Tate Ransom

Tate started playing tennis relatively late. At the age of 14 he decided to fully focus on tennis. He currently trains at LTC Startbaan under supervision of former top player Xander Spong and has made impressive strides over the last 2.5 years. Tate competes for LTC in Dutch club leagues. He also competes in open men's tournaments in the Netherlands. 

Due to Tate starting relatively late with tennis, he hasn’t played a lot of tournaments yet. However, he is extremely fit, fast and agile for a player at his level and is improving his game very quickly. His running and conditioning is better than any other player in his academy, and he works extremely hard to get the most out of every practice.

Tate is someone who will learn new skills quickly, within the right environment he can grow much more as a tennis player. He wants to play lots of matches during his time in college. He wants to compete and train in an environment with a team where everyone will push themselves and teammates to the limit. His ultimate goal is to turn pro, but he also wants to make sure to get a good education given his strong academic background.
