About Giavara Tennis
The Giavara Tennis Academy is dedicated to the development of high level junior players whose goals are to compete at the college level and beyond. Our philosophy is grounded in optimum technique. Everything must be in place for when the student is in the higher age groups. We pay no attention to rankings in the 12’s and 14’s age groups. It is all about hitting a big ball and developing the right way. We have found an inverse relationship between the rankings in the lower age groups and the rankings in the 18’s when this all matters. This philosophy is why our students dominate the later age group.
Haley Giavara’s Incredible Year
Congrats to Haley Giavara as she led the CAL Bears to the Pac-12 Championship. Playing #1 singles Haley defeated UCLA #1 player and CAL defeated UCLA.
It’s been an amazing year and half for Haley. She jumped to a career high #650 on the WTA singles rankings. She had 5 wins over top 200 WTA ranked singles players. She was the 10th highest ranked American junior on the WTA singles rankings. As a freshman at Cal Berkeley she was the #1 singles and #1 doubles player and was named NCAA All-American for singles. Only 20 Division One players received All-American status and only 3 freshman. She was ranked #12 in the country Division One and had 4 top 10 wins. She finished her junior career as a Blue Chip recruit and was as high as #9 in the nation in her class.

United States Air Force Academy – Congrats
It’s with great honor that I was able to send two of my students to play college tennis at the United States Air Force Academy. Both Jack McCullers and Alexandra Kou excelled not only on the court, but also through out their four years at the school. Both could have gone to a list of D1 colleges however they chose to attend the USAF Academy. They became leaders and officers in the United States military. Congrats to both.
