Thirteen-year-old Wheelchair player Spencer Davis left his mark earning a permanent place on the JTCC Walk of Fame after securing a prestigious United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Gold Ball in the Coed C singles bracket of the L1 Cajun Classic in Baton Rouge, LA in March.
JTCC’s 25th Anniversary Gala honoring alumnus Frances Tiafoe and University of Maryland president Darryll Pines raised more than $580,000 for the JTCC Community Champs (formerly GEICO Game On!) program providing access to tennis to youth in underserved communities in Washington, DC and Prince George’s County.
In August, JTCC hosted the inaugural Wheelchair Championships, an event that featured three tournaments in one, ranging from professionals on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) circuit to amateurs and juniors in USTA events all competing in respective brackets. More than 50 players from around the world participated in the four-day event.
JTCC High Performance player Reiley Rhodes made headlines in November by securing her first three career ITF Junior titles in two weeks in Peru. Rhodes cruised to a J60 singles and doubles title before taking her game to the next level claiming a J100 singles championship the following week.
In the past two months, three alumni – Ayana Akli, Andrew Fenty, and William Woodall, each triumphed at the highest level, winning their first professional doubles tournaments as all three embark on pro careers.
Stay tuned for more inspiring memories and experiences for the JTCC community in 2025!
