Who is Tar Cover Story
iq Simons Tariq Simons was born February 27th, 2001 in Bermuda to a Bermudian father, Ras Mykkal Simons and a Jamaican mother, Nathalee Simons (nee Johnson). He attended Purvis Primary School in Warwick, Bermuda before he and his parents relocated to Jamaica in 2012 to give him a better opportunity to pursue his dream of being a tennis professional. Tariq’s potential to play tennis was discovered in Bermuda at a Simons family gathering. At age 7, he was trying his hand at table tennis when his father’s cousin, Brian Swan, noted that Tariq had really good forehand form and mentioned to his mother that “Tariq should try playing tennis”. Tariq’s mother called the first name she saw in the telephone book ‘under Tennis Instructors’ Howard Cross. Howard was the tennis pro at the Reefs Hotel in Southampton, Bermuda and arrangement was made for Tariq to start tennis lessons. He was immediately impressed with Tariq’s hand-eye coordination, motor skills, form and ability to absorb the instructions given in a short time. Regarded as probably the best development coach in Bermuda, Howard spent 12 months training Tariq before putting him in his first tournament, the 2009 Coral Beach Junior Tennis Tournament. Tariq lost 4-0, 4-0, but his form and passion had been noted by all. Tariq won his first tournament, 6-3, 6-3 over Scott Redmond in the Langton Junior Tennis Tournament on April 7th, 2011. By the time Tariq left Bermuda for Jamaica, he was ranked number two in the boys under 10 and 4th in the boys under 12. Tariq has spent the summer of 2010 in Jamaica and participated for two weeks in the Russell Tennis Academy summer camp at the Rose Hall Hilton in Montego Bay. Tariq’s parents wanted him to develop under the Richard Russell Tennis Academy program, so they rented a home in Montego Bay in August 2012, just up the hill from the Rose Hall Hilton. Unfortunately, the Russell’s had relocated their Academy to Kington. Gary Gedallia was the new tennis pro at the Hilton and became Tariq’s new coach. In 2014, Tariq tennis training and development moved from the Hilton Rose Hall to Sea Garden Hotel on Gloucester Ave, Montego under Coach Maureen Rankine. Serveitup Digital Magazine October 2016 29
