According to her, she holds for herself high standards and expectations but has vowed to attain her dreams the right way, not by just being honest, humble, respectful and kind but by also upholding the highest level of integrity.

Prim is of the view that the foregoing attributes are hard to come by this days and are often forgotten or disregarded; nonetheless, she has promised that she will never forget to uphold these values and the things she stands for.

Since the early days of her life, Prim has been in love with tennis. It was her passion while she was growing up and she had no second thoughts about her career path until she suffered an injury that compelled her to forsake her racket at the age of 21. It was devastating for Prim who went through a lot of psychological pain.

In fact, she couldn’t get herself to watch tennis games for over four years after she parted ways with tennis courts. Many years went by but the lady was still in love with her first love and sad about the way she left her tennis career. Eventually, she realized that she didn’t fight hard enough for the love of her life and decided to return to pro tennis.

Prim Siripipat Bio

Siripipat was born on the 15th day of January 1981 in Mexico, Missouri. Initially, it was thought that she would build a career out of her liking for playing piano, dancing, swimming or gymnastics. When young Prim turned 7, it became obvious that her fondness for tennis is greater. She became an avid player and 5 years later, relocated to Tampa in Florida to actively pursue her dream of becoming a tennis player. This saw her become a student of Saddlebrook Tennis Academy.

Siripipat was exceptionally good and proficient to such extent she was honoured with an academic title of success. She was named Valedictorian. More to that, she earned a top #10 national ranking and ultimately, was rewarded with a full scholarship to Duke University where she majored in Sociology.

While it was anticipated that Prim would have a fantastic career in pro tennis, she suffered a series of injuries that eventually saw her go through three surgeries. 21-year-old Prim’s world collapsed when she learnt thereafter that she can no longer play tennis. Excessively traumatized, Prim was left with no option but to find solace in another career. Thus, she ventured into broadcast journalism. She started as an intern and progressed to a reporter and then an anchor for CBS in Miami.

Quite disappointed, Siripipat observed that the lay-off is a blessing, a chance to return to pro tennis.
