Cyrus Mahjoob was tasked with picking an outfit to represent what he wanted to be when he grew up. Despite his mother, Negin Mahjoob, offering assistance, Cyrus went alone to his room and returned wearing an all-white outfit, accompanied by a headband and his tennis racket. “I’m going to be a professional tennis player,” the five-year-old said, according to his mother. Over 15 years later, Mahjoob is on his way to reaching that goal. The now-junior plays at the second singles slot for No. 49-ranked Northwestern, the school he transferred to after leaving Georgia last spring. Mahjoob also plays at second in doubles, where he and junior Ethan Schiffman rank 70th in the country. — Story by @je.mccl Daily file photo by @drayson.jaffee Read the full story at the link in our bio.
