Congratulations to Shintaro Mochizuki, the 2019 Wimbledon Junior Champion, who has successfully battled through the qualifiers to secure his spot in the main draw!
We remember spotting him years ago at IMG Academy—back then still a boy with great potential.
Now, he has grown into a strong and determined athlete, supported all the while by a mentor who has guided him since his early days.
Journalist Akatsuki Uchida captures this journey beautifully in an article that resonates deeply from a coach’s perspective.

Meeting the right coach at the right time is not always in our control—timing, luck, and connection all play a part. But for athletes, their support team often becomes like family.
We’re cheering for you, Mochizuki! Keep going!
