Matt Steverson has spent almost his entire life in tennis: 47 years of it, in fact.
Starting as a player, he spent 3 years at Auburn University-Montgomery (AUM) in Alabama, playing for the nation’s #25 NAIA team. It was there he became involved in racquet stringing, taught by his coach.
After leaving AUM, Matt moved to the metro Orlando, FL area and became involved in tennis as a teaching pro and racquet stringer, eventually becoming one of the first USRSA Certified Stringers in 1986. At the initial GSS Symposium in 2007, he would earn his MRT status.

Curiosity about the intricacies of tennis has always led Matt to strive to learn and improve. Besides being one of only two people to attend all 10 GSS/IART Symposiums, he has worked in the tennis industry as an equipment analyst, having written equipment reviews for Tennis magazine and Tennis Express, and wrote the first equipment reviews to appear on the Tennis Warehouse site.
Today, he owns and operates Matt’s Tennis, LLC, in Altamonte Springs, FL.
