Serena Williams
Why?
Her immense physical and mental strength is something I try and model. Serena is not only arguably the best female tennis player ever, but she also pursues her other interests – fashion, TV and charity. I identify with her ambition.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Best sporting achievement:
Being chosen to represent Louisiana in the Southern Cup and winning the state title this year for my school. Those were my two best.
Credentials:
Vandebilt Catholic senior Mitchell Thomas is one heck of a tennis player. He’s got the rings to prove it. He’s been a member of the Terriers’ program for the past three seasons, helping lead the team to the LHSAA State Championship in each season. This year, Thomas also won an individual title in the men’s singles division. But for all the success that Thomas has on the court, he’s equally good off it, owning a 4.0 GPA. The Terriers’ standout said he aims to play college tennis post-grad.
