Why do you love coaching?

I love coaching because it’s a way to share the love of tennis to others and it’s rewarding seeing people improve in the sport.

Why do you love playing tennis?

I love playing as it’s a way to meet new people and catch up with friends in a healthy and active environment.

Your favourite tennis player and why?

My favourite tennis player is Monfils due to his ability to move quickly around the court and his ability to hit crazy shots which is quite entertaining to watch.

Your favourite shot to coach and why?

I love coaching the backhand because it’s usually a shot that people struggle with and it’s very important when continuing a rally.

Your favourite shot to play and why?

My favourite shot to play is probably a volley winner because it’s satisfying to finish a point with a strong hit which the opponent can’t reach.
