Good to Great Tennis Academy is a tennis academy and training center in Danderyd, Sweden. It was founded in 2011 as the country's first tennis academy. [1]

History

The Academy was founded in 2011 by Nicklas Kulti, Magnus Norman, and Mikael Tillström. [2] [3] In an interview with Tennis.com, Norman stated, "We want[ed] to build our own center, where the only focus is on developing future Top 100 players, no recreational players, only high performance." [4]

Originally, the Academy rented space at SALK Hall  [ sv ] in Bromma. [5] However, in 2017, the Academy opened its own facility, named Catella Arena, in Danderyd. Catella Arena includes seven indoor and seven outdoor tennis courts, as well as a gym, restaurant, and student accommodations. [6] [7]

In November 2023, the Academy hosted the Good to Great Challenger on the ATP Challenger Tour. [8] [9]
