Istanbul Racket Partnerwith Çağkan Yılmaz

Tennis & Pickleball Player | Coach

A player first. A coach who still competes.

I picked up a tennis racket at four and have played racket sports for more than 20 years. I competed in tennis, and today I also compete internationally in pickleball.

I have coached since 2018. My sessions are personal: I listen to what you want from your time on court, then build the session around it.

Some players come to learn the basics. Others want a demanding hit before a tournament. Many are simply in Istanbul for a few days and don’t want to stop playing. All of them are welcome.

How I work

  • Clear focus. We agree on one or two goals for the session.
  • Honest level check. Especially for sparring, we discuss your level in advance.
  • Everything agreed upfront. Court, time and full price before you confirm.

Your next session starts here.

Tell me when you’re in Istanbul, where you’re staying and what you’d like to play.
