Multitasking
Former @UVAMensTennis standout JC Aragone had his hands full this week in Miami. Aragone was playing in the Altec/Styslinger Tennis Exhibition while also serving as the tournament director. The fan-free, socially-distanced tournament featured eight of the top American players, who were looking for a safe way to ease back into competition. The Tennis Channel aired all of the matches of the tournament. You can watch the clip above which is an interview with Aragone talking about his role as tournament director. You should also read this great article on Tennis.com that profiles Aragone, including his challenges of being a professional athlete who also has to battle diabetes.
