Both Miko and Alex have been developing their tennis skills under the tutelage of coaches and trainers in RNA.

The 17-year-old Miko capured the Boys' Singles title at the Hellenic Bank Masters Tennis Academy tournament in Cyprus last year.

Meanwhile, his younger sister Alex is continuing her studies and training at RNA.

Alex has seen a tremendous rise in her tennis career after winning the Australian Open Girls' Doubles championship with Indon partner Priska Nugroho.
