Melanie Roy

My name is Melanie. I started playing tennis when I was about 5 years old. At age 14-15 I was ranked in the top 10 best players in Canada and top 4 in Quebec. At age 17, I accepted a tennis scholarship at Northwood University in West Palm Beach Florida where I spent 4 years playing tennis and studying International Business.

In 2005-2006 I worked at Evert Tennis Academy as a tennis coach in Boca Raton, Florida where I taught tennis to many good American players.

From 2006-2008 I taught tennis at Sani Sport Brossard in Quebec where I taught all kind of different players such as adults, kids teenagers a competitive youth.

For the past 15 years, I have been working for the federal government in Ottawa, Canada.

I still teach tennis part time at the Rideau tennis club in Ottawa and teach private lessons in the summer time to adults and youth.

I am a very active person, I love travelling, working out, and living an healthy life style.

In 2024, I started playing pickleball and teaching private lessons and group lessons. In the past few years pickleball became a very popular sport and I found that I enjoy it as much as tennis. 

I have been playing and teaching at the Rideau tennis club for the past year.

Cheers and hope to see you there in the sun!
