My name is Jordan Hunte, and I’m a professional tennis player and certified coach from Castries, Saint Lucia, now based in New York City. I compete internationally for Saint Lucia and represent my country in the Davis Cup, while also helping players of all ages elevate their game on court in NYC.

I was born on February 21, 2003, and I grew up on a small Caribbean island where tennis is still developing, but my passion for the sport runs deep. From my earliest years on court in Castries, I learned to fight for every point and to stay calm under pressure—qualities that would define my style of play later on. (Tennis Explorer)

As a teenager, I started making a name for myself in the local and regional junior circuit. One of my breakthrough moments came in 2019, when I captured the title of St. Lucia SR4 U16 Transitional Series Champion, defeating Trinidadian rival Sebastian Sylvester in the final. I had already beaten him in a tight three-set battle at the U16 Mixed Team Championship in Trinidad, and in the SR4 final, I managed to win again, this time in straight sets, showing more maturity and control under pressure.

​

Chasing stronger competition and better training opportunities, I moved to Naples, Florida, where I attended ES International and competed on the Florida junior circuit. I played events like the L5 ASC Boys’ 18 Singles at Academia Sanchez-Casal, Florida, and built a solid junior résumé, earning a ranking of No. 62 in Florida according to Tennis Recruiting Network. That period taught me how to adapt—new country, new environment, tougher opponents—but it also proved that a kid from a small Caribbean island could belong on bigger stages.

​

In 2021, I took the next step and joined Wagner College in Staten Island, New York, as a student-athlete. Over my time with the Wagner Seahawks, I’ve played across the singles lineup—from the No. 2 to No. 5 spots—and contributed in both singles and doubles. Early in my college career, I earned wins against programs like NJCU and Mount St. Mary’s in singles, plus a doubles victory for Wagner at the No. 3 spot. Alongside tennis, I’m studying Finance with a minor in Computer Science, building a foundation for life after my playing career. (Wagner College Athletics)

​

One of the proudest chapters of my journey has been wearing my country’s colors on the Davis Cup stage. In 2024, Saint Lucia returned to the Davis Cup after an 18-year absence, and I was selected as racket 2 on the national team as we headed to Trinidad & Tobago to compete against nations such as Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Cuba, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Trinidad & Tobago, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was a historic moment for our country and a personal milestone for me. (St. Lucia Tennis Association)

​

Our Davis Cup story didn’t stop there. I returned to the team for the 2025 campaign, forming part of a core group with teammates like Maxx William, and continuing to gain experience at the international level. Reports from the Saint Lucia Tennis Association highlight our doubles performances and the role of my father, Trevor Hunte, who serves as team manager, making Davis Cup not only a professional honor but also a family journey.

​

Beyond Davis Cup, I’ve competed on the international circuit, with my results tracked by organizations such as the ITF, World Tennis Number, and various live-score platforms. These events have taken me across different countries and surfaces, constantly testing my game and mentality against a wide range of playing styles.

​

Today, my career has two parallel tracks: competing and coaching. As a player, I continue to train, travel, and represent Saint Lucia and my college with pride. As a coach, I’m based in New York City, offering personalized tennis lessons for all ages and skill levels. My coaching focuses on technique, footwork, match strategy, and the mental side of tennis, helping each player build a complete game and real confidence on court.

​

My philosophy is simple: combine professional experience with clear structure and positive energy. I know what it feels like to be the kid trying to break through from a small island, the junior player grinding through tournaments, the college athlete balancing classes and competition, and the national team member standing on court with a flag on his back. I bring all of that into my sessions—whether I’m helping a beginner hold the racket correctly for the first time or guiding a competitive player through tactical patterns for their next tournament.

​

I also work with brands and partners that want to promote active, healthy lifestyles through tennis. These collaborations help support my training and enable me to give back—especially to youth players who need opportunities and inspiration to stay in the sport. My goal is not only to grow as an athlete and coach, but also to help build a stronger tennis culture for the next generation, from Saint Lucia to New York and beyond.
