TESTIMONIALS
“I was Junior World Champion in 2003. I was runner up at the Australian Open in 2006. My highest ATP ranking was number 8 in the world. Guillaume was my private coach. Very supportive and professional. We worked hard, we fought hard. I defeated Nadal. I defeated Federer. Guillaume always believed I had the potential to beat the best.”
“John is one the finest individuals I know and have coached in my 32-year career. He always puts others first. It is never about John, but about his team or family. John has a quiet confidence that comes from being so successful in so many areas of his life; personal, professional and tennis. He has always had a knack for doing the right thing at the right time. I am excited to see this company grow and do great things behind his leadership.”
“Having played doubles with John on the ATP tour including beating several players who would go on to become Grand Slam Champions, I can’t recommend his programs highly enough. His experiences and achievements both on and off the court are what makes him so special and the best person to guide players towards achieving their tennis dreams.”
“Kyle spent an important period of his development under the guidance of Mike at Win Tennis which included his daily education, physical development and of course his tennis development. Faced with the decision again I would definitely choose the same route. Kyle thoroughly enjoyed his time at Win Tennis and I would trust Kyle in Mike’s hands any day.”
“Without Mike, Johanna’s success wouldn’t be the same and I am assured that his guidance will be well received by other success-hungry and dedicated players and parents alike.”
“David is a good friend of mine, as we often practiced together when we were in college. He was driven and always gave his best effort on the court, which is why I have high regard for him ever since.
His commitment and dedication continues in his coaching career. With his wealth of playing experience and knowledge, he is definitely the perfect coach for all levels of players. He is simply brilliant!”
“David is a really hardworking and experienced coach and is also very invested in the development of the player. He will go beyond class time to think of ways to improve the student’s game. He is also great to be around with on and off the court!”

MWT has always aspired to create a programme that not only helps to improve and support Hong Kong tennis, but also to provide support to Hong Kong coaches. John Hui and Mike Walker have long ties to the history of Hong Kong tennis and they would like to help guide the future development of the sport by contributing to the professional growth and development of local coaches.

OUR
TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL PROGRAMMES
A great way to work on stroke production, strengths and weaknesses and strategy in an individual environment or with some friends. Lessons can be arranged on a permanent basis or week by week.
Group lessons are held in the mornings and evenings and can be organized individually or within established classes where spaces are available. A great social way to learn the game.
Holiday camps are organized around school holidays. A relaxed way to introduce kids to the game of tennis in a fun environment.
Learn the ins and outs, movements, and tactics of Pickleball from our qualified and highly professional coaching team. Pickleball is growing fast in Hong Kong and MWT are pleased to offer Pickleball services currently in individual and group lessons.
Coaching masterclasses will be held several times per year with visiting world-class coaches, touring ATP/WTA tour players, as well as other well-known sporting personalities. Please visit our “EVENTS & NEWS” page for more info.
Red Ball
4-7 Year old. Red ball is played on small courts with short rackets and soft balls. It is just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots
Orange Ball
8-9 Year old. Orange ball is a great way for players to continue their progress from Red Ball. It is played with shorter rackets, softer balls and courts are bigger and wider than the red stage, but still smaller than full-size tennis courts, allowing players to develop a rounded game whilst learning a range of techniques and tactics.
Green Ball
10-12 Year old. Green Ball is for players to continue their progress from Orange Ball. It is played on a full size tennis court, with bigger rackets and balls which are a little softer than yellow balls. It is the next stage before moving on to full compression yellow balls. It helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game.
Yellow Ball
Not Age Specific. This program is designed for our younger juniors that have been taking lessons consistently and are starting to play tournaments using the full court and have progressed from Green Ball. These players are focusing on the development of a consistent stroke that becomes the cornerstone of rallying, as well as basic tennis strategies for match play.
