You are an 18-year-old living in a middle-income country. Since the age of 12, you have devoted significant time to tennis and have excelled in your local circuit. A top-50 university in the United States offers you a full scholarship, conditional on you graduating, in exchange for playing exclusively in the college circuit. At the same time, a local sponsor offers partial financial support (coach's salary, equipment, and training facilities) if you decide to play professionally on the ITF World Tennis Tour, which is the first step towards playing tennis in the top-tier leagues (WTA or ATP).
