Tennis Professionals 2022

HEAD PRO: ADRIAN MONTESINOS


I'm grateful to have this opportunity to join the Calgary Tennis Club. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Sport played a big part in my upbringing and tennis was my thing from an early age. I competed throughout my junior years and then played on the satellite circuit in Australia and Europe.

My focus turned to coaching in my early twenties and I've pursued the same career ever since. I started coaching in Sydney and then moved to Hong Kong which has been my home for the past 22 years. I've run my Tennis Coaching business since 2005 to the present day. I'm a Level 2 Advanced Pro under Tennis Coaches Australia.

My hobbies include most things that keep me fit and spending quality time with family and friends.
