Ravi Anantaraman - Payer of Bills
Ravi founded SunTennis in 1999 with the simple belief that providing excellent tennis services shouldn't involve charging an arm and a leg.
He has over 36 years of experience coaching players of all ages and skill-levels.
He started playing tennis at the ripe, old age of 20 and is self-taught.
He continues to compete in tournaments on a regular basis.
Someday, he'll be as young as Alex, as accomplished as Gretchen, and as good-looking as both :)
