About Me

I began playing tennis at the age of 5 in Morocco and turned professional at 18. After my professional playing career, I transitioned into coaching, spending five years coaching in Morocco before relocating to Vancouver, Canada, where I coached with Tennis BC.

I coach players of all levels, from beginner and club players to high-performance and competitive athletes. My coaching philosophy focuses on strong technical foundations, tactical understanding, and building positive, trust-based relationships with my players. I believe clear communication and individualized development are key to long-term improvement and success. Outside of tennis, I enjoy playing padel and soccer.

My family is relocating to Guangzhou, China in August 2026. Ideally, I am looking for coaching opportunities in Guangzhou, but am open to other cities if it is the right fit.

Testimonial

I had the pleasure of working with Mehdi during his time as a coach with Tennis BC, and he was a valued member of our program. He brought a strong understanding of the game to every session, with a particular strength in developing solid technique. Mehdi was skilled at breaking down strokes into clear, manageable steps and helping players build strong fundamentals that supported long-term improvement. He created a positive, motivating environment while maintaining high technical standards, and his professionalism, reliability, and commitment to player development made a real impact. I would confidently recommend him as a tennis coach.
