Expert Corner: Ken Crosina on Tennis

About Ken

Ken grew up playing tennis in Toronto and was coached at Mayfair Parkway by Gus Villanueva as a junior. In two years, Gus took Ken’s game to the next level as Ken finished 5th at the National Championships in back to back years. With Mayfair hosting so many high level tournaments, it was the perfect place to train for Ken and many other top ranked National Juniors.
