“I started tennis at six, wanting to compete with my brother,” says Luca Bland. “Now I train 6–7 hours a week, aiming for college tennis in the US and eventually going pro.” Reflecting on the Junior Davis Cup, he adds, “It was intense but amazing — it showed me how much more I can give.” His advice to young players? “Be around people who challenge you. It’s not just about technique — it’s about learning to compete."
