About us

Korolev Tennis Academy was founded in January 2018. Evgeny Korolev, our owner and director is a former top 50 ATP player (46 in the world as best ranking). He established the Korolev Tennis academy to continue his passion for the game of tennis as well as supporting the growing tennis community both competitively and socially.

After working at different tennis courts around The Woodlands area, we are happy to say that we finally found our own place. Korolev Tennis academy is building brand new facility which is located in the beautiful The Woodlands area ( for 2 years in a row, in 2021 & 2022, The Woodlands, TX was rated #1 city to live in the US) that lies within 40 minutes drive from Houston, TX. We already have 4 hard surface outdoor tennis courts, club house with spacious gym, locker rooms, study room, play room, wide patio with a view on the tennis courts and a comfortable lounge room, where you can relax and enjoy some live tennis on the TV. Our goals do not stop here as we will be working continuously to improve our facility. We plan to add more tennis courts, pickle ball courts and other amenities to make sure our members experience comfortable and diverse healthy and fun environment.

Our Mission

What They Say

We started attending Korolev Tennis Academy at the start of it in 2019. All three of my kids fell in love with the sport and were highly motivated by very professional coaches. Even though we moved oversees for a while, the kids wanted to continue training so that when we are back, they are on par with the rest. I would say that Korolev Tennis Academy is not just a place to learn a sport and be good at it, it’s a place of building a strong foundation for life skills.

As a student of the Korolev Tennis Academy I am truly touched by how good this academy is. I look forward to practice every day and this wouldn't happen if there weren't the great coaches, atmosphere, and peers around me. The coaches are unmistakably wonderful as they pay attention to my every stroke. They don't just worry about me making the ball into the dark blue on the other side of the net like most of the other coaches around here do. Instead they really care about my technique and how I am actually playing. They always give me such great advice. They always pay attention to you due to the small ratio of players to coaches which always exists. The moment you step on the court it becomes obvious that all of the coaches are really passionate about helping you become a successful tennis player. Also, not only are the coaches amazing, but so is the atmosphere and the peers that surround me. I don't know where I would be without you, but I definitely wouldn't be where I am now. Tha...
