BIO

My name is Ian, I grew up in South Africa. I love playing tennis, and have been playing since I was 5 years old. I also competed in a variety of other sport including; squash, rugby and cricket over the years. I am able to work with you on the basics of getting comfortable with the racquet, all the way to analyzing your form in more competitive environments. I prefer to combine drills and match play to get comfortable with the game.
