Mmoh was born in Saudi Arabia, but his family resettled in America when he was 12, and he has trained at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL. since the age of 13.
Along with looking up to his father, Mmoh grew up idolizing Andy Roddick, who happens to be America's last male Grand Slam champion.
"I've just always loved his persona, and the way he carried himself, especially now," Mmoh said. "I have great respect for the way he played. He's a very intelligent tennis player. He knew what he was doing out there on the court, which I always respect because that's what I like to do out there too."
Mmoh also likens his game to Gael Monfils', and current world No. 1 Andy Murray's. The teenager has already showed off his athleticism, making a number of highlight reels for pulling off hot shots.
"I've gotten some resemblance to Monfils," Mmoh said. "I would say, maybe out of the current generation, Murray. We're both very athletic, we get a lot of balls back, we're really good on the defense. And we just have a canny ability to make balls and not really miss, and then at the same time we can be aggressive."
Watch out for Mmoh's debut Down Under when the Australian Open starts on January 16.
