Wish I would have known you were photographing Daniel earlier. Tell him I said hi.
As far as your submissions go, below are my crits for your project. I will refrain from going through each photo and talk about the technical aspects of the set instead:
I think you did a good job telling the story of your subject going through a Tennis match. You got some really good action shots, but I wish there was an opponent that could have set up against and got "in-game" shots from. You did a really good job of keeping your shutter speed high and all of your photos have good focus.
Some things I would improve: It does appear that your photos are a little washed out in the color space. I would fix this in the future by taking a few photos before hand, getting the color settings just right (it looks like you may need to change your color setting from auto to cloudy here) and maybe change the color capture type to vivid if your camera has that setting. All of these would bring up the colorscape a little better and provide more of a interesting composition. Your last photo is the one that could benefit the most with the 2nd to last being the best in terms of color.
Overall you did a good job, and those tiny little improvements could help the overall composition of each photo and improve the project as a whole.
I also wanted to add that I think you did a great job of capturing the "decisive moment" and had very good shadow that added depth to your photos. You also provided a myriad of shots, different styles, and camera angles which added to the overall story and the entire composition was elevated because of that.
