Chris Diaz’s time as a competitive tennis player will end in the next few days.
The Ohio State senior knows that a professional career is not in the cards. He hopes one as a doctor is.
“It’s starting to hit me a little more,” said Diaz, a Watterson grad. “Once it’s actually over, that’s when it’ll really hit me. It’ll be weird. I’ve played basically my whole life. A huge part of my life won’t be there.
Diaz hopes to go out with a bang. He is ranked No. 88 nationally for the No. 5 Buckeyes, who play Texas in the NCAA Tournament round of 16 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Friday.
