MEET YOUR TENNIS PROFESSIONALS
| | KEATON DOLAN Originally from Orange County, CA, Keaton got his passion for tennis while attending summer camps as a kid and immediately fell in love with it. Thanks to his parents' guidance, he was able to keep pursuing his passion through his teenage years and was able to play in his high school team, being an integral part of the varsity team throughout his career. All this commitment and effort allowed him to get the opportunity to be a walk-on at the University of Arizona and experienced the possibility to compete at the highest college level. After spending four wonderful years in Tucson, AZ, Keaton graduated from the Eller College of Management with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Commercial Real Estate. Keaton enjoys playing golf, the guitar, shooting pool, and working out in his leisure time.

| | BORJA MALO CASADO Borja's passion for tennis started when he was only five years old. His father was a former college tennis player and introduced his son to the game. Borja instantly fell in love with tennis and grew up on a tennis court. A native of Barcelona, Spain, Borja is a citizen of the world, as he also holds Chilean and American citizenships and has lived in many different countries. Borja grew up playing all the major juniors' tournaments around the world and became a professional player at 16 years old. At 19 years old, Borja reached his career high of 731st in singles and 670th in doubles in the ATP Rankings. In 2009, Borja accepted an offer to play tennis at the University of Georgia, which was the #1 ranked school for tennis in the country at the time. With the Bulldogs, he was a NCAA Indoor Championships finalist, SEC Eastern Division Champion, and reached the Elite Eight at the NCAA Championships, ending the season #6 in the country. After injuring his wrist, he transferred to the University of Arizona to play in the PAC-12, where he graduated with a degree in History and Sports Management. With the Wildcats, he reached 55th in the country in doubles, beat UCLA for the first time in school history, and ended the season being ranked 31st in the country. After graduating college in the States, Borja went back to Barcelona to complete a Master's degree in Sports Management at the Pompeu Fabra University. Borja is an avid fan of everything racquet sports-related, fitness, and his soccer team, FC Barcelona. He also loves all Spanish foods, such as paellas and tapas.
