Susan, Rachel’s mother, and President at Milton Tennis Club was quoted
“
Today marks a very special day for the Kitamura/Krzyzak family!! Rachel competed and won a small OTA Open tournament at our home club in Milton. It was her first tournament in over a year! Wonderful for her to play at home supported by friends and family, as well as her very first coach Andre, and her current coach of 7 years, Mike. Despite being a small event, it certainly is a major milestone achieved after undergoing MPFL reconstructive knee surgery in November of last year! What a journey for a 16 year old to undertake. Rob (Rachel’s father) and I could not be more proud of Rachel’s determination and resilience and most of all, her love for tennis! So many people have supported Rachel and continue to do so. Especially everyone at ACE tennis - Pierre, Doug, Mike H, Mike D, Victor as well as her physios - Pat and Matt. She could not have done it alone! Thank you all!”
All of ACE is just as proud of Rachel for her dedication and resilience through the entire process. Congratulations Rachel, this is just the beginning!!
