Meet the ProShop Team

I believes every player is different in terms of technique, physical skills, and determination. “My job is to help players find their own style and try to develop it to its full potential for ideal results. I believe Tennis is a unique sport that contributes and improves skills not only related to the sport but also as a person.”

Since 2017, I has been an integral part of TennisGear, bringing my expertise and passion to our Pro Shop. I am a dedicated to providing players with the best equipment and support to enhance their game and overall experience. At our Pro Shop, we share our philosophy of making life fun in a healthy, social way through tennis. Whether you’re looking for the latest gear or expert advice, I and the Pro Shop team are here to help you find your own style and enjoy the game to the fullest.

Originally from Germany, I am passionate about customer service and tennis. Having been a Superleague player at Tennis Gear, I now proudly work as an employee here. I initially came to Australia as a backpacker and have since made it my permanent home. I am always eager to help and provide assistance whenever needed. Whether you’re looking for advice on tennis or our products, feel free to reach out—I’m here to make your experience enjoyable and informative.

Jacqui has been with TennisGear for 2 years working across all centres. Jacqui is currently studying to become a chiropractic practitioner and spends most of her time either on the court playing or coaching. Jacqui has always played tennis and seeks to give her customers the best experience and advice when visiting Morningside Tennis Centre.

My whole life I have been heavily involved in sports, my main sport being hockey. However, I love playing tennis for fun and you’ll catch me watching the Australian Open with my friends each year on TV! I am keen to have a chat with customers and help in any way I can.
