Alberto Peña

I started playing tennis at the age of 5 because my older brother played and one day I tried it — I really liked it and never stopped. I train at Club Nazaret. I consider myself a good player because I like winning, give my best, and never give up on a ball. My biggest goal is to become a professional. My favourite players are Carlos Alcaraz and Pablo Llamas — I’d love to play doubles with them. I especially like their drop shots and the power of their shots. A fun moment at the Vanguard Stars 2023 was in Vilamoura, where I met many Spanish and Portuguese friends. Through the circuit, I’ve learned to start matches more focused and to control my emotions when losing. I took part in Madrid, Lisbon, Porto, and Vilamoura, with Lisbon being my favourite stage. What I like most is the friends I make and the matches I play. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and friends or playing football. My ideal world would be free of wars and hunger. Those who help me most are my parents, my brother, and my coaches.
