Personal
Majoring in economics.
Head coach Billy Pate on Kaiser: “Kial is one of the top U.S. prospects for 2014. He is a proven winner and has a long history of success on a national scale. Kial is very driven to play tennis at the highest level after college and has worked diligently in developing various aspects of his game. With his strong serve and groundstrokes, along with his physical ability to control the court from the baseline, I see him having the chance to make an immediate impact in our lineup.”
