The spotlight recently shined on JTCC’s community impact which was featured on All Access With Andy Garcia, hosted by the acclaimed actor and filmmaker best known for his iconic roles in The Godfather Part III and Ocean’s Eleven.

Garcia has built a distinguished career highlighting powerful stories and meaningful community impact. His documentary series spotlights organizations making a difference across the nation.

For alumnus Frances Tiafoe, last week marked a significant step toward excellence at the start of the 2026 season when he reached his third ATP 500-level final in Acapulco at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel.

The Hyattsville native won four matches en route to his 11th ATP Tour final which included two three-set victories along the way over countrymen Aleksandar Kovacevic and Brandon Nakashima.

JTCC alum Benjamin Kittay is quickly establishing himself on the worldwide professional doubles tour, highlighted by his recent appearance at the Delray Beach Open. The Potomac, MD native made the most of his main draw wild card, reaching the finals in his ATP 250 tournament debut.
“I am just happy to be playing,” Kittay said. “My team and I are trying to get better every week, and it’s been great.”

Sofia Johnson was all smiles February 22 when she secured her first professional title at the ITF W15 Palm Coast in Florida by knocking off #1 seed Thaisa Pedretti, 6-4, 6-2, in straight sets.

From JTCC courts to the world tour, Ryan Colby is making his presence felt.

The 22-year-old has carried his game seamlessly into the professional ranks since turning pro in November with a stellar 19-5 record in that span, most recently reaching the finals at the M15 Palm Coast in FL on February 8.

“Down Under” – literally “under” the bright lights of the Australian Open (AO) – JTCC Para Standing athlete Kemit-Amon Lewis showcased his skills on one of the sport’s most iconic stages.

Lewis competed in a Para Standing Tennis (PST) exhibition during the Grand Slam’s All Abilities Day at Margaret Court Arena on January 27. The appearance came on the heels of his participation in the Oceania Para Standing Tennis Championships several days earlier—to him, the gold standard for international PST competition.

One tournament can change everything on the professional tour, and for Hailey Baptiste, the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open marked that moment.
The JTCC alumna vaulted to a career-high ranking of world #39 on February 9 after her first run to the semifinals of a WTA 500 the week prior.
