Ryler DeHeart was born on March 1st, 1984 in Kauai, Hawaii and now resides in Tampa Bay, Florida.  I was first introduced to him on a blog talk radio show, and immediately recognized his wonderful passion for the sport and his ability to speak and express himself so eloquently. 

Ryler turned professional in 2006 and amounted a career singles high number of 174 back in March of 2010.  Ryler is the type of player that can just take apart his opponent's game with his smooth style of play.  He has a wonderful one-handed backhand that can angle any shot from any position on court. 

During the 2008 U.S. Open, Ryler DeHeart had the match of his life competing against current world No. 1 Rafael Nadal.  Ryler mentioned how much respect he had for Nadal's game, since competing at the highest level of the game is something he will remember for the rest of his life.

Ryler became a more defined player during his developmental days while attending the University of Illinois as a student-athlete.  He was a participant of the 2003 NCAA championship team that included ATP professionals Amer Delic and Rajeev Ram (who were the biggest hitters in the lineup of players). 

He graduated as a psych/pre-med major, although his core passion and love still lies with tennis. 

Ryler DeHeart is now working on establishing himself in the Tampa Bay, Florida area and hoping to begin his own academy, where he will be forging the hearts and minds of junior players from around the world. 

If anyone can produce national and international champions here in the United States, it is certainly Ryler DeHeart; he has tremendous leadership abilities and passion for what he does. 

Following is my interview with Ryler:
