Mariana França

I started playing tennis at 4 years old because my parents signed me up and I loved it from the start. I consider myself a good player because I have fair play, I work hard, and I respect referees and opponents. To my idol, Naomi Osaka, I would say she is amazing and ask to hit some balls with her. One day I would like to play in a Grand Slam against Naomi. My funniest moment at Vanguard Stars was playing mini-tennis with my friends in Algarve. This tournament is special because I meet players from other countries and create lasting memories. My biggest dream is to play piano for a big audience, and my ideal world would be full of peace, love, and care for animals.
