One of the rising stars in Louisiana Junior Tennis lives in New Orleans. Micah Elizabeth Mary Pierce is 13 years old and started playing tennis when she was 5 years old. Micah is an 8^th grade student at the Isidore Newman School in New Orleans and is already a member of the varsity tennis team.

Micah is currently ranked number 2 in the USTA Louisiana Girls 14’s and in December she will be the top ranked girl in the 14’s. She is also currently ranked 43^rd in the Southern section of the USTA in the Girls’14’s!

Last year, Serena Williams visited the Newman School and was able to meet Micah and her teammates, which was a huge moment for all the girls!

Micah’s future in tennis is extremely bright and she has said recently, "I just love the game”, and we couldn’t agree more with her!
