I met Rex Kulman and his father Guy when he was 8 years old at the Oracle Challenger in 2020, just days before the world quarantined.

Five years later Rex is an elite 13 year old player, approaching a 10 UTR, is home schooled, and is coached full time by Diego Moyano, the former coach of Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe, respectively. Rex has trained at McEnroe Academy, Mouratoglou Academy, as well as the USTA's campus in Lake Nona and in Queens.

Most recently Rex played in ITF Junior tournaments in Havana and Jamaica, and we talked about it all.

His unique life in tennis is fascinating, and I hope every parent and child in tennis has a listen.
