● Pre-match preparation: "I focus on my strategy for the match, and that depends on who I am playing."
● Favorite movie: "Serendipity"
● Dream doubles partner: Serena Williams. "If she is down, she gets right back up and always plays her hardest. She inspires me to do the best I can."
● Dream opponent: "Lindsay Davenport because she has this amazing power."
● The odds on beating Davenport: "Her knees are going out, so I might be able to get her on the low ones." Translation: Not good.
● Favorite travel spot: "Hawaii. It's just so tropical and relaxing. New York is competitive with Hawaii, though, because there is so much to see."
● Racket of choice: Prince
● Toughest competitor in Southern Arizona: The entire Catalina Foothills girls tennis team.
● Favorite food: Mexican food, especially enchiladas.
● Dream date (other than her boyfriend, of course): Michael Jordan … then actor Orlando Bloom … and finally, Philadelphia 76er Allen Iverson
● Aspirations after graduation: "I'm looking forward to going to university to study medicine, and play tennis, of course."
● Dream job: Plastic surgeon
● Tucson hot spot: Park Place mall, because it has a nice movie theater.
● Role models: "My mom and sister. My sister encourages me to go on in difficult times, and my mom is always supportive."
● Coach-speak: "What made her special this year is that she expected to play No. 3. Bethany stepped up her game to play No. 2 and has done well. She's a real competitor and never quits trying. It's fun to watch because she is always trying to figure out a way to win." - Desert View coach Stacy Haines
