TESTIMONIALS<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>
\n

“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.<\/em>”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Marcos Baghdatis<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n

“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.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Peter Smith (John's former college coach at Pepperdine University and five-time NCAA Champion at USC)<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n

“Having played doubles with John on the ATP tour including beating several players who would go on to become Grand Slam Champions, I can\u2019t 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.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Dr. Anthony Ross (Director of Mentally Tough Tennis, Pepperdine University tennis team member and highest ATP ranking #134)<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n

“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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

“Without Mike, Johanna\u2019s\u00a0success wouldn\u2019t be the same and I am assured that his\u00a0guidance will be well received by other success-hungry and dedicated players and parents alike.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Gabor Konta (Johanna Konta's dad) - Johanna Konta\u2019s highest WTA ranking #4 (17\/07\/2017)<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n

“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.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

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!”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Rendy, Lu Yen-Hsun (Former Asia #1 Player, ATP highest ranking #33)<\/strong><\/span><\/div><\/div>
\n

“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!<\/em>”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

\n
\n

Red Ball<\/span><\/p>\n

4-7 Year old. Red ball\u00a0is played on small courts with short rackets and soft balls. It is\u00a0just like the real game and gives players opportunities to have long rallies and play different types of shots<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Orange Ball<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Green Ball<\/span><\/p>\n

10-12 Year old.\u00a0Green 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\u00a0the next stage before moving on to full compression yellow balls. It\u00a0helps players develop and improve all aspects of their game.<\/p>\n

Yellow Ball<\/span><\/p>\n

Not Age Specific.\u00a0This 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
