Mariana Marques

I started playing tennis at 4 years old. I started playing tennis because my dad played and I wanted to have some activity. My club is Clube de Ténis do Estoril. I consider myself a good player because I give my best and follow all the rules of the game. My biggest goal in tennis is to become a professional player. My favorite tennis player is Nick Kyrgios. I would like to learn some tricks and shots from my favorite player. What I like most about my favorite player are the special shots he makes. One of the most fun moments during a Vanguard Stars 2024 stage was reuniting with Spanish opponents and seeing that, besides competition, we like each other. I think through the Vanguard Stars circuit I improved my preparation for short and decisive moments. I participated in Madrid, Lisbon, and Porto. The stage I liked most was Porto. What I like most about the Vanguard Stars circuit is the opponents who become friends. What I like to do in my free time is to be with friends, my family, and my dog. My ideal world would be a fair and happy world. The people who help me the most are my parents and friends.
