Cori Cummings with her favorite weapon.<\/p><\/div>\n

November has been good to Kailua’s Cori Cummings. The Mid-Pac senior signed her official letter of intent at a special ceremony last Wednesday to attend Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia on a tennis scholarship.<\/p>\n

Only a day earlier, she had made a long-awaited appearance at the prestigious Kailua Racquet Club Women’s Night Doubles Tournament alongside partner Skyla Alcon. Playing in that tournament is a unique experience, especially for Cummings.<\/p>\n

“It’s one of my favorite tournaments because I grew up playing at the club,” she said. “My parents (Robert and Windy) were members. I like the atmosphere there. It’s one of the few tournaments where people really come out to see the tennis. I feel like I’m at home.”<\/p>\n

Cummings and Alcon defeated Miyuki Haught and Natasha Zorec 6-1, 7-5 in their first-round match. Although her team was beaten the following night by the top-seeded team (Mariska Kobayashi and Marietta Tuionetoa), Cummings’ future in tennis is bright.<\/p>\n

She recently took some time away from the tennis court to visit with MidWeek<\/I>‘s Windward Islander<\/I>.<\/p>\n

What is your earliest sports memory? <\/B>I was 6 and playing at the UH courts with my first coach (Bev Tom) on a Sunday. It came easily to me. When I would finish my lesson, my mom and dad would hit with me.<\/p>\n

Who has had the biggest impact on your life? <\/B>I think (Kailua-born coach) Rosie Bareis. Every summer I go to Berkeley to work for her (at Claremont Resort and Spa). She’s also my coach. She’s really inspired me to be a better person and a better tennis player.<\/p>\n

When did you know you had a future in tennis? <\/B>When I was 12. I liked it, but I wasn’t passionate about it. I was training at Kaneohe Marine base, and my coach (Connie Zepeda) pushed me to be more serious about it.<\/p>\n

When you surf the Internet, what website do you go to the most? <\/B>Facebook. You can keep in contact with people from all over the world. I really like that.<\/p>\n

What movie could you watch over and over? <\/B>Fight Club<\/I>.<\/p>\n

Who are three of your favorite musical artists? <\/B>Nas, Kid Cudi and the Beatles.<\/p>\n

When you have free time, how do you like to spend it? <\/B>Hanging out with friends, going to the beach or hiking.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? <\/B>Hopefully, working as a graphic designer in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

If you were planning a trip, what would be your dream destination? <\/B>Somewhere in Europe because I’ve never been there.<\/p>\n

You’re stuck on Kahoolawe and can have just one food. What would it be? <\/B>Spicy ahi.<\/p>\n

Given the chance, what celebrity would you most like to meet? <\/B>(Actress) Amy Poehler. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
