A Lifetime in Competitive Tennis
For more than 20 years, tennis has been my profession.
I've worked with ambitious junior players, professional athletes, coaches, tournaments and families dedicated to long-term player development.
Today, I combine that experience to provide independent strategic advisory for families pursuing professional tennis.
Early Coaching Career
My coaching career began more than two decades ago, working with competitive junior players.
One of the players I coached from the beginning of his development was Vitaliy Sachko, who later became a professional ATP player.
Helping build a player's foundation taught me something that still shapes my work today:
Great careers are built through great decisions.
Founder of Mayami Strings
Beyond coaching, I founded Mayami Strings, an international tennis string brand trusted by competitive players, professional stringers and ATP & WTA athletes.
Building a global tennis brand gave me experience far beyond the tennis court.
It taught me how the professional tennis industry operates—from product development and tournament support to working with players, coaches and international partners.
Professional Tennis Network
Throughout my career I've built relationships with coaches working at the highest level of professional tennis.
Exchanging ideas with experienced ATP and WTA coaches has been an important part of my own development.
These relationships give me valuable insight into different coaching philosophies, player development systems and the realities of professional tennis.
International Perspective
Based in the South of France, I work with families from different countries who are pursuing professional tennis.
Every player is different.
Every family is different.
Every situation requires independent thinking — not generic advice.
Why I Created TennisBreakdown
After more than twenty years in tennis, I noticed that families often invest enormous amounts of time and money but still struggle with the biggest decisions.
Which coach?
Which academy?
When to change?
What should be the priority?
Too often there is no independent voice.
That is why I created TennisBreakdown.
Not to replace coaches.
Not to replace academies.
But to help families make better tennis decisions.
My Philosophy
I believe success in tennis isn't determined by a single lesson or one tournament.
It is the result of hundreds of decisions made over many years.
My role is simple:
Helping Families Make Better Tennis Decisions.
