Private Tennis Lessons & Coaches in Granite Quarry, NC

For over 30 years, tennis has been an integral part of my life, encompassing roles as a junior and adult player.

Hi, I’m Ava Hrastar—a current professional tennis player and recent Division I college graduate(Auburn University) with about 15 years of experience on the court. Tennis has been a lifelong passion, and through years of training, competing, and growing as an athlete, I’ve developed not only my game but also a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed—both physically and mentally. I’m excited to share that passion and knowledge with others.

"Ava's lesson was quite effective. Her attentiveness stood out, and her instructions felt clear and confident, making me feel optimistic about getting back in the game. Still, I hope we can continue to improve my front, backslice, and serve as we go along. If you're after a coach who really pays attention to the details and keeps lessons engaging, Ava might be worth trying.

TJ brings over 15 years of experience across high school varsity teams, recreational programs, camps, and clinics in the UK and the US. In the UK, he coached in Cambridge, London, Essex, and Wiltshire, while his US coaching journey spans New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. With a strong foundation in both American and British sports environments, he offers a versatile, adaptive coaching style that supports players' growth at all levels.

"Tj's lesson focused on practicing forehand and backhand, which I appreciated since it helped reinforce my basics. Still, I think doing more of the same could be beneficial, maybe mixing in some variety later. But overall, it was quite helpful, and I’d suggest giving Tj a try if you're looking to refine fundamentals.
