Dick Enberg, CBS Sports announcer
"As usual, Nick has shown his comprehensive knowledge of tennis and the industry in Bollettieri’s Tennis Handbook. If anyone has seen it all and done it all—and has a right to say it all—it’s my friend and respected colleague, Nick Bollettieri."
Tim Heckler, CEO of the USPTA
"Nick has successfully coached male and female beginners, intermediates, wanna-be pros, great champions, and other tennis instructors. There’s nothing left...get the book."
Vic Braden, author and tennis professional
"Nick is not just a coach, he’s also a friend and someone you can talk to. As a coach he really knows what to tell a player so that the player will be able to take the next step to be on the top. Nick has personally helped me realize that I need the small things more than the large things."
Serena Williams, professional tennis player
