YACOB06

[XGC Yacob]

Well my name is Jacob but my tennis coach started calling me Yacob when I was in junior high. He said it was my name in another language, Hebrew maybe. Upon further research, Yacob was a misinterpretation of Jacob but it was the correct interpretation in another language. I went to basic training with a guy who was born in the Czech Republic and he said my name was Yacob in his language. I thought that was really cool. All through high school, people called me Yacob or Yac for short. And just to clarify it is pronounced (Yah-cub) not (Yay-cub). I get Yaycub all the time so I just quit correcting people. The 06 is just year I graduated high school.

I'll be honest and say Im one of those people who would say it wrong if i saw you in a match. I have to remember yah-cub now.
