We are incredibly proud to share some amazing news from one of our own—Pratik Nayak, a junior at Clarkstown South High School and longtime student of our academy, has just won the NYSPHSAA Boys’ Doubles State Championship!
Alongside his partner Chris Cho, Pratik navigated an intense state tournament field and came out on top, capturing the prestigious New York state doubles title in his junior year—a rare and remarkable feat.
🔥 A Champion’s Journey
This victory is the result of years of discipline, grit, and countless hours on court. Pratik has always stood out for his focus, consistency, and quiet determination. Whether it was early morning practices, long match days, or tough losses along the way, he never stopped pushing forward.
👨👩👦 A Family Effort
Behind every great athlete is an incredible support system, and Pratik’s family has been a driving force in his journey. Their commitment—from travel and training to encouragement and balance—has made a huge impact on his development as a player and as a young man.
The sacrifices, long car rides, and daily encouragement from his parents have helped shape Pratik into the competitor he is today. This win is just as much theirs as it is his.
🎾 More Than a Trophy
Winning a state title as a junior is a powerful accomplishment—not only for what it represents now but for what it signals about what’s ahead. With one more year of high school and an even brighter future in college tennis, Pratik is just getting started.
This moment will be remembered not just for the result, but for the perseverance, humility, and class that Pratik has shown throughout his journey.
🙌 Congratulations, Pratik
Everyone at AK Tennis Academy is celebrating you—not just for your victory, but for the way you carry yourself on and off the court. We are proud to be part of your journey and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
