TopCourt launched the next "MasterClass for Tennis"
A tennis project backed by the Bryan Brothers, Lindsay Davenport, Genie Bouchard, Sloane Stephens, and other world-class players. Tennis drills and instructions are demonstrated by some of the best players and coaches in the world. For 2021, we see even more old-school veterans and coaches are teaming up with next-gen and undiscovered raw talents.
Marriage of Tennis and Tech
The fundamental way we enjoy our sport got redefined. Indian Wells was canceled, and suddenly the tennis world found itself having a LOT of extra time on its hands. Equipped with 4K cameras, drones, and a tech-savvy team (led by Harvard and other college tennis alums) - TopCourt was born as 2020's game-changer of the year.
As the #1 TopCourt Ambassador, we offer advanced access to go in-depth with extra Q&A's on team meetings for industry insights, suggestions. It's been my goal to help reshape how the World learns and sees tennis.
TopCourt's tennis platform is designed to bring the player and fan onto each pro's tennis court.
The Hollywood production value adds to an All-Star lineup to set the new gold standard. We are excited to have access to the largest pool of 40+ online tennis stars in the world with that talent list growing every month. We will provide their latest updates and previews monthly (below).

Two main reasons why we the fans attend pro tennis events
Going to any Major like the US Open, I value these 2 bucket list experiences above all else:
1) Watching the 5th set Grand Slam match live on center court
2) Seeing and *listening* to the Tennis Pros prepare and practice from courtside
For #1, we have ESPN and Tennis Channel for all the big match coverage on our TVs.
For #2, the US Open and other big events continue to bar eager fans from their grounds.
Spector sports have been fundamentally changed. We missed all those special moments of exhibition genius and unscripted, off-camera candid insights outside the stadium. Until tournaments can safely reopen, the demand for sports experiences will be greater than the supply of limited seats for avid fans.
TopCourt's newest episodes are available now:
- Iga Swiatek (2020 French Open Champion)
- Andrey Rublev (winner of 5 Tour Titles in 2020)
- Aryan Sabalenka (Top 10 in singles and doubles)
Great Angle: the view of tennis from up close and personal
The unique first-person experience makes TopCourt so different and special. It is unlike any TV camera position. You literally feel like you're so much on the court you will get hit by the shots.
You are invited to be there as the "fly on the wall"
Overhead drone shots, intimate camera angles, and personalized commentary from the pro speaking directly to you, as if you're the only one else there. The one and the only taking the private lesson.

TopCourt offers 40+ different pros and coaches
All gathered together, then filmed and mic'd up for one reason - to show you their inner game and experiences that shaped them. Each pro has a different skillset and background. Their unique personalities make the campus of TopCourt so diverse and wide.

Upfront and Center is exactly where TopCourt puts the viewers for every video.
Watching the Lindsay Davenport documented series is like following a well-choreographed story with each chapter of her career. During her drills, you never feel the pro is holding back or the shots she explains are too imposing to try yourself. 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 is 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. Chapters are bite-sized enough to absorb a few key ideas. You feel motivated to then go out to implement, without feeling you have to binge-watch it all in one sitting.

TopCourt takes our Game Changer Award of 2020
We have been reviewing online tennis courses for over 10 years. Since the days of Fuzzy Yellow Balls, this idea of learning tennis ideas online is not new.
TopCourt kicks it up 2 notches to make it entertaining and inspiring the whole way. It is simply unmatched by the depth of the talent and quality of the footage. With each new pro that signs up, you get more value for your money with unlimited access.
If you enjoy good journalism, it's worth paying for a subscription to the New York Times or the Washington Post. If you really love pro tennis content, go with TopCourt. You won't regret it. At Tennis-Bargains, we stand by the products we recommend and hold those standards high.
Running Plays from the Pro's Playbook
On TopCourt's show court, you learn straight from the pro's own descriptions as he/she demonstrates. It covers not just the nuts and bolts technique, but also the inner intent behind maximizing each shot's potential.
On TV, viewers get fixated on a great play. Then at best, we see one slow-motion replay of the last winner. But does anyone explain the subtle mental mechanics that go into constructing that point? The scoreboard does not tell the whole story. Now, when you see that glamourous play (the Flash), you begin to recognize some of the preparation (and Dazzle) that goes into setting it up.
Beyond the Spotlight: a Human Story
Interviews conducted brilliantly and background stories that reveal the human and young person behind the superhero costumes the players wear on the court. If 2020 has given us anything, it is the appreciation for connection. This has become TopCourt's signature recipe.
Be it their parents or coaches' influence at an early age or a major turning point in their career, we see what fueled them early on. The interviews and stories on TopCourt take you beyond the spotlight. Very much like ESPN's 30 for 30 series, it adds a lot of humanity to the player's hidden obstacles encountered in their journey.
Another big bonus is that fans also get to relive the drama of their biggest wins and losses. Truer to life than any tennis biography. In this relaxed filming setting, they can speak with a little more zen-like clarity from the heart; sharing their life's ups and downs with tennis since childhood.
Away from the constant pressures of competition and probing media at tournaments probing for a sound byte or misquote, the players have the time to reflect deeply and showcase their favorite memories and moments with their fans.
Don't we all secretly want to train, feel, and hit like our tennis heroes?
For the lucky few in the crowd who managed to squeeze into a front seat at last year's US Open practice, it wasn't always comfortable. I remember waiting around P1-P5 all day long patiently in a queue. Rows of heads peek behind a wall of fans for a quick glimpse of one or two favorite stars.
Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible at these noisy events to ever catch all the tips thrown around in a drill or understand the coach's subtle advice to their player. Even when I could hear over the crowd noise and see the action, it would be really nice for once not to risk being suffocated by a giant tennis mob crowding all over you* See TopCourt's Latest trailer clips
