If you're a junior tennis player on your way to become a professional do you travel alot and if you do and are about 17 years old can you still finish highschool and actually go to the school instead of homeschooling and have any tennisplayers finished highschool by really going?

I don't think there are any tennis players who finished high school by attending regularly, other than the ones who turn pro after high school age. Playing in tournaments can require a week-long or longer time commitment per tournament, as well as a rigorous training schedule.
The men's world top 10 James Blake is a student at Harvard University who plans to finish his college education after his tennis career. Colleges are much more flexible in terms of being a part-time student or putting one's education on hold.

pro tennis players travel A LOT.. these are expenses you must pay yourself. You would need to likely finish high school if you really wanted to finish high school before going on the circuit..

most high schools actually promote traveling abroad for academic or extremely serious athletic purposes...and they will usually cooperate with a hired tutor and give ur tutor all the work for ur school classes and teach u the same exact stuff...so u can actually take the exact same course as u wuldve if u had not traveled...this is at least how many schools around my home are
