The Future of Tennis…David Senerchia

David Senerchia is 10 years old, and is a future tennis star in the eyes of many. He resides in Rougemont, NC with his parents, Jay and Suzan Senerchia. When asked why he liked tennis, he said “I saw it on TV, and thought it was fun! David plays with his Dad, Jay. His interest in tennis started a year ago with tennis lessons with Jimmy Jones, Durham.

David and his family participated in DOCTA’s Annual May Tennis Carnival. Soon after the Carnival, David played his first USTA Sanctioned Novice tennis tournament in Roxboro, NC losing in the finals of the Boys 12s Singles. What a thrill! David has played five tournaments to date. He has natural tennis talent and is amazing to watch said Anna McLean, DOCTA Board, after seeing him play in a junior tournament in Greensboro. David won the CTA Junior Fire Starter Tournament in Concord in July. He was a finalist in the August Greensboro tournament. He is currently ranked #40 in the state in the Boys 10 year old division. David’s goal is to play in the U.S. Open one day. His parents are very proud of him, and feel he works hard, is competitive, and has a good attitude.

David was recommended throughout the DOCTA Open Junior Tennis Challenge by several players and parents for a Good Sportsmanship Award because of his great attitude on and off the tennis court. DOCTA is proud to salute one of the future tennis stars in the Durham-Orange Area—David Senerchia.
