"“I started off as a complete beginner. I didn’t know how to hold a racket or hit a backhand and forehand. Rishil taught me everything from scratch and within 2 weeks I was able to start rallying. I improved a lot under Rishil and after his coaching I was able to sign up for adult leagues and play matches. He is a wonderful coach!”
