About the Founder

Nick Tchernikov, the founder of Precision Tennis, was born in 1991 in Novosibirsk, Russia. He immigrated to Vancouver, Canada with his family at the age of seven. Nick started playing tennis seriously when he was around nine years old and received coaching from renowned local high-performance coach Vadim Korkh, as well as from his father, Vladimir Tchernikov.

Nick started playing competitive tennis at the age of ten in British Columbia and became one of the top players in the province. He achieved a #1 ranking in BC and began traveling around Canada and the world to compete internationally. Some of his notable achievements include winning the 2007 U16 Indoor Nationals and represening Canada in the #1 position in the U16 Junior Davis Cup.

Nick was accepted onto the University of Washington Huskies Men's Tennis team. He later moved back to Vancouver and played for the SFU Men's Tennis team. It was during this time that he started up Precision Tennis!

Over time, the Precision Tennis brand grew and the demand became overwhelming. After three years, Nick started recruiting professional coaches to help fill private lesson demand. Precision Tennis made it simpler for people to book tennis lessons online with private coaches all over the city.

Nick continues to provide guidance, feedback, and consultation to the staff of Precision Tennis to help achieve the company vision of making tennis players, and not just tennis lesson-takers.

Nick hopes to see you on the courts this season!
