World-renowned tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou and The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón have announced a strategic partnership to open the first Mouratoglou Tennis Center in Florida.
Opening in early summer 2024, the Mouratoglou Tennis Center at the Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburon will feature four outdoor tennis courts, and a diverse array of programs including summer tennis camps, a kids’ program, weekend and holiday camps, private and group lessons, as well as exclusive offerings for Ritz-Carlton guests and members such as a leagues and round robin tournaments.
Coaches will be trained in The Mouratoglou Methodology, based around the idea that every individual is unique and uses customization, adapting to each player based on their needs. This hyper-personalized approach to teaching, regardless of age or level, helps ensure that players benefit from any Mouratoglou program and improve as quickly as possible.
"Florida is, for me, one of the best tennis destinations. I have memories here with each of the players I've coached, from Serena Williams to Holger Rune. Florida's passion for tennis and its status as a sports hub (with the Miami Open) make it the perfect place for our expansion", states Patrick Mouratoglou. "The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón's commitment to excellence aligns with our vision, making it the ideal partner for this venture."
“Tennis is such an integral part of the active lifestyle that so many of our guests are drawn to,” said Jenny Piccione, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón. “Aligning Patrick Mouratoglou to bring his proven methodology to our coaches and players heightens the level of instruction."
Since 1996, the Mouratoglou Academy in the French Riviera has guided top players like Serena Williams, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune, Coco Gauff and many others. The expansion to Florida follows on the heels of successful centers and academies established in Dubai (UAE), Costa Navarino (Greece), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Sardinia (Italy), Beijing (China), New York (USA), and the upcoming launch of the Mouratoglou Academy in Melbourne (Australia) in 2027.
The choice of Florida and The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburon, as the location for the next tennis center is no coincidence. Located just three miles from the Gulf of Mexico and nestled among the native wetlands and migratory bird preserves of an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, the resort offers two golf courses, on-site spa services, and culinary experiences such as al-fresco dinner under the stars at Ría, alongside the new tennis center.
