Meet Our

Founder & CEO

“I’ve spent nearly twenty years teaching tennis, and I’ve loved this sport since I first picked up a racquet at the age of four in Madrid. But I also saw how tennis was often seen as ‘elite’ and out of reach for many families. That’s why I started United Tennis—to make the game accessible to everyone, and through our Tennis for All program, we’re opening the court to every child, teen, and adult who wants to play.

United Tennis was founded to break barriers – no matter their background or income.”
