My Take
Honestly, every time I think about what it takes to be a professional tennis player in your early twenties, my respect for Shintaro Mochizuki goes up a notch. Born in Kawasaki in 2003, he's the kind of quietly determined kid who picked up a racket and just kept going, and he won the Wimbledon boys' singles title in 2019. At 175cm he's not going to overpower anyone with a 220km/h serve, so you have to figure he's winning points the hard way: outreading opponents, staying light on his feet, keeping the ball in play one shot longer than the other guy wants to. Tennis is brutally lonely — there's no teammate to bail you out, no coach you can sub in — and doing that on the international circuit while still basically a kid is a kind of quiet courage most people never have to show. I'm rooting for him.
