Testimonial

My name is Brett Hollitt and I have worked in and around the tennis and high-performance sports industry in Australia for the past 20 years. I am writing to provide a reference for Matthew Dellavedova who I have known professionally for over three years in a management and advisor capacity. I first met Matthew when he was taking the first steps to transition out of the junior ranks into the men’s international tour. During this time, I have seen him travel overseas on numerous occasions and develop into a high-level tournament competitor. I have always found him to be well organised and to maintain a very dedicated approach to training and competition. I can confirm that ever since I have known Matthew, he has always conducted himself with a high level of professionalism. One thing is for certain, Matthew demonstrates an unwavering desire to pursue a successful professional tennis playing career. In closing, I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew for programs and opportunities in both tennis and sport.

He has represented the HEAD brand with extreme loyalty that personally is unmatched and his work ethic and endeavor to preform at his best is excellent. I can confirm that the entire time I have known Matthew that he displays an unwavering attitude to both his tennis and approach to life and his level of professionalism is a credit to himself and his parents. I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to anyone or any company that was considering a partnership or to offer him an opportunity to better perform at his chosen sport.
