What Coaches & Players Are Saying:

“I find Malhar’s newsletter valuable. As a player constantly trying to improve and perform better, his information is easy to follow. And I always take away things to work on and implement into my matchplay and practice.”

Atagun Bensan

Managing Director at Grant Samuel

“Enjoying reading this. Malhar distills information from researchers, coaches, and mental performance and presents it in a way that I can try to use in my practice and tennis. Very happy to read it every week and always leave feeling optimistic.”

Daryl Dusheiko

Chief Solutions Architect at Sato Vicinity, Passionate Coach, and Tennis Player

“Players will be able to tell right away that something is different about Malhar's approach, which sets him apart from many other high-caliber coaches. I think that difference stems from his own education as a coach, his knowledge of learning and motor skill development, and his own drive to continuously improve, which manifests as concrete results in his players. He identified specific details in my stroke and distilled the necessary improvements into three actionable points that helped me become a better player.”

Yong Bakos

Professor, NTRP 4.0 / UTR 6 player

“As a college coach, we are always looking for ways to help our players improve. Malhar’s knowledge and analysis will be a big factor in our team’s success now and in the future. We look forward to watching our players develop even faster with his help.”

Derrick Taylor

Head Coach of Men's & Women's Tennis, Wingate University, Nationally-Ranked Top 10 NCAA Div. II Programs

“When Malhar pointed out my issues on my serve... I was surprised. I've always struggled with having a powerful serve. And now I have a practice plan in place to make it better. He can help, whether you are a beginner or even more advanced and pro.”

Jamie Lau

WTA #1544 Singles

“Malhar’s newsletter and coaching has given me the structure and guidance on what I need to change to reach a higher level. As a coach myself, I recognize quality coaching when I see experience it. I look forward to his newsletter every Monday!”

Axel Jung

PGA-Certified Golf Pro & Tennis Fanatic

“Technical expertise. I'm looking to maximize my game in every way and working with Malhar has helped me clean up my one-hander and also my serve mechanics. I was surprised how much detail he was able to provide. But it was simple enough for me to understand. I recommend him to all levels of player. I'm hitting better now because of our sessions”

Adam Taylor

ATP #207 Doubles

“I started with Malhar about 2 years ago, starting from scratch. I feel I’m now at a high intermediate/lower advanced level with a very solid grasp of the fundamentals and efficient technique. Malhar is an outstanding coach. I particularly loved his fact-based, almost scientific approach to teaching, stemming from his own education and career to date. I won’t go to another tennis coach after Malhar as I don’t think I’ll find someone with his expertise and teaching style again. Cannot recommend him highly enough. And you can essentially get his coaching through this newsletter!”
