Varun Medhal spent a weekend enjoying what most tennis enthusiasts can only dream of doing: He had an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City to tour the National Tennis Center, sat in a Presidential Box during Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day, and ate lunch at the hospitality suite at the United States Open.

The Camas youth was awarded the trip after being named one of 10 winners of the USTA’s National Junior Tennis and Learning essay contest.
