Timur Serebrennikov - Tennis Coach

Sankt-Petersburg
Russia

With over 30 years in tennis as a player, coach, and manager, I have developed a systematic and strategic approach to athlete development. I specialize in working with junior players who aspire to reach the international stage, helping them build a solid technical foundation, tactical awareness, and mental resilience — qualities essential for consistent success in high-level tennis.

My primary mission is to guide players through the crucial transition from junior tennis to the professional tour, ensuring a smooth and successful pathway into the world of professional competition.

Throughout my career, I have worked with athletes of all levels, from beginners to internationally ranked juniors. Early in my career, I co-founded a tennis academy that grew to more than 300 active students. In this role, I designed and implemented training systems, development programs, and a model of player growth that combined an individualized approach with professional standards.

My goal is not only to prepare athletes for high performance on the court but also to shape strong individuals who are confident and capable of meeting challenges both in sport and in life.
