Tennis Whisperer

The United States Professional Tennis Association.

Advanced Coaching

USPTA certified pro Rob Muir is our Tennis Whisperer.  Rob is a tennis professional with 40+ years’ experience in coaching adults, junior and tournament players.

The great majority of players focus on stroke development without really understanding how to develop their own game, i.e based on their innate abilities or limitations.  And as we age, those limitations can increase rapidly, diminishing how we play — and consequently, our enjoyment of the game.

For adults, Rob’s focus is on overcoming specific weaknesses whether in technique (e.g volleys, serve) , injuries (e.g tennis elbow, mobility) as a result of playing styles or  improving strategy to enhance overall playing performance — and on-court enjoyment.

For advanced juniors, Rob’s emphasis is on building a playing style built around the individual’s strengths: e.g. superior eye/hand coordination, faster speed around the court and mental strength.  These strengths underpin the majority of successful  professional playing styles: “First Strike”, “Speed” or “Patience”. Rob has successfully coached junior players to elite nationally ranked and USA collegiate levels.

He is the author of our Ask the Pro series — see blog links below.

Jimmy, Rob’s first pupil, was a lefty with one eye and took up the game to play with his mates — yes, social interaction is another benefit of tennis. Early on, through Jimmy, Rob learned the lesson of the Peanut’s cartoon below: the impact of the dominant eye particularly on backhands.  It took Jimmy about 3 months to learn to play a set with his mates which gave them both the immense satisfaction of Jimmy being accepted by his peer group.

Rob’s playing pedigree includes Australian and USA national championships at both professional and age division levels.
