I teach all styles. I like a topspin forehand and one-handed backhand, and also teach a two-handed backhand.

Manhal is not only passionate and knowledgeable about tennis, he knows how to deconstruct every swing, serve and drill resulting in absolute progress for the student. Thank you for a great instructor!!
Manhal added a ton of power and spin to my forehand in just one lesson. He definitely knows how to describe what to do when teaching you a new stroke and I had a lot of fun. I played a match today and won 6-2,6-2. I played the same guy last week before my lesson and lost 7-4,4-6,6-4 last week so I'm very happy with my lessons so far!
