Sahaja Yamalapalli

About

I’m Sahaja, and for me, tennis is really about the daily process - not just the wins. What I bring as a coach comes straight from my own life as a pro on the international circuit. The grind, the setbacks, and the comebacks have all shaped how I see the game. I focus on hard work, mental strength, and a full-circle approach, because what you do off the court (like how you eat or if you meditate) matters as much as the hours on it.

What You Get With Me

• All my coaching is built from current, real pro tennis training experience. I don’t teach out of a textbook.
• Technique is huge. We drill your forehand and backhand, sharpen volleys, and break down footwork until it’s second nature.
• I’m big on mental toughness in tennis. Meditation and visualization are tools I use myself and teach to help you handle pressure and come back after tough losses.
• Match strategy is a must. I’ll show you how to adjust your game for singles or doubles, play aggressive, and actually think your way through a match - not just react.
• I run group sessions for juniors too - it’s my way of giving back and showing what’s possible for Indian tennis.

A Bit About Gear

Choosing the right racket and strings really does make a difference. I play with a Yonex Ezone 98 and Polytour Pro strings for control and power, and I can help you find what suits your style.
