What players say

Coaching that works

Fazal has been my teammate and doubles partner in several Davis Cup matches. He also was my tennis coach during the 2005 US Open series where I won the US Open mixed doubles. His eye for the game, experience, and communication skills not only make it a good learning experience but a fun and interactive one that makes you want to keep coming back for more.

Mahesh Bhupathi

Former world #1, winner of 12 Grand Slam titles

Fazal was able to teach me in one year what I have been working on for 10 years! He is able to hone in on what needs work and fix it!

Lisa Benn

Since working with Fazal I have noticed my volleys, groundstrokes, footwork and tactical approaches have significantly gotten better. I am very grateful to have such a serious coach in my life who puts so much effort into my tennis.
