Fundraising Goals!
The annual budget to reach my tennis goals for the next 2 years is $135,000+/year all-in. I’m looking to raise $75,000/year to get the best team and schedule to reach my goal: Turning pro by age 17.
I’ll be raising the funds through sponsors and benefactors by selling:
Sponsorship packages (USTA Tour + Jr. ITF World Tennis Tour),
Collectibles (signed balls + NFT trading cards)
These funds will be applied toward my 2023 budget and cover for tennis & fitness training, equipment, and travels to tournaments. (see budget breakdown further below).
About me!
“Bitachon”, a virtue from the Talmud, is what best defines who I am. My level of dedication 24/7 and absolute belief that I’ll become a world-class player is what will set me apart.
U14 UTR Global Ranking (April 2023): #149 World; #35 USA; #5 France; #2 Italy
I’m very athletic, smart on the court, and have a very clean technic.
I love tennis, tennis is my oxygen. Becoming a professional tennis player is my goal! I give everything on the court and at the gym every day to make it happen. I’m surrounded by the best possible professionals and have a very strong support from my parents.
Self-disciplined, highly committed, I have good grades, eat very healthy, sleep early, and train 18-20 hours of training per week, plus the competitions.
My daily routine is very professional with visualization, meditation, journaling, extensive warm up and cool down sessions.
2021: Started major US-based regional, national, and International tournaments like Bobby Curtis State Championship (Back-draw winner), the Jr Orange Bowl, IMG’s Eddie Herr (Round of 16), and more.
2022: First TEAM USA training camp (See Report), represented TEAM FLORIDA in October. Participated in my first Jr World Tennis Tour event (ITF J30) in November 2022 and reached the semi-finals in singles & doubles.
2023: My game became more powerful, allowing me to play great matches against top juniors in the world. Reached finals of U14 & U16 regional/national USTA tournaments. Received Wild Card for my first J100 in Miami.

Goals for 2023 & Beyond
In January 2021, one of my objectives was to reach the main draw of major International tournaments like Eddie Herr (IMG Academy) and the Jr. Orange Bowl (Miami). I did that! I had a great experience, and a very good Eddie Herr tournament reaching the last 16. I also won the G12 Nationals back-draw finals in October (L2), and won my first G16 tournament (L6) in Miami.
In September 2021, I started to be home-schooled to spend more time training. I joined the Saviano High Performance Tennis Academy full-time. From practicing 8 hours/week, I’m now training 16-20 hours/week + 3-5 hours of fitness. This has tremendously contributed to change my game, but it also increased my annual budget as as result. More on that below!
2021 in Review
I started the year with a 3.5 months injury (January - April). It was a difficult time personally, but I came back mentally stronger, more determined and focused than ever! I was just so grateful for every seconds on the court. It changed my mindset and my game for the better!
In May 2022, I was invited to my very first TEAM USA training camp. That was a very special experience!
I reached the G14 Nationals (L2) Back-draw finals in July, Won a G14 Regional L4 in New Jersey in late August, and a G14 Nationals “Dominant Duo” (L3) in St-Louis in September.
In October, I represented Team Florida;
In November, I participated to my first Junior World Tennis Tour event (ITF J5) in Jamaica and reached the semi-finals in both singles & doubles.
2022 in Review
SHORT TERM (2023):
Continue growing my game and develop a high-percentage agressive style to supplement my defensive skills. I want to become more of a net player.
Qualify for the Girls U-14 main draws of Eddie Herr and Jr. Orange Bowl, and Compete in more Jr. ITF tournaments to be in the top 1000 by the end of the year.
I want to represent Florida in the 2023 Maccabi Games in Fort Lauderdale.
LONG TERM:
Be in the US top 25 U-16 girls by the time I turn 15,
Play more ITF Junior World Tennis Tour tournaments,
Start playing WTA Futures by 2024, and Junior Grand Slams by 2025.
Budget & Support: $75,000+/year!
The annual budget to reach my goals for the next 2 years is around $135,000/year all-in. I know, it's crazy! I already have $60,000/year committed, I’m looking for $75,000/year.
Here is a breakdown:
1 - Tennis + Fitness: $81,480/year ($6,790/month): Saviano Academy, Saviano’s lessons, hitting, fitness, mental coach.
2 - Tournaments & Travels: $38,000/year ($3,150/month): Flights, hotels, car rentals, tournament fees.
3 - Equipment: $9,100/year ($760/month): Strings, Shoes, clothes, rackets, grips…
4 - Medical: $4,800/year ($400/month): Chiropractor, physio…(excludes MRI, X-rays…)
I’m looking for $75,000+ in the form of cash or miles (Bonvoy points, Amex points, Airline miles and vouchers).
A detailed breakdown can be provided upon request. All donations will directly help me reach my goals but you will also take part in my journey of becoming a world class player one day! If you know me, you know that I'll work harder than everyone to make it happen! I work hard every day to become special, not just very good!

Results & Achievements
Starting in 2021, I was lucky to play at the highest level of competition in the US (L1 and L2 nationals), as well as in some of the most prestigious international competitions in the world by qualifying directly to the Main Draws of IMG Eddie Herr, and the Jr. Orange Bowl! And in late 2022, I started competing in the Jr. ITF World Tennis Tour events.
These tournaments have taught me so much about myself, such as my strengths and weaknesses, and how hard I should push myself physically and mentally to progress. I learned how to deal with losing and how this was the necessary path to winning.
My father always tells me that as long as I give my best, have fun, learn from it, and work hard, the outcome doesn't really matter in the big picture. Sometimes a strong loss against a good player is much more valuable than a win against a not so good player.

Rankings, WTN, and UTR are not the end game right now, but are a good way to keep track of progress. UTR is a great indicator of a player’s level, unlike USTA rankings which are really odd, at least when you are based in Florida!
Equipment & Outfits
Racket: I love my Wilson Clash 100L, especially the models designed by Britto! The clash is very flexible and easy on my arm.
Strings: I use X-One Bi-Phase, a multi-filament from Technifibre. They are the best to protect the arm and for the feel. Only problem, I pop one string per day… Thankfully, I’m part of the Technifibre Select program!
Outfits: I like to mix up gears from the following brands:
Shoes: I only wear Babolat Propulse Blast All Court.
Tops: I usually wear items from my own sportswear clothing line “Beloot” because they are fun and colorful.
Skirts: I like Nike’s, as well as Lucky in Love, and Lacoste products!
Socks: Technifibre
Hats: Nike
Recovery:
Normatec legs and arms compression sleeves
Bob & Brad massage gun! I love it and always have it with me along with my foam roll!
MY WINNING TEAM: TENNIS, FITNESS, MENTAL, MEDICAL!
