stay tuned!

Played an L1A this weekend May 2019 against a couple of two stars. The first withdrew for injury and I was playing well in second set and in the semi- I played a strong player with a good record. I played well against her but lost. The score does not fully reflect the level of play. I was able to put together some new video which I have posted.  I am still working on form and fitness with my coach!

Tough competition from NJ at Ithaca this past weekend!  Will be playing again over the Fourth of July weekend! I will be getting my SAT results soon and with my high honors this year and a better super score I hope to be able focus in on some of the schools and respond to all the people who have been emailing with interest.  It is really exciting but also overwhelming!  Enjoy your summer.

Another tough L1 in the heat! Lost but played competitively.  Some really good serves and shots. All and all the score doesn’t always reflect the level of play and I’m making strides with these 2 stars.
