Gustavo Cruz

I’ve been passionate about tennis since I was 4 years old, when I first picked up a racquet with my father. That early start shaped my path — from training intensely at a top academy in Brazil at 16, to winning national Brazilian tournaments and junior titles across South America, and eventually competing professionally on the ATP Tour with career-high rankings of #1616 in singles and #1361 in doubles.

In college tennis, I made a strong mark in the U.S. — I was the national runner-up in 2019 playing for ASA Miami and became the ITA NJCAA National Champion in doubles, earning the title of best NJCAA doubles player in the country. I also served as an assistant coach at the college level, gaining valuable experience mentoring players and leading practices.

Over the years, I’ve traveled extensively for international tournaments and developed a deep understanding of the game from both a player and coach’s perspective. My highest UTR was 13.54, and I’ve been ranked as high as #9 in singles and #17 nationally during my time competing in college.

I now focus full-time on coaching and bring years of experience teaching all levels and ages — from complete beginners to high-level competitors. My approach is customized, motivating, and built around helping each student grow on and off the court.

Let’s elevate your game together.
