Simon Caldwell, ranked #1 in the Great Lakes and #15 in the nation, just powered through to the final 32 at the USTA Boys’ Junior Nationals—right here in Kalamazoo. What’s wild is, Simon’s not just playing for himself—he’s carrying the hopes of West Michigan, with family roots in this very tournament. The crowd’s energy is fueling him, and he says it’s all about showing up for his Michigan community. How much does local support matter in sports? Anyone else feel extra motivated when the home crowd’s behind you? #Sports #Tennis #GrandRapids
