Junior Rithvik Muthyapu is a member of the Law boys tennis team. Social Media Editor Adrian Vitale interviewed Muthyapu about the season.

Adrian Vitale: How did the team do this year? 

Rithvik Muthyapu: The team did great this year. We had one of the best seasons and the second best record in school history thanks to all the hard work by every single player on the team.

AV: How did you do as a player this year? And how do you feel you could have improved? 

RM: This year I had a good season, bringing in crucial wins for the team. However I think tennis is a large tennis game, and me, along with many other players, sometimes get frustrated and end up playing worse. This is something I’m trying to work on.

AV: How did you get into tennis?

RM: I first got into tennis the summer after 8th grade. A couple of my friends were on the tennis team and I came to summer practices to join it too. I quickly realized that I found the sport very fun and enjoyed it, which caused me to commit to it for the rest of my high school career.

AV: If you weren’t playing tennis, what other sport would you play?

RM: In middle school, I ran the 400 in track so I think if I wasn’t doing tennis, I would probably join track. I choose tennis in the end because I enjoy it much more than I enjoy running though.

AV: How do you feel you and the team have improved from the start of the year?

RM: At the start of the season, the team had a lot of raw talent and potential. Through the season, I got to watch the team turn that talent into skill through real games and tons of practice. Over the year, the team has improved significantly in all areas, learning by playing players from other schools. Real game experience also helped us learn how to handle and perform under pressure.
