Testimonial

I was lucky to train under Anirudh Sir for eight years, and I’m so grateful to have had one of India’s best tennis coaches guide me. His ability to analyze and correct flaws in a player’s game is remarkable. What really makes him special is how positive and supportive he is, creating an environment where you feel motivated to give your best. He knows exactly how to bring out the strengths in each player and work on their weaknesses. Coming from an Army background, his discipline and work ethic are next level. I remember when he donated part of his liver to his cousin. Just a month later, he was back coaching, making sure my practice didn’t suffer. Another time, he hurt his foot stepping on glass but still showed up to sessions wearing slippers, walking on his toes. That’s the kind of commitment he has. He didn’t just coach me on the court but also joined me in physical and weight training, pushing me to do better. Whenever I doubted myself or felt lost, he always believed in me. Even when I threw tantrums or tested his patience, he stayed by my side. His methods are unique but so effective, and he truly understands the struggles players face, both on and off the court. I’m so thankful I got to spend those years under his guidance. He wasn’t just my coach—he was my mentor and one of the biggest influences in my life.

Testimonial

I was lucky to work with Anirudh Singh Rawat as a coach at Dream Tennis Academy for five years, and those years taught me so much about coaching. Anirudh Sir has an incredible understanding of tennis, especially the biomechanics of the game. He’s amazing at spotting even the tiniest technical flaws in a player’s strokes and knows exactly how to fix them in a way that makes sense and works. What really makes him stand out, though, is his energy on the court. No matter how long or tough the day is, he’s always full of enthusiasm, pushing players and coaches alike to give their best. I learned a ton from him—not just about technique but also about how to connect with players, understand their struggles, and help them grow. He has a knack for breaking down complex movements and explaining them in a simple way that sticks

I play Men’s tennis tournaments in Canada and have been working with Anirudh to improve both, my on-court skill and off-court tennis-specific fitness. His knowledge of body mechanics is like nothing I've seen before, and it’s made a huge difference in my game. His methods are extremely effective and personalized. If you’re looking to take your tennis game to the next level, I’d definitely recommend working with him!

Testimonial

Where do I even start with Anirudh? From the moment I met him, it was clear he’s one of the most pleasant, well-mannered, and genuinely good-hearted people I know. His smile is contagious, and he’s always calm and supportive. I had the chance to coach him for two years in India, help him with his match play in Europe, and mentor him as he transitioned into coaching. It didn’t take long to see that he had a real knack for understanding the game and the biomechanics of modern tennis. For the past couple of years, Anirudh and I have been working on the Discover Your Tennis program, helping players with on and off-court technical, tactical, and mental support, along with a muscle testing program that’s kept many players injury-free. Anirudh has a clear vision for developing young players and guiding them through the ITF to senior tennis. He also worked with me in Hong Kong on the talent ID and mini tennis program, showing his range of skills in nurturing talent. What sets Anirudh apart is his ability to truly invest in the process of building a player. Coaches who just coach are everywhere, but finding someone as dedicated as Anirudh is rare.

Anirudh’s unwavering belief in my abilities, combined with his strategies and patience, transformed my mindset and gave me the confidence to face tough matches. I’m incredibly grateful for his dedication, patience, and ability to inspire. He has been a game-changer in my tennis journey and my personal growth
