Matt Pressman has an extensive background in tennis and the magazine industry. Pressman launched Florida Racquet Sports, LLC and acquired Florida Tennis magazine in 2023 to expand both the print publication and its digital presence.

In his teenage years, Pressman was a standout junior player who lived and trained at the Harry Hopman Tennis Academy at Saddlebrook Resort in the Tampa area. That was his introduction to Florida tennis and he was hooked.

After his time at the academy, Pressman flew back to his snowy home in Connecticut to train with Brian Barker — former coach of world no. 4 James Blake. Pressman’s high school team went on to win the Connecticut State Championship. 

Soon after, Pressman received a Division 1 athletic scholarship to attend the University of Connecticut where he served as captain of the men’s tennis team. At UConn, Pressman was also honored as a Big East Academic All-Star.

Earlier in his career, Pressman worked at a number of magazines in New York City including Men’s Fitness and Quincy Jones' Vibe magazine where he served as Associate Publisher. To learn more about his story, visit here.
