For Nicole Pitts, the weekend was about more than the result.
A former professional tennis player and pediatric sports medicine physician, Nicole reflects on competing under pressure, the support she’s found within the Champions Series, playing in her own backyard, and the opportunity to continue competing at a high level.
“Being an athlete doesn’t have to have an expiration date.”
