About Andrew

Andrew is a racquet professional and has over eleven years of tennis experience. As of April 2023, he is among 400 people worldwide who are certified as Master Racquet Technicians (MRT) by the United States Racquet & Stringers Association (USRSA). Andrew also has Pro Tour Stringer certifications with the Global Racquet Stringers Association (GRSA) and the European Racquet Stringers Association (ERSA). These certifications prove that he meets very high standards in the racquet service industry. 

Andrew recently strung at the inaugural ATX Open WTA 250 event with renowned stringers Mark Gonzales and Josh Newton, and strung the racquets of the tournament winner, Maria Kostyuk.

As a racquet professional, Andrew helps athletes maximize their tennis potential by tailoring equipment to them based on their play style and specific needs. He focuses on details such as the appropriate type of string, tension, head size, string pattern, grip size, and how a racquet should be weighed and customized to complement a player’s style. Andrew advocates maximizing swing speed through the hitting zone and recommends players use a racquet that is light enough to maximize swing speed potential. He also acknowledges the uniqueness of every player’s racquet goals, and recognizes that there can be exceptions to what is generally recommended.  

When he is not servicing racquets, Andrew can be found rallying on the tennis court with players and coaches.
