Our Philosophy - The Harry Hopman Method Harry Hopman, who won seven major titles, was a skilled professional tennis player. He made a name for himself as the most successful Davis Cup captain of all time, piloting Australia to win 16 Davis Cups between 1939 and 1967. He continued on to coach many tennis champions, including John McEnroe, Vitas Gerulitis, Rod Laver, and John Newcombe. With his focus on fitness, Hopman trained his players and guided dozens to extremely successful professional careers. The very same inspiring drills, techniques, and strategies created by Hopman continue in the daily tennis program. Your enjoyment, fitness, and personal high-performance sports training are the key goals of Saddlebrook Tennis.
