From the courts of her family’s backyard in China to the halls of Yale University, Angela’s tennis journey is nothing short of inspiring. Born into a family where the love for tennis runs deep, Angela’s story is a testament to passion, dedication, and the unwavering support of loved ones.

At the young age of 8, Angela found herself drawn to the competitive nature of tennis, inspired by her sister, who was already immersed in the sport. Little did she know, this was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would shape her future in ways she could have never imagined.

Fast forward to her senior year at North Allegheny High School, Angela stands ranked #1 in the state of Pennsylvania and #5 nationally in her grade. As she reminisces about her journey, Angela fondly recalls the countless hours spent training on the courts here at Oxford Athletic Club. For Angela and her family, Oxford isn’t just a facility; it’s a second home.

When asked about her advice for aspiring tennis players, Angela’s wisdom shines through. “Work hard, be disciplined, enjoy it, surround yourself with people who lift you up, and build relationships,” she said with a smile.

With plans to major in economics or pre-law at Yale, Angela is ready to tackle whatever challenges come her way, both on and off the court. And as she starts this new chapter of her life, Angela is quick to express her gratitude to her parents, sister, coaches, and the Oxford Athletic Club for their unwavering support and guidance.

When it came to choosing a team and a college, Angela said of Yale, “I knew I wanted something that would academically challenge me and have a good tennis team. When I met with the Yale coaches, I felt like their program had the perfect combination of both.” While visiting, she fell in love with their campus and felt welcomed with open arms.

Beyond tennis, Angela’s interests are quite diverse from golfing to snowboarding, baking to simply being outdoors and staying active. And while her sister may always have the upper hand on the tennis court, Angela takes it all in stride, knowing that the bond they share goes far beyond a tennis match.

Angela’s story is one that inspires us all to dream big, work hard, and never give up on our passions. Visit Oxford Athletic Club’s YouTube to watch the full video of her journey. We hope that you’ll be just as inspired by her as we are!
