About Me

I am a professional tennis player with extensive international experience, having represented multiple clubs in Greece and abroad. I currently represent one of the top colleges in the NAIA tennis league, where I continue to compete and develop my skills.

I discovered my passion for tennis at a young age and have trained in high-performance environments throughout my career. Working at Stergiou Tennis Academy as a coach and hitting partner helped me refine my coaching philosophy focusing on discipline, technique, and mental strength.

Outside of tennis, I enjoy fitness, traveling, and exploring new training methods that help players reach their full potential both on and off the court.

My goal is to reach the highest level I can as an athlete, as a coach, and as a person.
I truly love this sport, and through hard work and dedication, I aim to give back to tennis everything it has given me over the years.
Every experience on and off the court has shaped who I am today, and I’m committed to continuing to grow, inspire others, and represent the sport with passion and respect.

Experience

I have been actively involved in tennis for many years, both as a professional player and as a coach.
I currently represent one of the top colleges in the NAIA league, competing at a high level in the U.S. college system.
In Greece, I have represented several clubs both in Greece and internationally and gained valuable experience working as a coach and hitting partner, training junior and competitive players.
My experience on court has helped me develop a deep understanding of the game, from technical skills and tactics to mental preparation and performance.
