"I was wanting to learn how to play a more modern game with topspin and Carmen took up the challenge to change my grip on the racquet and teach me the technique of hitting through the ball with more of a back swing and follow through. I was not at all confident that I would be able to master this as I had been brought up with using a pretty orthodox flat forehand using an Eastern grip. But she succeeded and my game has improved quite a bit. I truly valued the lessons I had with her and plan to continue having coaching with her in the future. I am indebted to her brilliant coaching, I recommend her as a coach for any player of any level/ tennis standard. A fantastic coach." 

"Not only is Carmen one of South Africa's top tennis players she is also an amazing coach. Innovative and patient she will take your game to the next level. I highly recommend her as a fantastic coach."

“My sons tennis improved dramatically with Carmen from just after his first lesson. She gives great tips and tricks, which he remembers, and she knows how to keep the lesson entertaining. Her kind manner and ability to teach technical skill definitely make lessons with her a winning combo!"

“Carmen is not just a coach; she is a game changer in the truest sense. Under her guidance, my tennis skills have undergone a complete transformation, from the very basics of grip to the complexities of serving. Her approach is comprehensive and finely tuned to individual needs.”

"If you’re looking for a tennis coach, Carmen is your gal! I could barely hit a ball when I started and after the first lesson I already felt like I could try to play a little game. She is calm and professional and made me feel so comfortable on the court. I would highly recommend her!" 

"Carmen awoke a joy and a desire for running around a hot surface, chasing a dayglo fist-sized ball, and smacking it with taught style and grace over a net that's always higher than expected! You will learn to play better tennis but you will also find a tennis friend always ready to put a smile on your face in Carmen." 

"I looked forward to my regular tennis lessons with Carmen. We worked on all aspects of my game, and as a relative newcomer to tennis, she took me to the next level! I can now enjoy club league matches and social play more confidently. She herself is a surperb player and I have no hesitation in recommending her as a coach." 

"I recently had a tennis lesson with Carmen where I got more than I expected. Carmen demonstrated a thorough understanding of the game and was quick to analyse what we needed to do to make it a productive session. She was very good at conveying ideas regarding tactical play and the exercises that we did to reinforce those ideas definitely kept me on my toes and naturally flowed from one to another. That session gave me confidence in my game and I have made it to the finals of my club tennis champs so let’s hope with the pressure on, I can put into action what we practiced!" 

"Playing tennis for 30 years in Germany I can say that Carmen is the best coach I have ever played with. She has the rare skill to see exactly what you need to do to improve your game. What she says is comprehensive and plausible. Whenever I return to Cape Town I will only train with her. Jonas, 39, Hamburg, Germany." 

"Thanks for the lesson Carmen. Within half an hour you corrected my positioning on the court and perfected my cross court service returns. It helped tremendously in my matches in the ITF World Team competition. We came 4th out of 11 countries and received medals." 

"Was in Capetown for 4 weeks and had the pleasure of taking lessons with Carmen during my stay. She is an awesome, easy to work with coach and quickly finds the little tweaks that can dramatically improve your game. Found myself saying “why the hell didn’t my previous coaches ever show me this? - it makes so much sense!” Highly recommend her and wish she’d move to Canada so I could continue improving my game with her. Jason, of BC Canada." 

"Carmen is a great coach - she has astute observations to help improve your game. Within 15 minutes I could notice a difference in my consistency with ideas of where to improve. Lessons are fun with lots of playing, points and drills." 

"I can absolutely recommend the training with Carmen. She is a very good player herself and can also translate this very well into her work as a trainer. Carmen is a very positive person and I benefit a lot from training with her." 

"My tennis lessons with Carmen were the best and most beneficial and encouraging lessons I ever had. I started taking lessons with other coaches in Europe previously for a couple of times but none taught me the fundamentals so great and understandable - thus I could implement Carmens advice easily and improved quickly. But not only is she a good teacher, it is also much fun to talk and laugh with Carmen during the lessons - altogether I really miss the tennis lessons with her and can only recommend her." 

"I am a senior citizen who had never had coaching before. Carmen was patient and professional. She explained theory and then we put things into practise. I really enjoyed every lesson. So besides being a fellow Libran and therefore a really nice person, she is an excellent coach." 

"I started tennis with Carmen and within 3 months I was able to play with confidence. She teaches very good technique, has patience and I learn something new with each lesson. Would definitely recommend her as a coach." 

"I have started playing tennis again after twenty years of interruption. Carmen has been a fantastic teacher and gave me the confidence I needed to rapidly enjoy myself and improve my game. The drills and exercises are always adapted to my fitness level and fun. She alternates between teaching me new techniques and new strategies and I'm looking forward to learning more." 

"Carmen shares her extensive technical knowledge in such a relaxed way that it is almost impossible to not enjoy and improve." 

"I started off without any tennis experience late in the game (35) and after nearly two years working with Carmen I have learnt enough about the game and the technique that I am able to play and enjoy tennis. Carmen is a patient and knowledgeable coach, and most importantly makes the lessons challenging and fun. Highly recommend." 

"I highly recommend Carmen as a tennis coach. My 12 years-old son is enjoying tennis lessons and he improved a lot in techniques." 

"I thoroughly enjoyed each and every session with you as I learned something new every time. You are excellent in spotting mistakes and teaching changes that lead to an immediate fix. I always left the court satisfied. I recommend your sessions to anybody looking for coaching." 

"Carmen is an excellent coach and very patient. I had a very long break from tennis and needed to relearn a lot of technique. She is knowledgeable, friendly and very encouraging. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a tennis coach." 

"After being referred by numerous friends I started tennis lessons with Carmen and almost two years later I’m loving them more than ever. Our sessions follow a structured format building on various skills and bringing it all together in a few gruelling points at the end. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my technique and find the sessions a great form of cardio. Carmen is a patient and motivating coach who is great to be around." 

"Carmen has been coaching me for the last 5-6 years and over this time, even seeing her only once or twice a year (when holidaying in Cape Town), she has successfully totally transformed my game. Who knew that a middle aged rusty racket woman could improve so much. Carmen’s secret? So many things She is super good at breaking down shots and improving your technique step by step tactical help and game play tips are almost intrinsic to every session - really great tips to help you win, not just play well - but smart too she is really encouraging and supportive. I can thoroughly recommend Carmen. I have been lucky enough to have had coaching with many different coaches. In my opinion Carmen is the best! One of a kind!" 

"We come to Cape Town twice a year and were looking for a coach to get us back into playing. We haven’t played for 20 years and we wanted our son Felix (5yrs) to get an easy, playful start into this sport. We are so happy to find Carmen. She was really flexible with the times and so easy to communicate with. We all had a great time on the court, she drilled us on the basics so we got back 

into the swing. I had some real "light bulb" moments with Carmen including basic control, fore hand, and serving. We can really recommend Carmen and are already looking forward to our next sessions in december." Best regards from Lucerne Alex, Ben & Felix 

“I have been appreciating Carmen as professional tennis coach for the last two and a half years. I have attended several lessons with her and every time she impressed me with different suggestions that eventually proved to be very useful. She is an excellent league player too. Highly recommended!” 

Carmen is a fantastic teacher with a friendly and professional approach that has helped me improve my general game and some specific shots and aspects i needed to improve." 

"It has been a pleasure to have lessons with Carmen, who has patiently and helpfully taught me important tennis skills, always in a fun way and with a smile! Definitely recommend!" 

"I had the pleasure and the chance to have Carmen as a coach once a week during one year. She made me improve all my hits and I become a more consistent player thanks to her. I recommend Carmen for any player who would like to get better more technical and more strategical!" 

"Superslam Tennis Academy, with Carmen as founder and Chief Coach, is the best thing that has happened to me since the beginning of my „tennis-career“ 30 years ago. This is how it all began 4 years ago: Hi Carmen, I'm Jome. Would you have some time for a lesson next week? Its "only" about 2 years since I played last time!“ Since then, my tennis has only gone upwards. With Carmen's expertise and excellence I was able to correct the mistakes I had made through years of ignorance - which, by the way, were never questioned by previous coaches. Today, I am not a champion, that was never my goal, but I never had more fun playing tennis. Carmen, you are a star!" 

"Carmen was an amazing tennis coach to both my daughters. Professional, involved and a great teacher!"
