He once coached tennis stars like Venus and Serena Williams and Andy Roddick. And the rising star shares a similarity with these legends. They were all once a part of Rick Macci’s tennis academy.

Macci has nurtured some huge tennis stars, who have taken over the tennis world with their exceptional skills and dedication. And the 22-year-old is following in the same footsteps that gave tennis some greatest sportspersons of all time.
