So who are we?
"Hello my name is Amore Castelyn and I study at the University of Essex. Last year I competed in the 3rd edition of the tournament which was held in Dubna (Just outside of Moscow) and came 2nd. I hope this year to improve, but also to experience this year's event at an even bigger venue in Moscow. As a sports fanatic, I love new experiences and I've been told by my friends that I'm very motivated about sport. I can't wait for the trip to Moscow and representing the University of Essex again. I see this trip as a great opportunity and start my tennis career that I hope one day will be a reality. I cannot wait to interact with the other players (Hopefully some familiar faces from last year's tournament) and gain more experience of having a ball boy/girl and an umpire on the court. When it comes to tennis, I have a great passion for the sport and see myself as a fun and an enthusiastic. This trip is going to be one amazing experience where we can make new friends and memories with the team and just overall have a great tournament."
"Hello! My name is Zayn and I’m currently on a placement year in London. This past year, I’ve dedicated a lot of time to tennis, taking on the roles of Vice President and Men’s captain (2nds)- it was a hugely successful year, where tennis won ‘club of the year’ at the University. To have the opportunity to represent my university in an international tennis tournament is a great honour, and the chance to visit Moscow is something I’m really looking forward to! The PIUTT is a very prestigious event, bringing universities from around the world together to compete with an emphasis on fair-play and universal friendship. I’m excited to further my tennis experience by competing and building relationships with players from many different countries in a great event, and hopefully I don’t come last!"
