With the dream of pursuing collegiate tennis, freshman Diogo Rocha made the move from Lisbon, Portugal to Denver.
One of the nine players on Denver’s men’s tennis team, Rocha’s first season with the Pioneers has been one for the books. In the Summit League Championships on April 27, DU took home the first place title and Rocha was the first to gain a singles win, 6-0, in this tournament. This year, Rocha’s individual singles record was 18-6 and for individual doubles, Rocha’s record was 16-7.
“We just won our conference tournament last weekend and with that we have qualified for the NCAA Tournament. We are hoping to have some very good weeks of practice to be ready to go and play our best tennis of the year at the NCAA tournament,” said Rocha.
Taught by his father in Portugal, Rocha began playing tennis at the age of six and has no plans of stopping anytime soon. With his career at Denver underway and off to a strong start, Rocha has big plans for the future. (ler mais)
