Hi, I'm Christoph Friedrich

My Tennis Journey

Christoph Friedrich is a German tennis player from Frankfurt who picked up his first racket at age eight. What started with school lunch-break lessons and weekend junior tournaments turned into a lifelong commitment to the sport.

After more than 15 years of competitive play, Christoph moved to New York City and spent eight years working as a tennis coach and hitting partner. His clients ranged from complete beginners stepping onto a court for the first time to former ATP top-300 ranked professionals fine-tuning their game. That breadth of experience, from first serves to tour-level rallies, shaped a practical, no-nonsense coaching philosophy.

Now based in Oakland, California, Christoph channels that on-court knowledge into My Tennis Expert, making research-backed tennis education accessible to players at every level.
