A guide to playing tennis
Seoul’s practice venues lean strongly toward indoor ball-machine studios, where solo players can repeat strokes without arranging a hitting partner. Several self-service studios require reservations; one screen-tennis venue offers target games as a different kind of session.

나혼자테니스랩
A self-service indoor tennis lab in Seocho, Seoul, built around a ball machine for solo practice and skill-building. It suits players who want to drill serves and strokes on their own schedule, with coaching also available for those who want guidance.
88테니스아카데미
In Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, 88 Tennis Academy pairs a rooftop artificial-grass court with indoor lesson courts and ball-machine practice bays below. Visiting players can rent the rooftop court without membership and check bookings through the BACELINE app, with coaches available for those who want a lesson.

테니스리퍼블릭 목동점
An unmanned, ball-machine practice studio in Mokdong, open daily from 05:00 to midnight for solo hitting sessions, with coaching available by registration any day of the week. Book a lane through the app, get a PIN, and walk straight in — a convenient option for squeezing in practice before work, after hours, or on weekends.
빅토리 테니스 아카데미
A long-running indoor tennis academy tucked into Gangnam's Sinsa-dong, popular for private and group lessons with a coaching staff that includes former national-team players. Reviewers praise the attentive, detail-oriented coaching for correcting technique, plus clean facilities with shower access.
제이에스실내테니스
An indoor tennis facility tucked in the basement of a building in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu. It opens 06:00–22:00 on weekdays and 07:00–18:00 on weekends, suiting both pre-work visits and weekend play. With coaching and a ball machine on site, it works well for players wanting structured lessons as much as those looking to book a court.
테니스클럽하우스
Tennis Clubhouse is a single indoor ball-machine practice court in Seoul's Gwangjin-gu. Booking is available through the Racketime app. It suits solo players after focused stroke work, with an AI-controlled machine setting the pace, placement, and spin rather than a conventional open court for rallying with a partner.
