Peter Wong

Peter Wong is a recreational tennis player, gear reviewer, and writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the founder and primary author of TennisUncut.com — a Canadian tennis site built for club players who play for the love of the game rather than a ranking. Peter has played recreational tennis for over 25 years across Vancouver's hard courts, indoor clubs, and the occasional clay season inspired by watching too much Roland Garros. He is not a professional coach, a touring player, or a sponsored athlete. He is exactly the kind of player he writes for: someone who plays twice a week, cares genuinely about improving, and has strong opinions about why the HEAD Radical MP is the best all-round racket for intermediate club players. TennisUncut covers three things: honest, unsponsored gear reviews with Amazon.ca affiliate links for Canadian shoppers; practical how-to guides that translate professional technique into advice recreational players can actually use; and tennis life content that captures the funny, relatable reality of club tennis. Peter also runs LooseTennisBalls — a print-on-demand apparel shop at Redbubble featuring original tennis humour designs. Peter can be reached at info@tennisuncut.com.
