UGA: HOME OF CHAMPIONS What makes University of Georgia Tennis the Home of Champions?
6 Team National Championships. 17 Individual National Championships. 32 SEC Team Titles. 40 All-Americans and more four-time All-Americans than anyone else in the country. That’s a good place to start. Georgia is about tradition, teamwork and attitude. It’s about facing an opponent head-on so that he knows you are willing to fight like a BULLDOG. It’s about proudly representing the “G” on your uniform that so many have worn before you and understanding what it means to adorn the legendary logo. It’s about chasing the dream of hoisting the national championship trophy year after year and truly believing that you can.
The Georgia Tennis Creed I AM
Worthy, deserving, capable, talented, confident, bold, brave, composed, equal to the task, focused, prepared, responsible and committed.
I CAN
Because I: believe in myself, care enough, am willing to work for it, will earn it, have enough desire, am willing to sacrifice and want it bad enough!
WE ARE
The best competitors, courageous, determined, together, a team, united to one cause, hungry, tenacious, confident, resilient and tough enough!
WE WILL
Because we are willing to: develop the synergy, become the best, strive for excellence, be bold, overcome our fears, overcome adversity, persevere, endure, dominate, prove our greatness, dream big and acheive our dreams.

FACILITIES
The Dan Magill Tennis Complex has long stood as a beacon of excellence in collegiate tennis. With a total of 16 courts (12 outdoor and four indoor) and a total seating capacity of over 5,000 fans, it is one of the largest on-campus tennis facilities in the country. The ever-evolving complex underwent a $7.5 million development and renovation project in 2002 that included the construction of a brand-new men’s clubhouse. In 1991, the complex received lights thanks to the generous support of Oscar-winning actress and Athens native, Kim Basinger. Pictured above is Henry Feild Stadium, the central portion of the complex. Regarded as one of the best collegiate tennis facilites in America, the complex has hosted the Men’s NCAA Championships a total of 21 times, and will play host to the championships in 2010 and again in 2012.

The Dan Magill Tennis Complex is named for one of the greatest Bulldogs, Georgia legend Dan Magill. Regarded as one of the most influential men in the history of collegiate tennis, Magill served as Georgia’s head tennis coach for 34 years. Magill led the Bulldogs to two National Championships (1985 and 1987). He is still a very active member of the collegiate tennis community, serving as curator and director of the ITA Men’s Collegiate Hall of Fame, which also makes its home at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Magill has devoted his entire life to the University of Georgia and to the development of collegiate tennis. His career at UGA began as early as the 1930’s, when he served as a batboy for the baseball team. He also served as Georgia’s Sports Information Director for 27 years and spent 25 years as the secretary of the Georgia Bulldog Club, a booster organization that he founded in 1953.

BULLDOGS IN THE PROS
John Isner, a key component to the 2007 national championship squad, blossomed into one of the most decorated Bulldogs in history, becoming the seventh UGA player to be named a four-time All-American and the eighth to garner All-SEC honors all four years of his career. He also became the all-time winningest player in both singles and doubles in school history. Isner finished 2009 as the No. 3 American and ended the year ranked in the top-50. He had 27 wins including a victory over No. 5 Andy Roddick in the third round of the U.S. Open. He began 2010 ranked No. 33 in the world.

FIRST NCAA TITLE: 1985
The 1985 Georgia Bulldogs, led by seniors in their top four positions, were perhaps the most powerful team in school history. The Bulldogs were led by Mikael Pernfors, a native Swede who won a second straight NCAA singles championship with a victory over teammate and roommate George Bezecny. Bezecny played No. 2 for the Bulldogs while Allen Miller, a four-time All-American, was No. 3. The remainder of the lineup consisted of Deane Frey at No. 4 singles, sophomore Philip Johnson at No. 5 and freshman Trey Carter at No. 6. Georgia finished the spring dual match schedule with a perfect 26-0 record.

FOURTH NCAA TITLE: 2001
Matias Boeker
The 2001 Bulldogs not only etched their name in the annals of Georgia tennis history but the NCAA record books as being only the second program to win the championship, fail to reach the Round of 16 the following year and then claim another NCAA crown in a span of three years. Stanford is the only other team to accomplish such a feat. Georgia rode a 25-match winning streak through the tournament to capture the program’s fourth national title. The road to the final was not easy, as Travis Parrott outlasted Joel Spicher of Duke to win a three-set match to move Georgia into the semifinals where they avenged a season-ending loss from the previous year with a 4-0 win against Southern Methodist. In the team final, Georgia clinched the doubles point for the early lead, but lost the first set in three of the singles matches. Brandon Wagner gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead with a straight set win, while the other five matches went to three sets. With Georgia leading 3-1, Chad Carlson topped Adam Carey 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 to clinch the match for the Bulldogs.Childs saw significant action at No. 6 singles and was a regular at No. 3 doubles.

FIFTH NCAA TITLE: 2007
The 2007 Bulldogs completed their dream season by winning the program’s fifth NCAA Team Championships on its home courts. The national crown was the final piece to a perfect puzzle as the squad captured every possible team title during its undefeated run, which also included the ITA Team Indoor National Championship and the SEC Tournament crown. Georgia was so dominant as a team that for the first time in team history, the Bulldogs never allowed an opponent more than two points in a match. Even then, UGA opposition gained two points only twice, while suffering a total of 22 shutouts. TEAM RESULTS First Round: Georgia def. Farleigh Dickenson, 4-0 Second Round: Georgia def.

SIXTH NCAA TITLE: 2008
Travis Helgeson
In 2008 the Bulldogs became the first squad to win back-to-back NCAA Championship titles since Stanford accomplished that feat in 1998-99. The Bulldogs officially captured the championship by defeating the Texas Longhorns in the finals, 4-2. However, arguably the victory most indicative of the Bulldogs’ talent came in the semifinal round as Georgia topped the undefeated, No. 1-ranked and heavily-favored Virginia Cavaliers, 4-3. Overshadowed by the run to the national championship, the Bulldogs also captured their third consecutive regular-season Southeastern Conference championship with a 10-1 record. Georgia was 10-0 and had already clinched the title before dropping their only SEC contest in the last three years and ending a 40-match win streak against SEC foes. TEAM RESULTS First Round: Georgia def. Radford, 4-0 Second Round: Georgia def. Auburn, 4-0 Round of 16: Georgia def. Pepperdine, 4-1 Quarterfinals: Georgia def. Ole Miss, 4-0 Semifinals: Georgia def.

2010 OUTLOOK GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
As Manny Diaz looks ahead to the 2010 season, he can’t help but circle a number of dates on the calendar. “The SEC East is the strongest I remember it in many, many years,” said Diaz, who, with national championship victories in 1999, 2001, 2007, and 2008 is the only active men’s tennis coach with multiple NCAA titles and is no stranger to the toughest of competition. “The league is really the best it’s been in recent memory. Tennessee and Florida will be worthy of a top-5 national ranking. Ole Miss has an experienced squad and a wealth of talent, and Kentucky will also challenge for a top-10 spot in the nation, so that makes four or five teams in the SEC East that could challenge for those types of rankings.” “The competition will be fierce.” Diaz’s Bulldogs will face all four of those teams in a span of a little over month this spring, including road matches with the Gators and Volunteers to close out the regular season. The load isn’t any lighter for the Bulldogs on the non-conference slate, as Georgia men’s tennis has dates with the defending national champion USC Trojans as well as the Ohio State Buckeyes, who took on Southern Cal in the finals a season ago. Also circled on Diaz’s calendar is May 20-31, when the NCAA Championships will come to Athens for the first time since 2007 – when Georgia took home the first of back-to-back national titles. “Hosting NCAA’s will be a great experience for our guys,” Diaz said. “We’re looking forward to it and we always look back on 2007 when we won it here. The guys are excited – it’s an opportunity to get out
in front of our fans. It’s special. It’s also a compliment from the committee that recognizes Georgia as having the best atmosphere and crowds in college tennis.” In preparing for a season that includes one of the toughest conference schedules in the nation as well as an unforgiving out-of-conference lineup and the prospect of playing for another national champion in its own backyard, Diaz will look no further than his veteran leaders. “Our top three players from last year are all returning and they’ve all been a part of our previous national championship teams,” Diaz said. “I feel that they’ve all improved and we have a really experienced group of guys that hopefully can provide great leadership to our younger players.” That returning top three includes seniors Nate Schnugg and Jamie Hunt – ranked No. 4 and No. 37, respectively, in September’s ITA Preseason rankings in addition to their No. 2 ranking as a doubles team. While Schnugg spent the later part of the fall season recovering from knee surgery, Diaz expects the senior to back and ready to make his mark on the program. Schnugg returns from a 2009 campaign in which he finished with a team-best 37-15 record in singles with a final ranking of No. 10, earning All-America honors in singles. He teamed up with Hunt for All-America recognition and a final ranking of No. 7 in doubles, as the duo went 32-12 and took part in the NCAA Champion Championships. Behind that pair, junior Javier Garrapiz enters with a ranking of No. 45 after posting a 33-9 record in singles last season. Garrapiz earned co-champion honors at the Southern Intercol Intercollegiates to open the fall slate and has made great strides in solidifying himself as a solid No. 3 for the Bulldogs in 2010. “Nate and Jamie again should compete for national honors as a top doubles team, ad we’re extremely excited about Javier’s progress – he had a tremendous fall,” said Diaz. “He will continue to make progress will play a pivotal role for us this season.” Returnees Drake Bernstein and Christian Vitulli have also shown great improvements this Jamie Hunt and Nate Schnugg fall as they will be looked to in the
Javier Garrapiz singles lineup as well as in doubles. With a ranking of No. 60 heading into the season - the first of his career - Bernstein is one of the most improved in the nation and is expected to make his biggest contribution yet. Diaz is especially confident as the squad returns much of its doubles nucleus led by Schnugg and Hunt and including Garrapiz, Vitulli, and Bernstein who all saw significant time there last season. Diaz is also excited about the incoming freshman group, which includes Will Reynolds, Will Oliver, and Bo Seal – one of the nation’s top junior players and a native of Chattanooga, Tenn. The freshmen trio adds both talent and depth to the group. “We are excited about these freshmen who can all contribute and are all very good doubles players,” said Diaz. “There are still some things that need to be worked out but we are excited about the work and the challenge ahead of us.” The Bulldogs will be looking to follow up last season’s 25-4 record and run to the Elite Eight with a final national ranking of No. 6. The 2009 season marked the 19th time in 21 seasons under Diaz in which Georgia finished nationally-ranked in the top seven. The Bulldogs claimed the SEC East crown in 2009 and extended the team’s home winning streak to 62 straight matches at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, including two matches in the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Round of 16 in College Station, Texas. There, Georgia handled Illinois before falling to Texas in the Elite Eight. So with that tough schedule looming, Diaz and the Bulldogs will rely on a combination of seasoned leadership and talented youth as they look to earn a chance to play for the program’s seventh national title right here in Athens.

COACHES
GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
Head Coach 22nd season as Head Coach
One of the nation’s top coaches, Manuel Diaz led the Bulldogs to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2009 after guiding the team to its second consecutive NCAA championship in 2008. The sixth NCAA team championship title in school history, Diaz has accounted for four of them as the head coach (1999, 2001, 2007, 2008). He was also an assistant coach under the legendary Dan Magill on both of the other winning squads (1985, 1987). Diaz is currently the only active head coach to win multiple NCAA championships. Diaz coached the Dogs to their third consecutive SEC Championship in 2008, earning the 25th regular-season championship in school history, far and away the most of any conference school. His teams have also claimed a conference-leading seven SEC-Tournament championships. Combined, Georgia has claimed 32 SEC championship titles and has doubled up to win both championships in the same year six times. Diaz holds an impressive career record of 488-100 (.830) in his 21 seasons at the helm of Georgia men’s tennis. In addition to his four NCAA Championships, his teams have reached the NCAA finals seven other times: 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2006. In addition, they have reached the semifinals twice and quarterfinals on five occasions. But more than all the accomplishments, the secret behind Diaz’s success in bringing the best out of his student-athletes lies in his philosophy that the studentathlete comes first and without him, nothing is possible. Diaz and his staff have always been committed to bringing in good people who will uphold the great Georgia Tennis tradition. Diaz is committed to providing student-athletes with the resources they need to receive a quality education at the University of Georgia, the support and trust they need to succeed in all areas of college life and build lifelong relationships through teamwork on and off the court. In building that teamwork, Diaz stresses a sense of accountability in his players that calls on them to follow through and demand the best out of their teammates and coaches every day. Georgia Tennis insists on a work ethic that is second to none, where Bulldogs are expected to be willing to go the extra mile in practice, in the weight room, and in conditioning. A positive attitude and enthusiasm is required from Diaz’s student-athletes as they work toward the eventual goal of growth. Diaz asks in what areas of one’s game is that player willing to grow and develop or improve and how will he get there? In the end, Diaz and the Georgia men’s tennis program seek to use these philosophies so that every student-athlete enjoys the journey and learns to focus on the process. And every student-athlete feels the pride of calling himself a Georgia Bulldog. The Manny Diaz approach to collegiate tennis has led to a remarkable 114-8 record since 2006, which includes an undefeated 32-0 National Championship season in 2007. Georgia was 30-1 in 2006, with its lone loss coming in the NCAA Finals. The Bulldogs are currently in the midst of a 62-match winning streak at home, having not succumbed to an opponent at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in more than four calendar years. Georgia’s last home loss came in April, 2005. Diaz led Georgia to 11 consecutive national top-five finishes from 1989-99, a feat no other school in the country can match. In Diaz’s 21 years, his squads have averaged a final national rank of 4.8, tied with Stanford as the top-ranking program over that time period.

6 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Diaz’s Bulldogs won the program’s first-ever triple crown of tennis in 2001, as the team won its second national title in three years while Matias Boeker won the NCAA singles crown and teamed with Travis Parrott for the doubles championship. It was only the third time since 1977 that such a feat had been accomplished in collegiate tennis. Diaz has led Georgia to 12 regular-season SEC titles to go along with seven SEC Tournament titles. He was named SEC Coach of the Year in 1989, 1995, 2001, 2006, and 2007. Under Diaz, Georgia has seen 27 different players earn 58 All-America honors. This total ranks tied for second behind Stanford for most All-Americans nationally in that time period. Diaz has also coached six of Georgia’s seven four-time All-Americans, including Al Parker (1988-91), Mike Sell (1992-95), Jamie Laschinger (1993-96), Steven Baldas (1995-98), Bo Hodge (2001-04) and most recently John Isner (2004-07). Under Diaz, Georgia has been among the most nationally televised collegiate programs. Georgia made history in 2007 when its national championship win in Athens at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex became the first collegiate tennis match ever to be televised live. The production was carried on ESPNU. The Bulldogs have had a player in the NCAA singles finals in 1991, 1992, 1993, 2002 and 2007 and appeared in the team final in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2008, all of which have been televised by ESPN. In 2005, Isner and Ruiz’s doubles win was televised by The Tennis Channel. Georgia had a player in the team, singles and doubles finals in 2001, but those matches were not televised. Diaz is a respected and honored leader in collegiate tennis including being selected as the Wilson/ITA National Coach-of-the Year in 1995, 2001 and 2007. He was inducted into the State of Georgia Hall of Fame in the fall of 2000. For his outstanding contribution to tennis in his home country of Puerto Rico, Diaz was inducted into the Puerto Rican Tennis Hall of Fame in 1998. Diaz is married to the former Suzanne Rondeau of Toronto, Canada. They have three sons: Manuel III, Eric and Alex.

2008-09 REVIEW GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
The 2009 Georgia men’s tennis team maintained its place among the top programs with a 25-4 record, advancing to the NCAA Elite Eight and final national ranking of No. 6. It was the 19th time in the 21 seasons under head coach Manuel Diaz that the Bulldogs finished the year nationally ranked in the top seven. After three straight years of playing for the national championship including winning it in 2007 and 2008, the so-called experts of college tennis predicted the Bulldogs would not be in the hunt for a third straight NCAA crown. However at the first major tournament, the National Team Indoor Championships in Chicago in February, Georgia advanced to the finals. Still, the Southeastern Conference coaches projected Georgia to finish third in the Eastern Division. While the Bulldogs did drop their opening SEC match 4-3 to eventual league champion Ole Miss in Oxford, Georgia won its final 10 regular season matches to claim the Eastern Division. Also, Georgia kept its home winning streak going, extending it to 62 consecutive victories at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. In the NCAA Tournament, Georgia won two matches in Athens to advance to College Station, Texas, site of the Round of 16 through the finals. The Bulldogs got past Illinois and then fell in the Elite Eight to Texas. The Longhorn match was interrupted by rain as Georgia won the doubles and then came back the next day and Texas picked up
four singles wins to advance. Individually, Georgia was led by junior Nate Schnugg who had a team-best 37-15 singles record and went 32-12 in doubles with Jamie Hunt. They earned All-America honors and participated in the NCAA Championships. Georgia’s lone senior, team captain Josh Varela provided strong leadership and enjoyed his finest year as a Bulldog, posting a 30-9 record including 14-3 at the No. 3 spot in the lineup. Also, sophomore Javier Garrapiz was close to automatic in dual matches, going 21-3 at No. 2 and No. 3 and 33-9 overall. Schnugg and Hunt made the All-SEC first team while Varela and Garrapiz were named All-SEC second team. In the final ITA singles rankings, Schnugg ended up No. 10 followed by Hunt at No. 62 and Garrapiz at No. 63. In doubles, the Schnugg/Hunt tandem was No. 7.
Bulldogs Advance to NCAA Elite Eight *Georgia’s NCAA Tournament winning streak ended at 15 following the loss to Texas in the quarterfinals. The Bulldogs won the NCAA Championship in 2007 and 2008. The Bulldogs were 2006 NCAA finalists too. Georgia has won six NCAA national championships (1985, ’87, ’99, 2001, ’07, ’08). *Georgia made its 31st overall appearance in the NCAA Tournament. It now owns a 79-26 record after the 2009 showing. The 2009 NCAA bid marked the 26th straight for the Bulldogs. *The Bulldogs were picked by the SEC coaches to finish third in the East, however Georgia won the East and went 10-1 in the SEC, second only to Ole Miss (11-0 SEC). *Georgia clinched the SEC Eastern Division title outright with a 5-2 win over #6 Tennessee in front of a season-high crowd of 1,060 to close out the regular season April 18. Along with the two NCAA Tournament wins this season at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, the Bulldogs currently have a Geor 62-match home winning streak. Georgia will play host to the 2010 NCAA Tournament. *Georgia’s four losses came to In Virginia in the ITA National Team Indoor Final in Chicago (Feb. 16), to SEC champion Ole Miss in Oxford (March 6), to Tennessee (April 25) in the SEC Tournament in Auburn, Ala., and to Texas in College Station (May 17) in the NCAAs. *Georgia’s lineup featured three players ranked in the ITA Top 75 and one doubles team in the top seven. The team captain was the lone senior, Josh Varela.

Bulldogs Earn NCAA Bids, All-American and All-SEC Honors
University of Georgia junior Nate Schnugg earned a bid to the NCAA Singles Championships plus one for the doubles with junior Jamie Hunt, and they earned ITA All-America honors.Schnugg was a 9-16 seed for the singles while the Schnugg/Hunt team was seeded fourth. By virtue of their seed, they earned All-America honors. In singles, student-athletes can be an All-American by being a top 16 seed in the NCAA Championships, or reach the round of 16 in the NCAA Championships, or finish in the top 20 of the final ITA rankings. For doubles All-America honors, student-athletes must either be a top eight seed at the NCAAs, or reach the quarterfinals of the NCAAs, or, finish in the top 10 of the final ITA rankings. This was the second NCAA singles and doubles bid for Schnugg, and the second doubles bid for Hunt. In 2008, the duo fell in the first round after Georgia’s second consecutive national team title. Schnugg and Hunt along with senior Josh Varela and sophomore Javier Garrapiz were named to the All-SEC team. Schnugg and Hunt were selected to the All-SEC First Team while Varela and Garrapiz made the All-SEC Second Team in a vote of the league coaches. Schnugg and Hunt have made the All-SEC squad three consecutive seasons while this was the second honor for Garrapiz and the first for Varela.

ALL-AMERICANS GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
GeorGia TenniS: an all-ameriCan TradiTion Georgia tennis ranks among the top teams in the country in All-American selections. A total of 40 different Bulldogs have earned All-America recognition on 81 occasions since the selection process began in 1957. The first Georgia players ever to be so honored were Danny Birchmore and Norman Holmes in 1971. In 2006, three Bulldogs earned All-America honors. John Isner and Antonio Ruiz repeated as doubles selecctions, while Isner and Luis Flores earned the distinction in singles. The 2006 season also marked the 26th consecutive year that Georgia has had at least one player earn All-America accolades. Flores, Travis Helgeon, and Nate Schnugg earned honors in 2008. The 2009 season saw Schnugg and his doubles partner Jamie Hunt earn All-America status in doubles, while Schnugg was also an All-American in singles for the second time. Georgia’s legendary former tennis coach Dan Magill teamed with Dick Gould in 1979 to create the ITA AllAmerica selection standards that, along with some minor refinements, are still used today. Magill, an Athens, Ga., native, coached the Bulldogs to two team NCAA National Championships, 13 SEC Outdoor Team Championships, and eight SEC Indoor Team Championships. Georgia has had seven players earn All-America accolades in all four years of their respective collegiate careers, including Al Parker, Allen Miller, Mike Sell, Jamie Laschinger, Steven Baldas, Bo Hodge and John Isner.

Norman Holmes became Georgia’s first four-time All-SEC selection, earning the honor each year from 1968-1971.
Over the years, the SEC and its men’s tennis coaches have selected the All-Conference squad using different methods. From 1966-1973, a first team and second team were selected. From 1974-1984, only one team was named. In 1985, a first team and honorable mention were picked. The current method of a singles and doubles All-SEC first and second team with slight variations has been used since 1986. 1966 ..........................

PROGRAM HISTORY/RECORDS GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
EARLY STARS L.A. Cothran became the first intercollegiate champion of the South in 1898. He defeated a Sewanee player named Seibles at the Montogmery (Ala.) Tennis and Golf Club. E.V. Carter Jr., won the old Southern Intercollegiate singles title in 19081910. Carter won the doubles in 1908 with Grover C. Middlebrooks and in 1909 with Walter Holmes. Malon Courts claimed the old Southern Conference singles title in 1927. He remained active in the game, and in 1954, Courts won the Southern Senior singles event. He teamed with Bryan Grant to win the National Clay Courts Senior Men’s doubles in 1955. Jack Boykin claimed the 1930 Southern Conference singles title. REGULAR DUAL MATCHES BEGAN IN 1926 UNDER DR. EVERETT Dr. Ed Everett, for years head of the University’s English Department, served as the first coach. After Dr. Everett, the Bulldogs were led by J.R. DeLara, H.T. Hollis, Albert Curtis, Dr. Eugene Odum, and Col. E.B. Smith. Albert Jones, captain of the 1938 squad, coached the Bulldogs from 1949-54. Jones designed an excellent varsity tennis layout which was lost when part of the Science Center was built on it. However, a new varsity tennis stadium was built on what was known as “Ag Hill,” and even then earned the reputation as the best collegiate tennis stadium in the South. MAGILL ERA BEGAN IN ‘54 WHEN NO ONE ELSE TOOK THE JOB After unsuccessful attempts to hire a tennis coach, Dan Magill took on this job as well as being secretary of the Georgia Bulldog Club and sports information director plus countless other duties. A tennis letterman in 1940-41, he became the all-time winningest coach in the history of the sport. Before retiring in 1995, he wore many hats in his 59-year association with the University of Georgia. In his 34-year tenure as head coach, Magill’s teams won a record 13 SEC outdoor championships and eight indoor league titles and five players won national collegiate individual titles. His 1985 and 1987 teams captured the NCAA Championship. THE DAN MAGILL TENNIS COMPLEX Georgia has arguably the finest on-campus tennis facility in the country, serving as host for 22 NCAA Championships including 13 in a row from 1977-89. A record attendance figure was established at the 1993 NCAAs in Athens when 34,184 fans attended the 10-day event. It was also the same year the facility was named for the legendary Bulldog. Georgia most recently hosted the 2007 Men’s and Women’s NCAA Tournament and is set to host the 2010 Men’s Tournament in May as well as the 2012 NCAA Tournament. EVOLUTION OF THE FACILITY The first tennis courts on campus were located east of the Arch alongside Broad Street at the turn of the century. In the 1930s and 1940s, there were six red clay courts in front of LeConte Hall, where the Journalism-Psychology complex now sits. The Bulldogs moved to their present location in the spring of 1958 when six rubico (dirt) courts were constructed. In 1968 for the first time in history, Georgia changed to a hard surface as the courts were converted to Grass-tex. In 1977, the current Henry Feild Stadium was built and the University has been host to numer-
ous national tournaments since. The stadium courts are named for the late Henry Feild, the Bulldogs’ No. 1 player in 1964-65-66. Feild died in an automobile accident in January of 1968. In 1980, thanks to the generosity of alumnus Lindsey Hopkins, Jr., Georgia’s indoor facility was built. Magill also directed the move to place the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame facility on the Georgia campus in 1984. BULLDOG AWARDS Along with the six national championships, Georgia tennis owns 25 SEC regular-season titles, seven SEC Tournament titles and has made 30 NCAA Tournament appearances. A total of 39 studentathletes have accumulated 78 All-America honors and five individual NCAA champions since 1970. Georgia has seen tremendous succcess in the NCAA Tournament. Allen Miller and Ola Malmqvist became the first individual NCAA Champions at Georgia, capturing the 1983 NCAA doubles title. In 1984 and 1985, Mikael Pernfors won NCAA Singles title, held in Athens both years. In 2001 Matias Boeker captured tennis’ triple crown by guiding the Bulldogs to the team title and sweeping both the singles and doubles (with Travis Parrott) titles. Boeker followed up with another NCAA Singles title in 2002. The most recent NCAA Champions to come from the Bulldogs were John Isner and Antonio Ruiz, who captured the doubles championship in 2005. In ITA championship competition, Georgia’s most recent champion was Travis Helgeson, who won the 2007 Polo-Ralph Lauren All-American Singles National Championship. In 2006, Isner and Luis Flores, topped back-to-back tournament fields to win the All-American Doubles Championship and the ITA National Indoor Doubles Championship. In 2005, Isner won the Singles All-American championship. In addition to his accolades on the court, Al Parker was tabbed the Academic All-American of the Year in 1991. THE DIAZ ERA Manuel Diaz, a Georgia All-American in 1974 and 1975, served as assistant under Magill from 1985 until 1988 when he took over the program upon Magill’s retirement. Diaz did not skip a beat, leading the Bulldogs to 11 consecutive national top-five finishes from 1989-99, while 19 of his 21 Bulldog teams have finished ranked in the top 7. In 2008, when Georgia repeated as NCAA champions to capture the school’s sixth national title, Diaz became the only active coach with multiple championships to his name. Diaz holds an impressive career record of 488-100 (.830) in his 21 seasons. In addition to his four NCAA Championships, his teams have reached the NCAA finals seven other times: 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2006. In addition, they have reached the semifinals twice and quarterfinals five times. Diaz has led Georgia to 12 regular season SEC titles to go along with seven SEC Tournament titles. He was named SEC Coach of the Year in 1989, 1995, 2001, 2006 and 2007. Under Diaz, Georgia has seen 28 different players earn 61 All-America honors. This total ranks tied for second behind Stanford for most All-Americans nationally in that time period. Diaz has also coached six of Georgia’s seven fourtime All-Americans. Entering the 2010 season, Georgia maintains a staggering 62-match winning streak while playing at home at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.

The first leg of the ITA Collegiate Grand Slam is the ITA All-American Championships, formely known as the Volvo Tennis/Collegiate Championships. The tournament, a 32-player singles draw and 16-team doubles field, has been held annually since 1979. Its most recent home has been the University of Tulsa. The 2006 season saw John Isner and Luis Flores take home the doubles title, becoming the second Bulldog duo to do so, as they posted an 8-6 (5) win over Andreas Siljestrom and Marco Born of Middle Tennessee State. A Bulldog has won the singles title five times. Georgia’s Al Parker won the tournament in 1989 and 1990—each time in Athens. Parker downed Stanford’s Jonathan Stark on both occasions. Also, Mikael Pernfors earned a Volvo singles championship, winning in 1984. In 2005, John Isner won the singles title at the AllAmerica Championships, marking the fourth time a Bulldog accomplished the feat. In the final match he defeated Lars Poerschke of Baylor by a score of 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3). Isner followed up his 2005 effort with another fine performance in 2006 as he made another run to the finals before falling in the championship match to Arnaud Brugues of host-school Tulsa. Luis Flores also had a strong tournament, advancing to the semifinals before falling to Brugues as well. Georgia’s most recent success came off the racquet of Travis Helgeson. Helgeson won the 2007 event, defeating USC’s Robert Farah in the finals. In his semifinal match, Helgeson defeated the reigning NCAA Champion, Virginia’s Somdev Devvarmen. In 2008, Georgia’s Jamie Hunt and Nate Schnugg fell in the doubles round of 16, 8-5. The duo returned to the All-American Championships in 2009, reaching the quarterfinals where they fell 8-6 to the pair from Oklahoma State. Hunt also advanced to the round of 32 singles in 2009. Georgia has had several other remarkable finishes in this event as well. In 1986, Philip Johnson reached the semifinals as did Mike Sell in 1992. In his Bulldog debut in 1994, Steven Baldas posted seven wins over ranked opponents during qualifying, main draw and consolation play there.
The second portion of the Grand Slam is the ITA National Indoor Championships. These championships feature a 32-player singles field and 16-team doubles field, including: champions from Wilson/ITA Regional Championships held across the country during October, the ITA National Small College champions, the winners of the Polo Ralph Lauren Men’s All-American Tennis Championships, and at-large and wild card selections made prior to the tournament by the ITA National Tournament Committee. Overall, more than 10,000 players from nearly 600 schools participate annually in the ITA Regional and National Intercollegiate Championships. The ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships were inaugurated in 1978. Recent champions and finalists include current and recent top 100 professionals Benjamin Becker (Baylor), James Blake (Harvard), Bob and Mike Bryan (Stanford), Kevin Kim (UCLA) and Jeff Morrison (Florida). Big Ten legends and Grand Slam finalist Todd Martin (Northwestern) is also among the past champions. In 2006, John Isner and Luis Flores captured the doubles title, becoming the second Georgia pair to do so. In 1982, Ola Malmqvist and Allen Miller took home the title. That duo went on to win the 1983 NCAA National Doubles Championship. Nate Schnugg won the consolation draw of the 2008 ITA National Indoor Tournament in Charlottesville, Va. Most recently, Georgia’s Javier Garrapiz earned one of the 12 at-large bids to the tournament and advanced to the semifinals of the consolation draw in 2009. The third portion of the collegiate Grand Slam is the NCAA Championships in May.

After never winning this title despite reaching the finals five times, Georgia finally captured its first championship in 2006. The Bulldogs then went back-to-back, winning the event again in 2007. Since it’s inception the Bulldogs have played in the tournament every year except in 2003. Before winning the tournament in 2006, Georgia had already enjoyed good success at the event. The Bulldogs have made the National Team Indoor final in 1982, ‘94, ‘95, ‘97, ‘98, and 2009, and the semifinals seven times. The USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championships began in 1973 and is the ITA’s longest-running event. In its formative years it was held in Madison, Wis., and was staged as an eight-team national invitational tournament, but not all of the top teams initially chose to participate. It was in Madison where John McEnroe helped Stanford to the 1978 title. After Madison, and one year in Princeton, the tournament was actually held outdoors at UCLA for three years before beginning its stint in Louisville, Ky., from 1985-98. Louisville also hosted in 2000, ’02-03. A California team had won this title for 15 consecutive years before Illinois took the title in 2003 and 2004. Before Illinois and Baylor, SMU was the last non-California team to win the title, taking home the trophy in 1983. In 2006, Georgia became the first SEC team to ever win the event. Virginia won the title in both 2008 and 2009, defeating Georgia there in ‘09 by a score of 4-1.
SEC COACHES INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
Georgia’s tennis success has not been limited to the SEC outdoor championships. The Bulldogs have proven to be just as formidable at the conference indoor competition held each winter. Before the tournament adopted its current format, there was a team portion as well, which crowned an SEC Indoor Champion in addition to its regular-season outdoor conference winner. The Bulldogs won the SEC Indoor team title eight times including six straight, from 1982-87. The team portion of the competition was eliminated in 1988. The Bulldogs have experienced plenty of individual success as well. Since 1976, Georgia has won 48 SEC individual indoor titles, including 36 singles and 20 doubles crowns. The tournament altered its format beginning with the 1988 indoor tournament. No longer using flighted singles and doubles, the SEC Indoors then consisted of a 32-player singles and 16-team doubles draw. Beginning in 2001, the championships moved to a 64-player singles and 32-team doubles field. Georgia won either the singles or doubles title for four consecutive years from 2005-08. In 2005, John Isner and Antonio Ruiz captured the doubles crown, their first step toward an eventual NCAA Doubles National Championship. The 2006 tournament saw Matic Omerzel and Luis Flores take home the doubles title, a preview to their success together in dual-match play as the season progressed. Most recently, Travis Helgeson and Luis Flores won back-to-back singles titles, with Helgeson taking the crown in 2007 and Flores in 2008. The 2010 SEC Indoor Tournament will be held at the Racquet Club of the South in Norcross, Ga.

DAN MAGILL
GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
One of the greatest ambassadors for college tennis and the game in general is Georgia’s own Dan Magill. Magill officially retired from the University of Georgia athletic department in September of 1995, ending a 59-year association that began when he served as a batboy for the baseball team in the 1930s. Over the years, Magill filled a variety of roles ranging from publicist, administrator, coach and spinner of yarns. He had no peer as an innovator and promoter, and is known nationally for building over time the country’s finest collegiate tennis facility, one that now bears his name. At the time of his retirement, he was an assistant athletic director and director of tennis. His contributions to the University, the athletic association, and perhaps most of all to the Georgia people have been great. Much to the delight of all those who know him or of him, Magill has shared some of his knowledge and experiences in four books: “Bull-Doggerel”, “Match Pointers”, “The Pick of Dan Magill’s Columns” and his latest work, “High Port, Haul Ass”, a collection of memoirs from his time in the Marine Corps during World War II. Today, he remains active around town and spends time at the ITA Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame, located on campus. Magill was responsible for bringing the NCAA men’s tennis championships to Athens over 20 times including 13 in a row from 1977-89. He was instrumental in the move to place the Hall of Fame here as well. In his brilliant 34-year tenure as head coach of the Bulldogs, Magill posted an amazing record of 706-183 (.794), which makes him the all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I history. Magill’s teams won a record 13 SEC outdoor championships and eight indoor league titles, while five of his players won national collegiate individual titles. His 1985 and 1987 teams captured the NCAA Championship. The 1985 team performed the unmatched “hat trick” — they ranked No. 1 in the final national team rankings, No. 1 in individual singles (Mikael Pernfors) and No. 1 in doubles (Pernfors and Allen Miller). He had 15 players earn All-American honors 23 times. Magill has been named the Wilson/ITA National Coach of the Year (1980) and earned the prestigious J.D. Morgan Award (1990), the two highest honors a college coach can receive. While in college and managing Georgia’s tennis courts in the summer, Magill originated the Crackerland Championships, which is still one of the South’s largest sectional tournaments. He also instituted the State Collegiate InChampionships, the Southern Collegiate Championships and SEC Coaches In

doors. Magill retired as tennis coach after the 1988 season but is regarded as one of the most influential men in the history of collegiate tennis. Magill is chairman of the ITA Hall of Fame Committee and is curator of the ITA Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame. In 1996, Magill was inducted into the Circle of Honor, the Georgia Athletic Association’s Hall of Fame, and in the fall of 1999, the Sanford Stadium press box was dedicated in his honor. He continued to serve the athletic association as the Director of men’s and women’s tennis as well as assistant athletic director for public relations and the Georgia Bulldog clubs. During his long tenure with the University, he has also wore the hat of sports information director for 27 years For his years of service, Magill was honored and 25 years as secretary of the at the 1999 Kentucky football game with the Georgia Bulldog Club, a booster dedication of the Dan Magill Press Box. organization he founded in 1953. Even with all of his work devoted to tennis, Magill has maintained his game as well. Over the years, he has won numerous titles at the Southern Hardcourts, Southern Closed Clay and Southern Indoor events. Magill is married to the former Rosemary Reynaud of New Orleans, and they have three children: Dr. Ham Magill, Mrs. William Brown and Mrs. Stephen Sloan.
SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENTS GEORGIA MEN’S TENNIS
endoWmenTS enSure The FuTure oF aThleTiCS Through the continued generosity of its supporters, the Georgia men’s tennis team became the first among 21 athletic programs at the University to name all of its scholarships through athletic endowments. According to NCAA regulations, the men’s tennis program can award 4.5 scholarships. Endowments covering all of these scholarships have been created in the names of Guy C. Arnall, Dan Magill, Malon Clay Courts, Leighton Ballew, and Rafael Jordán and Bonneau Ansley. As the University of Georgia Athletic Association must, by law, generate all of its own funding, new resources must be developed to secure the future. Perhaps the most vital new source of financial security for Georgia Athletics is the endowment of athletic scholarships. This increasing endowment provides partial funding for the $4 million worth of athletic scholarships that are awarded to student-athletes each year. An endowed scholarship requires a gift of $150,000, which is then invested in a permanent pool managed by the UGA Foundation. The annual investment income from the principal gift helps defray athletic scholarship costs for a particular student-athlete. The donor may choose the sport for which his or her gift will benefit. Today, more than 150 scholarships are named and funded at the $150,000 level. In addition, 14 group endowments are in the process of being funded at the $150,000 level. These group endowments provide the opportunity for individuals to collectively give gifts directed to the sport or scholarship of their choice.
BulldoG endoWmenTS Ballew Men’s and Women’s Tennis Scholarship Endowment: The late Leighton Ballew, founder of the University’s drama department, established two scholarships to benefit a student-athlete on the men’s tennis and women’s tennis teams. A faculty member for 40 years, Dr. Ballew created these scholarships to provide opportunities for international student-athletes to attend UGA. 2009-10 Recipient: Christian Vitulli Malon Clay Courts Tennis Scholarship Endowment: This scholarship endowment was established in memory and tribute to Malon Clay Courts, 1927 Southern Conference Tennis Champion and 1929 University of Georgia graduate, to benefit a deserving student-athlete on the men’s tennis team. 2009-10 Recipient: Will Oliver Coach Dan Magill Men’s Tennis Scholarship Endowment: Established by friends and former lettermen of legendary tennis coach Dan Magill, this scholarship will annually benefit a men’s tennis student-athlete. During his 59-year association with the University of Georgia, 34 years as head coach, Magill’s teams won 13 SEC outdoor championships, eight indoor league titles, two NCAA team titles and five individual national titles. 2009-10 Recipient: Nate Schnugg Rafael Jordán Men’s Tennis Scholarship Endowment: Established in memory of SEC Champion and AllAmerica tennis player Rafael Jordán, this scholarship will benefit a student-athlete on the men’s tennis team. 2009-10 Recipient: Javier Garrapiz Bonneau Ansley Men’s Tennis Scholarship Endowment: An endowed scholarship for a student-athlete on the Men’s Tennis team has been established in honor of Bonneau Ansley (LLB 1930) by his children and grandchildren, in tribute to his love and devotion for his family and the University of Georgia. 2009-10 Recipient: Jamie Hunt Guy C. Arnall Men’s Tennis Scholarship Endowment: to maintain the tradition of excellence of the Georgia men’s tennis program, both in the classroom and on the court, Guy C. Arnall has established a scholarship benefitting a student-athlete on the men’s tennis team. A 1960 graduate and tennis letterman, Guy is the retired founder of Matrix Insurance Agency, Inc. in Newnan, Ga. ——————————————————————— Friends and former lettermen have established a men’s tennis endowment to honor the legendary Coach Dan Magill, seen here at the 2001 NCAA Men’s Tennis Championships in Athens.
