Saul Toniolo – Tennis Coach
I grew up in a tennis club run by my family, where my father worked as the main tennis teacher, collaborating with the Italian Tennis Federation and with internationally recognised coaches.

My passion for tennis started very early. I have been involved in competitive activities since I was a child, arriving among the first players in Italy at youth level and later reaching semi-professional level.

Tennis has always been a big part of my life and I started teaching very young in addition to studying, and graduate from the University of Sport Sciences in the city of Turin.
I have also trained in the best tennis institutes to deepen my knowledge. I have been lucky enough to collaborate with international level coaches and learn a lot from them.

A former competitive player, very knowledgeable on a theoretical level, he knows how to understand the characteristics of this sport tactically and strategically.

Testimonial

I cannot exaggerate how my all round tennis game has improved since I have had coaching from Saul Toniolo. I live in Ireland but travel to Tenerife every few months for 1-2 weeks of coaching. Saul is technically very skilled but also has a great balance of patience and strong encouragement, which gives me confidence to embrace his teaching. My ground strokes, slice, drop shot, volley, serve, court positioning have all improved greatly under his direction. We also have fun playing points but with a keen competitive spirit. Saul is a very genuine person and sincerely wants you to do well and invests so much in you to gain that improvement. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Saul who is an exceptional tennis teacher and I am already planning my tennis training trip with him in early 2024.
