Game. Set. Community.

Rosas continued to grow within the organization, and today, serves as the PLTA President. In his role, Rosas helps lead the organization in creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals. It’s a way to connect with the community while also playing a sport he genuinely loves.

“I love that tennis is both a great workout and a genuinely fun game,” he said. “I especially enjoy doubles because of how social it is. You’re constantly laughing and having a good time when playing with friends. More recently, I’ve appreciated how many amazing people I’ve met through tournaments and competitive matches. It’s always exciting to make new connections and grow friendships through the sport.”

PLTA has a number of key events coming up in summer 2025, including the Philadelphia Open, an annual event that brings together tennis players from around the East Coast. It’s a popular event — and one that Rosas hopes sparks additional playing opportunities for the rest of this year. 

“One of my goals this year was to compete in more GLTA tournaments across the East Coast, and I’m proud to say I’m on track to achieve it,” he said. “ I’ll be playing in the Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. GLTA tournaments this year.  Beyond that, I’m always looking to improve and grow as a player.”
