Andrea
Sophie is a talented 16-year-old tennis player who is making impressive strides both nationally and internationally. She started playing with Stefano Zambelli who introduced her to performance tennis and continue to work with him at regular intervals.
In less than 1 year Sophie developed her tennis physical and technical skills and started playing tournaments in the LTA circuit under 12.
Quite quickly she achieved good results and was able to increase her ranking enough to join GRADE 3 tournaments.
Overall we are very happy with Stefano’s results and his knowledge and commitment in teaching tennis.
Competing regularly in LTA tournaments, she has secured a spot among the top 100 U16 players in the UK, currently ranked 82nd, reflecting her dedication and growing prowess on the court. Recently, Sophie has begun to expand her competitive experience by participating in ITF tournaments, where she showcased her potential by winning her first J30 title in Villa St Vincent this summer. With her commitment, strong competitive edge, and passion for the game, Sophie is a promising young athlete on the rise.

Stefano has helped me elevate my tennis to the next level. I had been playing for many years, but was making some errors that led to inconsistency in my play.
Stefano helped me break down those mistakes, understand them and correct them through technique practice. He has an understanding of sport psychology and helped me gain confidence in my tennis.
He is also plugged into the broader professional tennis circuit and brings the latest innovations to our lessons.
I haven’t had an instructor like Stefano before and I’m very happy to see my improvement and get to enjoy the game like never before.
Stefano is a real professional and I highly recommend working with him!

Stefano Zambelli is a fantastic tennis instructor and my daughter Annie adores his lessons.
She has improved so much since Stefano stepped in. Stefano is always kind and flexible to accommodate his pupils’ busy schedules.
He is patient, enthusiastic and his teaching method is extremely effective! I couldn’t recommend him more.

I met Stefano while searching on Google to get my daughter to play tennis in London. Stefano was immediately available to help me organize the trip from Italy. Playing tennis in London has made my daughter's trips very special. Stefano is a truly professional, patient coach who takes care of many details having a technical knowledge gained with many years of experience in the field. I recommend all tennis players if you are in London to take a lesson from Stefano!

Stefano is a great coach.
When I started my program with him, I had recently gotten back into tennis and he’s really helping me find my game.
Each practice is unique and highly motivating as we work together to improve my skills and technique.
His teaching is very dynamic: he’s always listening to my feedback, helps me understand my mistakes and gives me great references to correct them.
He also has a brilliant understanding of the mind side of the game and is helping me work on my confidence on court.
He brings incredible experience from the professional tennis world, and I feel very proud to be part of his Academy and share this great passion with him as we continue to work together.

I am incredibly happy with the progress that I have made since working with Stefano and this is reflected in the results that I have seen in my own game.
After every lesson I feel like I am continuing to improve both my technique and strategy, while actively implementing the work we do in practice during my matchplay. He would absolutely push me all the way to make sure I always play my best tennis. He’s been able to help me gain more focus and consistency on my strengths and weaknesses on court, and only a few months after we have been working together, I won my first ladies tournament.

Michele
My name is Michele Di Tommaso, I am 24 years old, and I have been a competitive tennis player for more than 14 years. My current ranking is 3.2 (Italian ranking)
I moved to London in September 2023 for study and work reasons, but always with the thought and determination to continue on my tennis growth path.
I was lucky enough to meet and start collaborating with Coach Stefano Zambelli last December.
It was one of the best choices I could have made. The attention to detail, the meticulous planning and the intensity of each workout are allowing me to best carry out my competitive career.
