“I always wanted to play tennis,” Gomez said. “The sport caught my attention when I was young and I loved it ever since.”
Gomez, a native of Colombia, was ranked the number one player in her home country in each of the last six years before she started playing for ECU, as well as in every age division since she was 12 years old.
