"Coach Kedar’s lessons are fast paced and well planned. He keeps us on our toes all throughout which is good preparation for real match play. He works with our weaknesses and turns them into strengths. 2 hours flies by fast because of the fun environment."- Amartya Sethumadhavan
"Everything I've learned on and off the tennis court is because of Kedar Sir. He was so much more than just a coach to me - who made me fall in love with the game. Whether it be our tennis or fitness lesson, Kedar sir was very particular in what he expected out of his students. He cares dearly for them and always puts in his 110% to help them excel in the game. I was really fortunate to have the opportunity to have trained under him for 10 years before he left for Singapore. The lessons he taught me on and off the court will stay with me for life whether it be how to be mentally strong or anything related to the game itself. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he's done for me, for the game, and the impact he has had on my life! Thank you for everything sir and I'll see you soon."- Anmol Kothari

"There are good coaches and great coaches. Kedar is a great coach who inspires his students to greater heights. Coach Kedar has developed many players from aged group champions to US full tennis scholarship holders and aspiring pros. A very knowledgeable master coach always willing to share interesting insights on tennis. On a personal note, he helped me improve my playing technique. I now engaging more of my body and playing effortlessly. You are great in making the changing process easier and enjoyable!- Weping
"Kedar is an excellent tennis coach and one of the best tennis coaches you can find in Singapore. He is equally good with kids and adults and tries his best to ensure his students achieve their maximum potential based on their Skillset and level of play. He is patient with the students and focuses on improving their game playing ability through a combination of drills and game play. I would highly recommend Kedar as a tennis coach."- Anand Makhija
"I highly recommend working with Kedar, especially to ambitious players who really want to push themselves and take their game to the next level. He brings a wealth of experience across technical, physical and psychological areas of the game from his years as a professional player, and continues to play at a high level today, which really differentiate him. Thanks to Kedar I have a newfound love for tennis after putting down my racquet for almost 20 years, and today it’s that hour on the court which I look forward to most."- Shaun
"Kedar is an exceptional coach who has totally transformed the way I play tennis. Apart from his strong playing ability (expected from a former ATP ranked player), he has a solid technical background, a keen eye for detail, but most importantly, he is able to teach well and caters his method of instruction to the needs and ability of each player.
I started taking coaching lessons from Kedar in Feb 2019. At the time, I had already been playing tennis for 10 years on a consistent basis and had decent strokes (or so I thought). However, with his help, I was able to significantly improve every single one of my shots - the big difference with Kedar is, I was able to improve each area in a relatively short period of time. One example to illustrate this: my forehand has always been my stronger shot but I had a habit of “slapping” the ball. Whilst this gives a lot of effortless power, it can be inconsistent especially when under pressure. One day, Kedar made a comment that I really ought to re-work my forehand to incorporate more topspin. Upon hearing that feedback, I was very hesitant. He was asking me to sort of reinvent my only strong shot and I felt it was risky to do so. But yet I knew he was right, and I trusted his judgement, experience and ability to instruct, and so I decided to take the plunge.
We went right back to basics to reinvent my forehand. Many sessions following that were spent on the half court honing the new forehand to generate spin and feel (making me feel like a true beginner all over again…). The next few months were difficult as I was in-between the old and new forehand; match play was a mess. However, despite all this, I knew I was on the right track and repelled any feelings of discouragement. By the end of the 3rd month, the dividends started to pay off. One year on, I have a new forehand which is far more effective and consistent than the old one, even under pressure. This new forehand is a testament to Kedar’s technical knowledge and ability to teach and instruct using the right methods and drills. We also spend time discussing the tactical aspects of playing singles and doubles. This portion has been a real eye opener for me. Our discussions range from the patterns of play that one can/should use, to the right/wrong shot selection. Whenever we work on improving particular stroke or serve or adding more variety to my shots, he makes it a point to teach me how to incorporate it tactically in match play. "- T Ong

He observes matches and continuously tries to give suggestions on how shots can be better played. Coach Kedar is also a trained nutritionist and has given us useful tips on an appropriate diet that is working well for my son. He enjoys his lessons and has a very good rapport with his coach."- Jita Basu[parent of Amartya Sethumadhavan]

"My two children, Tvisha (14yrs), and Ronav (9yrs) train under the guidance of Coach Kedar. My wife and I had been searching for a coach for several months as we wanted our children to pursue tennis competitively. We found out that Kedar clicked with the kids. They have been with Kedar for more than a year and their Tennis and fitness has improved significantly. They now play junior competition tennis and love it.
His knowledge and passion for tennis clearly shines through and he cares deeply about each student. Finding the right fit for my kids and their coach is extremely important to me. Now that we have been with Kedar, I can’t imagine another suitable coach for them."- Ranjith Kumar[parent of Tvisha and Ronav Ranjith]

"Coach Kedar has been training Kartik from 2020. He has been instrumental in developing Kartik’s game to what it is today. Coach Kedar’s sense of discipline, unique style of coaching and logical approach really works positively in bringing out the best in the player. He has immense knowledge of the game and keeps reading new materials and helps his students understand the game better and also develops them as players, both on and off the court. His emphasis on hard work makes the students push themselves and be self-driven. He always reiterates the importance of both the fitness and the mental aspects to the game. His nutritional guidance is excellent and it has helped Kartik make some good choices."- Priya Sivaramakrishnan[parent of Kartik Ramachandran]
"Kedar’s approach to teaching tennis is a breath of fresh air; where most coaching places seem to be just going through the motions, Kedar takes a holistic approach to teaching kids – its not just about the tennis skills but also the overall physical and mental development of the child. To add to that, he is a straight shooter who lays it out as it is – tough but fair! I also find useful the long term planning approach to tennis for the kids, so at the very outset, the goals are set and the path to achieve them is clearly laid out. Importantly, Kedar takes a personal interest in each student and goes out of his way assist with the overall development while also offering advice sharing & connecting with his ecosystem of tennis and athletic development. I am happy to strongly recommend Kedar to all aspiring tennis stars – as long as you’re ready to put in the work, you’d be hard pressed to find a better tennis coach and consultant."- Manish Dahiya[parent of Suhana Dahiya]
