With players like Ben Shelton, Coco Gauff, and Frances Tiafoe, tennis is more exciting than ever. A lot more Black players are showing up now than ever before. We all know that in games, there can only be one winner. These players have all been at the top at different times, even though there is a lot of ability. I thought it would be cool to talk about some up-and-coming Black tennis players. You might know some of them and not know others. But when it comes to their skills, they all deserve their flowers. Before you go, check them out.
Michael Moh
Watch out for Michael Mmoh. He was born in Saudi Arabia and is now an American tennis player. The 25-year-old has been swimming for nine years. His first ITF Futures Title was when he was 16 years old. He has since won four more. He most recently played well at the U.S. Open in New York City this past summer.
By Sasha Vickery
At this point, Sacha Vickery is a young master. The 27-year-old has been a pro since 2011 and has been ranked as high as 73rd in the world. On the ITF tour, she has won three titles as well.
Taylor Townsend
She is placed as high as No. 61 in the world by the WTA. But in doubles, she’s been as high as No. 5 in the world! After coming in fourth at the U.S. Open, the man from Chicago is definitely next. Watch out for her rise.
John Christopher Eubanks
Chris Eubanks has been a professional for six years and was an All-American twice. He was also named ACC Player of the Year twice. As of July, Eubanks was ranked No. 29 in the world. Eubanks is about to hit his prime, so look for him to make a big splash in the coming seasons.
