For Sun Devil alumnus Desirae Krawczyk, class of 2016, her introduction to the sport of tennis came at an early age.
Krawczyk’s father would bring her along to matches at his club in her hometown of Palm Desert, California. Soon, her own affinity for the sport started to take hold.
“I just followed him around and started taking lessons,” Krawczyk said. “I got my first racket when I was young and started playing at local events in the valley.”
Along with Krawczyk competing locally, another factor that contributed to her infatuation with the sport was volunteering at one of the biggest tournaments in the world: the Indian Wells Masters.
