Matt has coached me for over 7 years. When I first started with him I was barely being picked for the Essex County team. Now I am ranked in the top 20 women in the country and have reached a career high WTA ranking of 895. In my opinion, Matt is one of the most dedicated coaches in the country and I do not think I would have achieved this much without him.
