Hi! I’m Ernesto, a tennis coach originally from Spain with over 20 years of experience as a player and coach. I played NCAA Division I college tennis in the U.S. and have coached players of all levels—from beginners picking up a racquet for the first time to nationally ranked juniors aiming for college scholarships. My coaching style is all about adapting to your goals—whether that’s learning the basics, improving match confidence, or taking your game to a competitive level. I focus on technique, strategy, and mindset, but most importantly, I make sure each session is engaging, challenging, and fun. Let’s hit the court and take your game to the next level!
"Coach Earnest is truly exceptional. From the very first session, he’s made tennis both engaging and genuinely fun for me. What sets him apart is his sharp focus on fundamentals—he doesn’t just let me hit balls for the sake of it. He carefully identifies bad habits, corrects my posture, and helps me build a solid tactical foundation. Every lesson feels purposeful and tailored to my improvement. Thanks to his guidance, I not only enjoy the game more, but I also see real progress in my technique and confidence on the court. I can honestly say I see myself becoming a much stronger, smarter player under his coaching.
I've had a remarkable journey in the world of tennis, having played and coached for over three decades. My tennis voyage began at the age of 12 in Bangladesh, where I participated in ITF tournaments. During my graduation & post graduation time in India, I represented my university in inter-university tournaments for six years. Upon my arrival in the USA, I continued my tennis journey in Miami, Florida, participating in various tournaments and earning a level 4 certification. Along the way, I've been coaching individuals within my local community, sharing my knowledge and love for the sport. In 2024 I stood champion in Key Gate community tennis tournaments both in doubles and singles match. I am passionate of teaching tennis now.
"Excellent attention to details. I am looking for a coach who focusses on techniques and Coach Syed did just that today. Tennis is about mastering techniques and good coaches like Syed can explain it so well that you not only understand but you can apply it as well. Thanks for today l!!
Driven by a passion for the art of tennis, I've spent the last 23 years sharing my love for the game with others. As a former college coach, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every lesson, helping players of all levels unlock their full potential on the court. Let's work together to elevate your game in a fun and supportive environment.

Miami's climate supports year-round outdoor tennis, with a long playing season that runs about 11 months on hard court and lets students lock into a steady weekly cadence. The city's coaching roster is unusually deep on competitive backgrounds: an instructor with 30+ years and an ATP Top 10-linked development path, a current ITF and Futures-circuit competitor, a former professional player, and a USTA 5.0 / UTR 8 active league competitor. That density means a Miami student can match a tennis pro to a real goal - junior tournament prep, USTA league play, college recruiting work, or first-time adult fundamentals. Most coaching happens on hard courts at public tennis centers; clay (Har-Tru) courts exist at neighborhood centers like Flamingo Park for players who want the slower-surface footwork and slide. Summer brings heavy heat plus daily afternoon storms, so most year-round students shift to early-morning and late-evening lessons June through September.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $80-$220 / lesson | Fastest improvement, individualized stroke and footwork feedback every shot. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $50-$110 / person | Spouses, friends, or doubles partners who want shared cost and shared rally time. |
| Group clinic | 4-6 students | $50-$80 / person | Lowest cost per session; high-volume hitting and live-ball drills; less individual correction. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build the foundation - grip, ready stance, forehand, backhand, and a basic serve toss. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who can rally consistently work on specific weaknesses - second serve, kick serve, backhand slice, transition game. |
| Advanced | Weekly or every 2 weeks | 90 min | USTA league, UTR, or tournament-track players - match-pattern drilling, serve-and-return work, live point play, video review. |
