TENNIS PRODIGY
Mika Reynolds is 15 years old and lives in Florida, USA. Her mother is Japanese, and her father is
American. When she was four she started playing tennis – and she could play brilliantly. She was
Florida Young Tennis Player of the Year in 2005 when she was only 10.
Mika goes to a special high school. She can study maths, languages and science, but she also
plays a lot of tennis with other talented young players. She studies Japanese and English, and can
play the guitar and the piano.
Mika says: ‘When I was young, I couldn’t have friends because I played tennis a lot. That was a bit
