After three years of her father feeding her balls, Raveena Kingsley’s passion for tennis was born—but it was time to find a place to elevate her game.

Kingsley joined JTCC at age 10, and from 2009–14, JTCC became more than just a training ground—it became home.

It was a powerhouse March for JTCC alumni on the global stage. Frances Tiafoe surged back into the world top 20 following an ATP 500 final and deep runs in the Sunshine Double, while Hailey Baptiste secured her first Top 10 win en route to a maiden WTA 1000 Quarterfinal and a career-high ranking of No. 33.

The momentum extended across the board with Andrew Fenty reaching consecutive ITF finals, Ayana Akli making her WTA 500 debut, and Robin Montgomery successfully returning to professional competition. Whether at the elite Masters level or the ITF circuit, these athletes continue to showcase the world-class impact of JTCC training.

JTCC is home to the University of Maryland (UMD) women’s varsity tennis team, and it was buzzing with more than 175 spectators wearing black to “Back the Lady Terps” on March 21 as #47 Maryland hosted #22 Wisconsin.
Fans were treated to high-level National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I tennis, witnessing a competitive battle between two teams ranked inside the top 50 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).

After opening 2026 with her first Gold Ball at the USTA Winter Nationals, Shristi Selvan returned to the national stage at the Easter Bowl in Indian Wells, CA with the confidence of a champion and the hunger for more.
The 15-year-old didn’t just recreate that sense of déjà vu—she elevated it, returning to the winner’s circle on March 29 and taking it a step further by capturing both Girls’ 16s singles and doubles titles.

A morning of leadership, learning, and tennis came together at JTCC on March 21 as 16 young leaders from the Greater Suburban MD Chapter of Jack and Jill of America stepped into an experience they will not forget.

The visit began with a personal tour led by JTCC CEO Martin Blackman, followed by an energetic clinic led by Blackman and Coach Kenneth, where participants sharpened their skills and experienced JTCC’s training environment.
