Former WTA World Number 4 and Grand Slam Finalist, currently the United States Federation Cup Captain and television commentator.

“Harold Solomon was my coach throughout the most successful five years of my professional tennis career, during which I was ranked number 4 in the world, won an Olympic Gold Medal and was a finalist at both the French and Australian opens. His mentoring both on and off the court was essential to my success. Harold Solomon has a unique ability to combine his experience as an all-time great player with his outstanding technical and communication skills. Harold has a brilliant tennis mind, and is certainly one of the best tennis coaches in the world.”

"I had the great pleasure of working with Harold Solomon during formative stages of my career and I considering him to be one of the truly great coaches in the world. It is a rarity to have a single coach that you can have unwavering confidence in their ability to lead and teach you the full array of skills needed to reach one's potential athletically, emotionally, and most importantly personally.  Harold Solomon is one of the few tennis coaches that understands technique, fitness, psychology, and how they all interplay in order to help a tennis player reach his/her potential.  I have been involved with Harold for over 20 years, he has been at various times my coach, mentor, advisor, and now a friend. I still enjoy picking his brain on everything from the match I am about to broadcast or the inner workings of the ATP World Tour which I now help to run, but Harold Solomon helped create.  You will not find a finer tennis mind or person in tennis than Harold Solomon."

“After being injured for more than a year, I went to Florida to train. Liam Smith made me work hard and helped me to stay motivated and work hard on specific areas of my game during this difficult period and long road back to my best tennis. Liam Smith is very dedicated and this inspired me to work hard on the court and rebuild my confidence. He is knowledgeable and most importantly, understands that a player can be very talented, but cannot reach their full potential without putting in the hard work and quality hours on the practice court.”

Pat Etcheberry

Legendary Tennis Physical Conditioning Pioneer & USTA Consultant

“I have known and worked with Liam Smith for many years. He is extremely hard working and knowledgeable, and is an exceptional coach. Liam combines his unique understanding and knowledge of the game with his experience in the physical conditioning training specific to tennis. He has worked with and helped develop many players guiding them to achieve their goals. I can highly recommend Liam Smith and I have always enjoyed working in collaboration with him.”
