West Wake News

Cary tennis player Prahalad Vishwanath finished 5,392nd in October in the junior Boys’ 12 category of the United States Tennis Association.

By the end of the month they’d earned eight across singles and doubles tournaments.

Players earn points per round in tournaments, winning higher points the further into a tournament they advance.

Jarett Cascino of New York Tennis Magazine says tennis is one of the most competitive youth sports.

“There is always someone better than you on any given day, even if you are the number one player in the world!” he said.

Rankings are released weekly.
