Nice local store that focuses on all things tennis. Good selection of rackets, sneakers/tennis shoes and clothing. The guy who works there is friendly and very knowledgeable. Pricing is fair and even some great items on sale. I definitely recommend this place and love seeing a local business like this. read more

Total Tennis - Tennis Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I have never written a YELP review but after the outstanding customer service I received, I felt I had too especially after seeing a negative review. If more retailers offered this level of service & expertise customers would enjoy shopping in-store again. Phil was extremely helpful, I received a topspin lesson and tested three rackets. I ended up buying one racquet and returned to NYC. After playing with it I had a problem and they were so gracious in allowing me to return the racquet to see if they could correct the problem, which they did and shipped it back to me at no charge. With the struggles small businesses are facing due to COVID it's so important to support businesses that look out for their customers. If you are ever in Sarasota & you must shop here for all your tennis needs. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great, family run business! Excellent customer service and very knowledgeable staff. Support local!

Outstanding customer service during recent purchase of a new racket... Professional, courteous, informative, including sharing information on the local tennis scene, lessons availability, area tennis courts, etc. Thank you Jim and Jason for your time and to owner Jeff too, for running a GREAT business!u read more

I'm surprised by the negative reviews! I didn't want to drive all the way to Dick's so I stopped by Total Tennis in search of a new racket and pair of shoes. The staff was knowledgable and polite and I was extremely happy to find they have 2-day trial periods for tennis rackets so you can try out a few models to determine which is best for you. read more

I just remembered why I never go in there. Just terrible service. They will not even look you in the eye. They are rude. They have no sizes that fit normal people. Everything is XXL or small. Their shoes selection is minimal at best and they have no inventory. Don't bother going in this place. Just terrible. I don't know how to emphasize that more... read more

Stopped in to get a racquet regriped. My first visit given I've been away from tennis for years. Jim interrupted a stringing to do it to save me a return trip. I didn't ask, he just offered. Not a huge deal but the kind of customer service that too often is lacking. Tells me a lot about the retailer. read more

Overpriced and very poor customer service. They get away with many of their business practices because they were the only game in town for many years. I recommend the other tennis stores in Bradenton or Tampa (both excellent to deal with). Recent experience using a demo racquet was horrible. We thought we would give them another try despite past history and unfortunately, it was a big mistake. This was so disappointing. I always prefer to shop with local businesses but this was strike three and I will NOT give this store ANY BUSINESS. I ended up purchasing four racquets, six cases of tennis balls, and a reel of string from a different store so they lost a good customer. read more

I believe in trying to do business locally. I know I appreciated it when I was in business myself. I have had my rackets strung at Total Tennis for the past year. They act like they are doing you a favor and you are bothering them to do business there. They really need some lessons in basic customer service. I would recommend you shop elsewhere. read more

Extremely wonderful service! Very informative on my needs for a racquet. They suggested to demo a racquet before purchasing, didn't know there was such a thing, took racquets that the staff suggested and was very pleased, plus your demo fees come off the price of the racquet... Prices are same as Internet (I did check price of the racquet I purchased) and if price is higher at Total Tennis they will meet Internet price! Highly recommend to anyone for any of your tennis needs... Selection of tennis attire is great as well. read more

Phil is one of the greatest human beings I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Tell Epp I say hello!

Total Tennis is great. So much more than just a tennis shop, which is one of the best I have ever encountered. The clothes are terrific styles and of high quality, with lots of new inventory, so stuff is never stale. And the sales are good. The people are friendly and helpful. But what I like best is the tennis instruction. The pros, Jeff and Phil, are expert instructors and make tennis more fun than you can have on any other court. The clinics are frequent and player levels are well matched. You can't do better than this. read more

I hadn't played tennis for over 30 year when I retired to Sarasota in 2012, but wanted to get back into it, and decided to investigate a few clubs and tennis shops. Initially, I took a membership in a tennis club near to my home, but I didn't particularly like their selection of rackets and their clothing line. I found Total Tennis on line, and visited their shop one day over a year ago. I was really impressed with their selection and helpful staff. They suggested I play with several demo rackets before choosing one. I went out with one of their instructors and hit with half a dozen rackets before selecting the one I liked best. I was hooked. I began attending their clinics, one day per week at first, and now two to three times a week, and my game has improved much more quickly than I anticipated thanks to the two exceptional instructors, Jeff and Phil. I cannot recommend their shop or their teaching clinics more highly. The instruction is knowledgeable, professional, patient and a joy to experience. The shop has top quality clothing, rackets, shoes and accessories. When my membership in the other club expires, I'll just play more at total tennis. Cannot recommend it more highly. read more
