My Tennis Maestro

Set in late-1980s Italy, Andrea Di Stefano’s My Tennis Maestro is a sun-soaked, bittersweet comedy about ambition, failure, and growing up.

A fiercely driven 13-year-old player is paired with a washed-up former champion (Pierfrancesco Favino, in rascally top form), and their cross-country tournament tour becomes a hilarious clash of discipline and decadence. As losses mount and egos bruise, the unlikely duo form a bond that shifts from frustration to fierce loyalty.

Buoyed by sparkling performances and a vibrant Italian pop soundtrack, this charming crowd-pleaser serves up laughs and heart—revealing that the real match isn’t on the court, but in learning who you want to become.
