Champions Who Trained With Us
We do not just coach; we build competitive players. See the results our trainees have achieved in AITA, ITF, and national circuits through our structured high-performance tennis programs.
This is the dream I help my players achieve. Here is our trainee Niyati Kukreti, who rose from rank 135 to become the 4th ranked player in the U-16 AITA circuit and went on to represent India at the Billie Jean King Cup.
Niyati Kukreti's journey from rank 135 to the top 4 in her category is a testament to our structured long-term athlete development program. Under Todd Clark's mentorship, she achieved her career-high ranking and represented India in just 12 months.
We prepare our players for the international stage. Congratulations to our trainee Ishaque Iqbal for securing the runner-up position in back-to-back ITF M15 doubles events in Iran, a significant achievement in professional tennis.
Our training programs are designed to produce winners at all levels. I congratulate our high-performance trainee Suraj Prabodh on his dominant victory in both the singles and doubles categories at the Chandigarh AITA Men's 1 Lac Tournament.

Meet Mahika Khanna, one of our rising stars. Her journey from rank 15 to 7 on the AITA U-14 circuit showcases the effectiveness of our high-performance coaching.
Results speak for themselves. This timeline shows how our trainee Mahika Khanna went from being ranked 15th to 7th on the AITA U-14 circuit and won national titles, all within 12 months of joining our long-term athlete development program.
Parv Nage's incredible progress is a source of immense pride for the academy. He joined us to pursue his dream of becoming a professional tennis player.
In just over a year, Parv Nage soared from 80th to 14th on the AITA U-18 circuit, winning a National Series title and a bronze medal at the Khelo India Youth Games. This is the kind of accelerated development we focus on.
Celebrating the success of our junior players. Congratulations to Aarav Jakhar from our academy for winning the AITA Super Series U-14 Doubles tournament in Jaipur.
About Our Champions: A Legacy of Success
Our success stories are built on the Long-Term Athlete Development framework. It is not just about hitting more balls; it is about periodized fitness, biomechanical video analysis, and strategic tournament planning that pushes players like Niyati Kukreti and Parv Nage from challengers to ranked champions.
Success on the court is rarely an accident. At the Indian Tennis Academy, we approach every session with the specific intent of preparing players for the rigors of AITA, ITF, and Asian Junior tournaments.
The Path to Ranking
Whether it is Mahika Khanna’s rise on the U-14 circuit or Ishaque Iqbal’s success in ITF M15 events, our training emphasizes a few core pillars:
- Technical Precision: Led by Todd Clark, our coaches work on grip, stance, and biomechanics to ensure strokes hold up under match pressure.
- Tournament Strategy: We move beyond practice sets. We teach players how to scout opponents, manage match fatigue, and plan their annual competition calendar to maximize AITA ranking points.
- Physical Conditioning: Tennis is an athletic sport. Our programs incorporate 45 to 60 minutes of daily strength and conditioning tailored to prevent injuries and build the explosive power needed for a high-performance career.
Why Our Approach Works
Many academies focus solely on 'hitting.' We focus on building the complete athlete. Our trainees have access to video analysis to correct technical flaws and mental conditioning to handle the stress of close matches.
If you see a trophy in our gallery, it is the end product of months of early morning drills, tactical sessions, and rigorous fitness. We operate out of Modern School, Barakhamba, and our goal is to ensure that when you step onto the court, you are prepared to win.
Indian Tennis Academy
We are the Home of Indian Tennis at Barakhamba, driven by the belief that every player deserves a shot at the pro circuit. Our team, led by Todd Clark, focuses on turning raw talent into disciplined, match-ready athletes who know what it takes to win.
