Celebrating John Henry and Sherif El Sharabasy’s impressive performances in Tucson, AZ

We are proud to celebrate the accomplishments of T3 Tennis players John Henry and Sherif El Sharabasy at the 2025 Arizona Open Wheelchair Tennis Tournament held in February at the beautiful Refkin Tennis Center in Tucson, Arizona.


Impressive Performances

  • Sherif El Sharabasy competed in both the adult C singles and doubles divisions, marking his first-ever USTA tournament after only four months of playing tennis. Sherif’s athleticism extends beyond tennis—he’s a top scorer on his ice hockey team and a wide receiver on his flag football team.
  • John Henry entered both the juniors and adult divisions, playing 7 matches and 13 sets over three days—a true demonstration of endurance, skill, and focus.


Both athletes earned 2nd place finishes, showcasing their dedication, talent, and the hard work they’ve put in through T3 Tennis programs.

We are incredibly proud of John and Sherif, and we look forward to seeing them continue to grow and compete in future tournaments. Their achievements are a testament to the power of adaptive sports to inspire and challenge athletes at every level.
