Andrew Black - Tennis Professional

NC
USA

UNCG Division I player-coach with 6+ years’ experience. I build rock-solid fundamentals, efficient footwork, and smart percentage patterns to raise UTR and win more matches.

With juniors, I start by asking, “How far do you want to take your tennis?”—then tailor training plans and schedules to fit that goal. Ranked #79 nationally (2024). Available for privates, hitting, clinics, match coaching, video analysis, racquet stringing/customization, etc.

Proven experience coaching players of every age and skill level—juniors and adults. Based in Greensboro, focused on tennis coaching opportunities abroad.

About Me

I love traveling and sharing tennis wherever I go. I’ve visited France, England, Jamaica, Canada, South Korea, and across the U.S., and I bring that global perspective to every session.

After success in the business world during my university studies, I am focused on my true passion: coaching tennis and helping players grow through clear, practical guidance.

Testimonial

Andrew built the serve and technique side of my game to a much higher and needed level. He was extremely supportive the whole way. I worked with him for over a year, and in that time he quickly identified the flaws and key aspects of my game to improve and work on. He was always very encouraging throughout the process, and I felt like I was making real progress.

Andrew Black played a pivotal role growing our junior tennis program at Springdale Area Recreation Club during the window he worked for RDUTennis. Always on time, never missed a day of work, and made a huge impact on our children enrolled in clinics. I would highly recommend him as a coach for various levels of the game.
