History
The Academy was founded in 2011 by Nicklas Kulti, Magnus Norman, and Mikael Tillström.[2][3] In an interview with Tennis.com, Norman stated, "We want[ed] to build our own center, where the only focus is on developing future Top 100 players, no recreational players, only high performance."[4]
Originally, the Academy rented space at SALK Hall in Bromma.[5] However, in 2017, the Academy opened its own facility, named Catella Arena, in Danderyd. Catella Arena includes seven indoor and seven outdoor tennis courts, as well as a gym, restaurant, and student accommodations.[6][7]
In November 2023, the Academy hosted the Good to Great Challenger on the ATP Challenger Tour.[8][9]
