TopCourt: the golden ticket for Training insights from Pros
TopCourt is the premier tennis streaming service on the market, offering an extensive library of high-quality videos. Featuring Hollywood-level production and innovative 4K camera action angles.
Experience the Presence of Masters
TopCourt allows you to learn from the best through their words, presence, and body language. Over time, you'll absorb subtle nuances and perfect techniques, bringing your skills to new heights.
Secrets you aren't shown on TV, YouTube, Live Events
As part of credential media, I've covered numerous professional events as a tennis coach and photojournalist. Most hardcore fans will not get to attend even one Grand Slam event. Watching hours of practice footage intently to catch a few seconds of magic is daunting.
TopCourt offers a unique perspective, capturing the relaxed atmosphere and intimate moments that traditional broadcasts and live events often miss.
Exclusive content and innovative camera angles bring you closer than ever to the game's top players. More than 56 tennis professional players and coaches. All showcasing their favorite drills and plays.
3 Reasons why fans still attend pro sports events
When attending Major Championships like the US Open, I value these 3 experiences above all else:
1) Matches - Watching the Big 5th set Grand Slam match live on the center court.
2) Practices - Seeing the Tennis Pros prepare with their team from the courtside.
3) Emotions - Real human joy. Sharing the thrill of victory with thousands.
Spector sports have been fundamentally changed. We missed all those special moments of exhibition genius and unscripted, off-camera candid insights outside the stadium.
TopCourt allows touring pros to share their favorite tennis drills and retell treasured moments.
Key Benefits of TopCourt:
- Hollywood-quality production
- Innovative 4K camera angles from drone shots
- Demonstrations by real professional players, not actors
- Access to over 60 professional tennis athletes and coaches
"Netflix of Raquets" – featuring top-ranked players, drills, and documentaries
Why not learn from the Grand Slam champions or World #1?
They are paid and trained to win at the top levels. Experience counts.
Mirroring proper motions will train the mind.
Don't wing it. Avoid risk of injury from improper swings or overuse
Even popular top tennis coaches preach using these tools:
- Visualization - Imagery training is vital in tennis
- Learning by being in the environment - watch the best techniques and repeat
- Mental Snapshots - freeze the action at critical points; compare with your own footage
Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket - VIP Passes
In March and October, I took the invite and attended a behind-the-scenes look at the magic that goes into making these high-quality production videos. They offer VIP events too!
The interviews are the most original and authentic looks at the players. It gives them their true voice to express memories and moments. Shared lunch with Alexander Zverev and Brandon Nakashima between morning and afternoon takes.
You realize these young men are not paid as actors. They are genuine human beings who have a passion for the game. They often surprise you with a clever thought or joke they want to share.
Hearing how they think about tennis will transform and inspire how you play your game.
Better value for your tennis education
- Train the mind before working on the body.

Perfect Practice by Pros
"Amateurs practice until they get it right.
Tennis is their livelihood. You witness the skills and trade secrets of their craft. Each player has invested years of their life in mastering their best shots.
Learn the signature shot that each teacher will be best remembered.
If pros could only share one tip with the World, what would that be?
Bruce Lee's method of "fighting without fighting."
Yes - Court time is important. Matches are Important. Practice is Important.
After learning the proper Technique, there is a time and place for mass repetition.
First, the form must be correct.
Then, Perfect practice makes perfect.
Otherwise, bad technique makes you sloppy.
A perfect complement to live coach-led instruction
Yes, having private lessons is essential for improving quickly.
Visual learners prefer to see (not hear) the steps.
Reading a book may not help you play a sport.
If kid learn faster today with video, this is clearly a better option than 24x7 TikTok exposure.
Highlight reels are just eye candy - you need real tennis education focused on experiences.
Taught by pros, demonstrated by those who do it for a living. Not YouTube influencers seeking views.
Inspiring teens with success stories
Iga Swiatek and Leylah Fernandez
Both reached their first grand slam a few months after filming. A few genuine and kind words could be all it takes to inspire a young child to work hard at tennis. Hearing someone accomplish such an incredible feat can spark priceless motivation for what is possible.
You get to learn something new from so many teachers. If you are a game fan or student of the sport, it is designed with you in mind. Anyone on YouTube can call themselves a tennis coach these days. How many ATP or WTA championship titles has your coach won?
The annual subscription is a gift of education. A much better souvenir for lasting memories than anything found at the tennis gift shop.

Close-Ups Camera Angles
The unique first-person experience makes TopCourt so different and special. It is unlike any TV camera angle. You feel like you're so close on the court that you might get hit by the shots.
I saw several times when the cameramen did get hit during one of their film operations for special behind-the-scenes peeks in March (Miami) and October (Indian Wells).
The players swing full speed at the rovers and multiple body cameras that are live filming footage on the actual playing surface. The realistic perspectives are unmatched.
Overhead drone footage, courtside camera angles, and personalized commentary from the pro speaking directly to you at home. You feel as if you're the only student taking the private lesson.
TopCourt's interviews offer the feeling of a personal conversation.
Pro players are gathered together, then filmed while being mic'd up for one reason - to show you their inner game and key life experiences that shaped them into who they are today. Viewers are offered the perspective of a "fly on the wall," - allowing home viewers to witness those rare moments.
Each tennis player/coach presents you with unique skills and training regimens. The campus of TopCourt is very diverse and cross-generational.
The edits are well done with many enhanced cues (such as the mini-court icon at the bottom revealing where the player and each ball bounce are placed).
You get the benefit of all their combined years of experience on tour, which distills differently with each pro's own style and humor in their teaching role. Front and center for every moment.
Free Pickleball Lessons - included for free
Starting in late 2022, it now includes free lessons for pickleball, too.
Featuring teachers like World #1 Ben Johns and #3 Jessie Irvine. Think of this as the new 2-for-1 racket sports library (more tennis and pickleball videos are coming).
Fun tip: pick up an Amazon paddle and dominate friends with no formal in-class lessons!
Good for parlor tricks and impressing complete strangers. Or if you need to beat them to earn your court back :)So you can share with family members who want to try Pickle, or can't play active singles - like elderly parents with mobility issues.
It's ok; we won't tell anyone if you watch along, too!
Health, movement, social interactions
For my tennis students transitioning or recovering from injury, using pickleball as a fun "mini-tennis" alternative. It's great for both kids or seniors, and equalizes the playing field to be more fun than I originally expected.
I've tried it both indoors and outdoors. It's good for working on volleys and mini-tennis. Or try cat and mouse points with beginners.
Don't even need a ping pong table. Just use the ground and a whiffle ball!
As a USPTA coach, I prefer tennis 3-4x a week. But now, I save pickle for the "social" days - or whenever I host a wide mix of ages and skills. Just stay competitive about it so that everyone can enjoy the fun. Try it with food or drinks while relaxed, with no pressure to ace someone!
