Meet Jomar Montalbano, an 18-year old Filipino star tennis player on scholarship to UCL, University College London. This is his first time away from home--Davao, Philippines. His dream is to one day play on Centre Court at Wimbledon.
"Jomar is such a lovable mix of confidence and cluelessness. His passion for tennis is undeniable, but it’s the moments when he struggles off the court: longing for familiar food, stumbling through cultural shocks, or being completely undone by Mitchelle, that made me root for him the most."
