🏆 **TDC SERIES NATIONAL TOUR | TTA T3**

What a week. The TDC Series National Tour came to a close this Sunday at Tenerife Tennis Academy with some incredible battles in the finals, rounding off six days of seriously high level competitive tennis.

Players travelled in from across the Canaries and the mainland, and the standard on court was outstanding from the first round to the final point.

A huge thank you to **Juan Andrés**, director and founder of the TDC Series, whose involvement runs from start to finish and keeps the standards exactly where they should be. Great organisation, great prizes, and a tour that continues to raise the bar for junior tennis in Spain.

Thank you also to **Miguel Mesa**, our umpire for the week, for keeping every match running smoothly and fairly.

And to the players, parents and coaches who made the trip: thank you. You are what makes these weeks feel the way they do. Congratulations to every champion and finalist, and to everyone who left it all out there on court.

We are always proud to host national events of this quality at TTA, and it has been a pleasure. Until the next one 🎾

Another one of our own…
Division 1 🇺🇸

From a little girl with dreams in her eyes,
to a young lady ready to rise,

We have watched every step of your way,
from those first hits… to the player you are today.

There were cheers that lifted you high,
there were tears you could not deny,
there were moments you wanted to stop,
but you didn’t… you stayed in the fight.

Through the wins and the losses, the highs and the lows,
it was never about how the story goes,
it was about who you chose to be,
when no one was watching… just you on the court, quietly.

And the truth that stands above all of this,
on the hard days, you did not miss.
You showed up.
Again and again.

Not just for the glory,
but for the work within.

You grew through the struggle, you earned your place,
with discipline, heart, and relentless pace.

Now the next chapter is yours to begin,
across the ocean… a new journey, a new win. 🇺🇸

But no matter how far you go from today,
a part of you will always stay,
on these courts, in this place,
within this family… forever your base.

We are proud of you, more than words can say,
this is your moment… now go your way.

Congratulations Iva 🌸
This is only the beginning. 🍀
