History
In 1996, Patrick Mouratoglou convinced veteran coach Bob Brett to start a tennis academy together in Montreuil, originally named the Bob Brett Academy.[1][2][3] The two partnered together for six years, with Brett teaching Mouratoglou the basics of coaching.[4][5] After Brett left the academy, Mouratoglou changed its name to the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy,[6] and it was eventually relocated to Biot, on the French Riviera, in 2016.[7][8]
The Academy hosts the Verrazzano Open on the ATP Challenger Tour and the French Riviera Open, a wheelchair tennis tournament.[9][10] It also hosted three editions of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown in 2020 and 2021.[11][12]
