History

In 1996, Patrick Mouratoglou convinced veteran coach Bob Brett to start a tennis academy together in Montreuil, originally named the Bob Brett Academy. [1] [2] [3] The two partnered together for six years, with Brett teaching Mouratoglou the basics of coaching. [4] [5] After Brett left the academy, Mouratoglou changed its name to the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, [6] and it was eventually relocated to Biot, on the French Riviera, in 2016. [7] [8]

The Academy hosts the Verrazzano Open on the ATP Challenger Tour and the French Riviera Open, a wheelchair tennis tournament. [9] [10] It also hosted three editions of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in 2020 and 2021. [11] [12]

International expansion

Since 2020, the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy has opened five tennis centers outside of France:
