Certified Instructors
My name is Arthur Cuenco.
I am your Head Tennis Pro, Coach Developer for Tennis Canada, the United States Professional Tennis Registry, the Ontario Tennis Association, and for Tennis Quebec. I am certified in teaching Cardio Tennis and Wheelchair Tennis. I can provide programming and lessons in both official languages and am also a Pickleball Coach Developer. I have been a Registered Physiotherapist for over two decades and have a specialty in Tennis-Specific Injuries. My office is just minutes away from the club.
I have always believed that quality over quantity builds the right foundation to greatness. At General Burns Tennis Club, you are getting exactly that. The environment is perfect for the development of physical literacy for all ages. From our four tennis courts to a swimming pool, basketball, baseball, soccer, and biking paths, you have it all. It’s up to you to take advantage of these great opportunities.
Now that you have made that decision to join the club, it’s time to ensure that you play — and play properly. Our coaches will provide technical and tactical training, while respecting the importance of physical conditioning and development of mental toughness. Whether it’s private, semi-private, group, or camps, rest assured that you will experience measurable improvements and, by the end of the season, be able to look back and really trust the process.
I have a passion for large groups. I feed off the energy of positive people and look forward to seeing you at the Tip of the Month each month.
Remember that “The expert in anything was once a beginner.”

I’m Ethan Leong, a 20-year-old tennis player and I have over 6 years of coaching experience as a TPA certified tennis coach, teaching all ages and levels from beginners to high level performance. Competing at a high level and learning from ATP certified coach Heath Waters and NCAA D1 player Jeremy Gibbons-Schneider has given me great knowledge of the game. I started playing tennis when I was just 3 years old and have been playing competitively since I was 9. Over the years, I have won countless tournaments in the city and in places such as Toronto from the junior to men’s level. I started coaching voluntarily when I was just 13 and have been providing my knowledge of the sport to the Ottawa’s tennis community ever since. I have taught at several locations throughout the city. My journey to become the best tennis player I can be is ongoing, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
