Congratulations Nilay!

One of our students, Nilay Dixit won the Premier Tennis Satellite USTA GA Level 5 Tournament, held at Kenworth Tennis Center in Acworth, GA this past weekend.  This tournament is what's known as a USTA Sanctioned tournament.  They happen every weekend throughout the year with thousands of players all over the nation competing for USTA (United States Tennis Association) ranking points.  With this tournament win, Nilay also brought his Georgia 14u Boys ranking up to an all-time high of #191 (that's out of 607 boys in Georgia with a 14u ranking).  Way to go Nilay!
