Matthew Baccarani

Tennis Director

Matt will be returning for his 8th season at Thorncliffe Park Tennis Club, bringing with him a unique blend of playing and coaching experience at the highest levels of the sport. His tennis journey includes playing Division 1 college tennis, where he achieved National rankings of #60 in singles and #4 in doubles. Before college, he was a National Champion in U18 Doubles and earned ATP points in both singles and doubles, showcasing his competitive edge on the professional circuit.

His coaching career has been equally rewarding. He had the privilege of working with Genie Bouchard during a pivotal time in her career, coaching her to her first-ever professional tournament title and contributing to her Junior Wimbledon Doubles victory. His time coaching on the professional tour enriched his perspective, allowing him to blend elite-level coaching strategies with a strong foundation of competitive playing experience.

This unique combination of playing and coaching at an All-American college level and on the professional tour allows him to bring valuable insights and expertise to every session. Matt looks forward to continuing to share his passion for tennis and help players achieve their goals.
