Oļegs
Kislovs

Tennis has always been Oļegs’s favourite sport, and he played it actively from a young age.

After the birth of his twins, Oļegs wanted to introduce his daughters to tennis as well. Gradually, tennis became a shared passion for the family — his daughters learned the fundamentals of the game and later successfully participated in competitions.

For Oļegs, the most important thing is seeing his students progress. He believes that patience, a calm approach and regular practice are the key ingredients for improving one’s game.
