Would you take online tennis classes from tennis legends such as Andre Agassi, Serena Williams, and Maria Sharapova?

Tennis lessons offered by these legends are 1 to 2 hours in total and don’t cost that much. In fact, it costs about the same as hiring a coach for an hour or two but you will be learning from players who have won grand slam tournaments.

Udemy – Learn from Champion Andre Agassi

Andre Agassi offers online tennis lessons at Udemy.com. The course –Elevate Your Tennis Game: Learn from Champion Andre Agassi is 90 minutes long and touches on the basics of the game.

Masterclass – Serena Williams

Another platform offering classes from experts is Masterclass.  Serena Williams teaches tennis lessons on Masterclass.

The Skills – Maria Sharapova

Maria Sharapova is not only a tennis instructor on the platform, but she is also the chief athletic.  The platform is new and doesn’t have the breadth of courses like other platforms.

Making the best of online tennis classes

No substitute for on-court time

Let’s be honest. There is no substitute for time on the court.  Online lessons give you tips but still need to spend time on the court to improve your game.

Take notes

Online classes may only be a couple of hours but there are nuggets of wisdom you will want to write down.  That way, you can review them and put them to practice on the court.

Review lessons

Online learning platforms give you lifetime access to the courses.  Review the lessons every few months to get the most out of them.
