Tennis star Mary Michael says she wants to enjoy playing Tennis this season more than chasing Trophies or improving her rankings.

 

Mary, who is the national doubles champion, is currently ranked 10th in the Women’s singles bracket, told brila.net she expects a good season characterized by a major improvement in her performance.

 

However, when asked about prioritizing trophies and rankings, her response was, “This year I’m hoping my ranking improves, but I’ve been away for a while and now I just want to enjoy playing again.

 

Winning championships and becoming number are important, but first I just want to enjoy the game.”
