TENNIS ACADEMY THE THOREAU CLUB

TOMMY WU

Coach
I’m originally from Litchfield, Connecticut. I’ve been living in Cambridge, MA for many years. After graduating from St. Michael’s College, participating in both the Swimming and Tennis team, I began my tennis career at the Weston Racquet Club in 2008.
I am a USPTA certified professional with experience teaching and training players of all ages from 4 to 75 years old. I love to train technique and strategy for all levels of the game. I also enjoy improving my own tennis game.
Some years ago I injured my hitting (right) arm in a car accident. After playing on my injured arm for a while and never getting back to “normal,” I decided to make a change. I decided that if I was going to enjoy my own tennis game pain-free, that I should try to teach myself to play left-handed. I’ve been grinding away the past few years learning a new left-handed game. Learning to play with my non-dominant hand has given me a great understanding of stroke technique and player development. It’s given me a unique perspective on learning the game from the ground up.

If I’m not playing tennis then I’m probably trying to sneak in 9-holes of golf somewhere.
