Hey, I’m Jacob! I’m 22 years old, and tennis has been a big part of my life since I was three, thanks to my grandfather. The first player I ever saw was Marcos Baghdatis, and I was inspired by Andy Roddick and his incredible serve. From then on, I was hooked. I played tennis at a state level throughout school, and while I’m no longer competing, my love for the sport hasn’t faded. These days, I focus on helping others improve their game and try and share tips and pointers using my experience from tennis in any way I can.

But tennis isn’t the only sport I’ve been involved in. I’ve played NPL soccer, represented NSW in athletics and cross-country, and have recently got into competitive darts and pickleball. When I’m not playing sports, I ironically find myself watching sports whether it’s the ATP tour, NBA, EPL, PDC Darts, NRL or F1.

Outside of sports, I love listening to music, especially my favourite band The Beatles. I love going on bush walks, discovering new restaurants, hanging out with friends or just relaxing with a good movie. I’m currently in my final year of studying Occupational Therapy, and my dream is to one day run my own business combining sports with Occupational Therapy. So iff you see me around, don’t hesitate to say hi!
