"Ashwin is a great person and coach. He always will uplift you with a smile or words of motivation. He is a great person and always amazing to be around. He has been practicing/playing tennis for many years now and is very talented. I would want him as my coach any day of the week!!!!

Hi there! I’m Julian Lopez, a professional tennis coach who’s spent the past 35 years coaching and mentoring. My players have ranged from beginner, competitive junior, college, ITF and the tour. Over the last few decades, I’ve been honored to follow their journeys - even watching some become tennis pros and coaches themselves! I played for Oral Roberts University and when I had the opportunity to turn pro, I jumped at it. It was a decision I’ve never regretted. I’ve been privileged to make this amazing sport my career and I’m passionate about making tennis accessible to anyone who wants to learn. My approach - keep it simple and keep it fun. It’s all about building a strong foundation from the ground up. STAY TOUGH and I’ll see you on the court! 👊🎾"
