| Vision Dr. Arun Jetli has coached tennis as a member of the United States
Professional Tennis Association (USPTA) for over 20 years. In 1984,
he combined his vast knowledge of tennis with his Ph.D. in Philosopy
to conceptualize a comprehensive training program specializing in
the development of the junior player, now widely known as Arun's
Tennis Academy. Arun’s methodology of tennis instruction evolved from the
legendary Harry Hopman - the renowned coach of the Australian Davis
Cup team, who later developed John McEnroe and Vitas Gerulaitis.
In 1976, Arun taught with Mr. Hopman at his Academy in Florida,
assisting in the coaching of many world-class players. Since moving
to Cleveland in 1980, Arun has coached scores of nationally and
regionally ranked juniors, as well as touring professionals whom
with he has traveled to such venues as Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. In any given Season, we are responsible for the development
of over 200 students enrolled here at the Academy! Many of our
students are accomplished USTA tournament players with impressive
National, Midwest and NEOTA rankings, as well as outstanding members
on their high-school teams. Why do Arun’s Tennis Academy students
surpass other junior players and continue on to reach their full
potential in later years? Just ask :
