Anna Shkudun Goes Pro

July 30, 2020

Dear TIA Friends & Families:

It is with great pleasure that we announce, our Academy Tennis Professional, Anna Shkudun has decided once again to pursue a career playing the pro circuit!

We are proud to support Anna’s dream and with that comes schedule changes to allow for her evening training and weekend competitions.

Now through September 4, Anna’s availability is Monday – Friday from 8:00AM – 5:00PM and on tournament weekends she will be taking Friday – Sunday off to compete. This schedule allows her time to train and prepare for tournaments. Her first UTR National Series Tournament is scheduled for the weekend of July 31 and August 7 at Tennis Innovators Academy. There may be more weekend tournaments as she develops results from the upcoming two weeks with the hope of being fully committed to the pro circuit by September 4th.

Thankfully we have a deep roster and high caliber coaching staff to take over any lessons she can no longer teach. Our Managing Director, Steve Higgins is working on the coverage and we’re confident you’ll be happy with the choices offered.

If you want to move your lessons into Coach Anna’s updated teaching schedule ( contingent upon availability ) you can certainly do so by calling our front desk, 914.428.2444, to reschedule.

On behalf of the entire TIA staff and community, please join us in wishing Anna good luck on her new journey!

Sincerely,

Cesar Andrade, Director of Operations
