2019 Fall Recap
Another Strong Fall for the Bulldogs After one of the best spring seasons in Georgia’s history, the Bulldogs continued that momentum with a strong fall campaign. Georgia added the nation’s No. 3 recruit Lea Ma, and the Dix Hills, N.Y. native made an immediate impact. She ended the fall with a No. 19 ranking by the ITA after going 14-5 in her first stretch of collegiate competition. In September, the Bulldogs opened play at the Puerto Rico Fall Classic. The tournament was highlighted by the 2019 ITA Division I Player of the Year Katarina Jokic and Ma going 3-0, respectively, in singles competition. Overall, Georgia would go 6-0 in doubles action and 11-7 in singles play. Then, Jokic was part of an elite group of 32 athletes that competed at the Oracle ITA Masters in Malibu, Calif. The native of Novi Grad, Bosnia picked up wins against Emilia Occhipinti of Grand Canyon and No. 32 Jessica Failla out of Pepperdine, but ultimately fell short of the championship dropping a close match to No. 9 Jada Hart from UCLA. The fall season continued in Fort Worth, Texas for the Big 12 versus SEC Challenge. Two Bulldogs were named champions of the event, seniors Marta Gonzalez and Elena Christofi. Gonzalez was named the singles champion after going 3-0, winning all matches in straight sets. Christofi was crowned doubles champion after going 2-0, including a win over the eighth-ranked doubles team of Tatiana Makarova and Jayci Goldsmith of Texas A&M. Those two would go on to compete at the Pepperdine Collegiate Invitational in Malibu, Calif., with Gonzalez being the most impressive of the group. She reached the semifinals until falling to Failla of Pepperdine. Christofi and Ma continued play in consolation with Christofi picking up a big win over Emily Arbuthnott out of Stanford. In October, two Bulldogs qualified for the ITA All-America Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Gonzalez and sophomore Meg Kowalski each earned a spot in the elite field. Up next, Georgia headed to Tallahassee, Fla., for the ITA Southeast Regional Championships. Ma would have the best run of her young career, winning five matches and advancing to finals before falling to McCartney Kessler of Florida. Junior Morgan Coppoc was crowned the consolation bracket champion after defeating teammate Kowalski in the final. Christofi reached the doubles finals where they fell to Marie Mattel and Rebeka Stolmar of Central Florida. After her impressive regional showing, Ma a earned spots in the Oracle ITA Fall

Nationals in Newport Beach, Calif. In doubles, Christofi would go on to earn the consolation finals crown after defeating Jessie Gong and Samantha Martinelli of Yale. Jokic ended the fall season for the Bulldogs in November, posting a strong run in a WTA Oracle Challenger Series event in Houston. The tournament featured a mix of top collegiate athletes and professional players. She earned a first-round win over American professional Kayla Day but would fall in the round of 32 losing to Luxembourg native Mandy Minella in three sets. Five Bulldogs finished in the top100 of the 2019 Oracle ITA Final Fall Rankings released last month. After opening up at No. 1, Jokic managed to stay in the top 20 at No. 17 despite competing in only a few collegiate events with a 5-1 record. Ma came in at No. 19 after her first taste of collegiate action after going 14-5. Gonzalez concluded the fall season at No. 46 after going 11-5. Former SEC Freshman of the Year Kowalski finished 6-4 and came in at No. 56. Coppoc capped off the list with a 14-3 mark and the No. 83 spot in the rankings. In doubles, Christofi finished ranked No. 7 after finishing 12-4 in the fall. Gonzalez and Coppoc are at No. 60 after going 2-0.
2020 Season Preview
Experienced Bulldogs Set Sights on Championships After coming off an impressive 28-2 season, Georgia, with the additions of No. 3 ranked recruit Lea Ma as well as Warsaw, Poland native Anna Hertel. Hertel will bring a wealth of experience to Athens as she earned herself a career best juniors ranking of No. 46. Both will make an immediate impact in team play. Head Coach Jeff Wallace is set to take on his 35th season as the program leader and will return two seniors in Elena Christofi and Marta Gonzalez who are both coming off very strong fall seasons Four juniors will return as well. Morgan Coppoc and Anette Goulak will bring strong consistency to the Bulldogs lineup, as well as 2019 ITA Division I Player of the Year Katarina Jokic. Vivian Wolff rounds out the junior class who herself is coming off a fantastic fall season including a doubles consolation championship in the Oracle ITA Fall Nationals with Christofi. Two sophomores will look to improve upon the foundation laid in their freshman seasons with the team. Alee Clayton is coming off her first full year of collegiate tennis with a record of 7-4 in the spring along with Meg Kowalski who had a strong fall campaign who earned a spot in the field of 64 at the ITA All-American Championships, as well as coming up just shy of a consolation finals victory at the ITA Southeast Regional Championships losing to teammate Coppoc. Hertel arrived in Athens in January and did not compete in fall competition for the Bulldogs. Ma came off a very strong fall campaign in her first collegiate action finishing with a No. 19 ranking in the final fall rankings by ITA after a 14-5 record. Her best run came in the ITA Southeast Regional where she won five straight matches to reach the finals before falling in the finals match. “The team and the coaching staff are really excited about the upcoming 2020 season,” Wallace said. We had a great fall but the spring is where we as a team really thrive and get super excited, competing for each other and competing for the Dawgs as a team. We’re really looking forward to this upcoming year. We had such an amazing spring last year and the experience that we learned, and experiences that we had I think are just going to completely help us a great deal.” The Bulldogs will begin their season with the ITA Kick-Off event featuring Notre Dame, Furman and Michigan State. Then after two matches against Georgia Tech and Clemson, Georgia will head to Chicago, Ill., to defend their indoor championship title before returning home where the 2019 SEC regular season Champions will begin conference competition in February. The SEC Tournament will be hosted by Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where the Bulldogs finished second last season falling just short to South Carolina. The NCAA tournament will begin on May 1 at various campus host sites, followed by the Super Regional. The NCAA Finals will be hosted by Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., beginning on May 14 and with singles and doubles competition concluding on May 23.
Freshman Lea Ma finished her first collegiate tennis action with a fall season record of 14-5 and a No. 19 ranking.

Tennis Facilities
DAN MAGILL TENNIS COMPLEX
DAN MAGILL (1921-2014)
The University of Geor-
gia tennis programs owe much to the hard work and dedication of legendary Bulldog Dan Magill.
He developed the Geor-
gia tennis complex into the finest on-campus tennis facility in the country which includes 12 outdoor courts, four indoor, and grandstand and private box seating for 5,000. He also spearheaded the move to locate the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame facility on the Georgia campus. For his efforts, the entire facility was officially named the “Dan Magill Tennis Complex” in 1993.
Magill passed away in
August 2014 at the age of 93. 8
The Dan Magill Tennis Complex has long stood as a beacon of • Capacity: 5,000 excellence in collegiate tennis. With a total of 16 courts (12 outdoor and • Built: 1977 four indoor) and a total seating capacity of more than 5,000 fans, it is • Courts: 12 outdoor/4 indoor one of the largest on-campus tennis facilities in the country. • Hosted: 34 NCAA 1st/2nd Rounds In 2006, the NCAA opted to have one combined site for the men’s and/or Championships and women’s tennis championships. Georgia has served as a host for the combined NCAA Tennis Championships in 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2015, and 2017. Regarded as one of the best collegiate tennis facilites in America, the complex hosted the men’s NCAA Championships a total of 24 times, the women’s Championships three times and both genders five times, most recently in 2017. It played host to 13 NCAA Championship in a row from 1977-89. The complex underwent a $7.5 million development and renovation project in 2002 that included the construction of brandnew clubhouses for the men’s and women’s programs. In 1991, the complex received lights thanks to the generous support of Oscar-winning actress and Athens native, Kim Basinger. Five of Georgia’s six National Championships in men’s tennis and one of the two women’s NCAA titles were won on their home courts at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Aside from Georgia’s best players, the Magill Tennis Complex has hosted classic matchups featuring such stars as John McEnroe and the Bryan brothers. Former Bulldog All-American John Isner is having a successful professional career ranked in the top 20 in the world. Former Bulldog Chelsey Gullickson captured the 2010 NCAA singles title at the Magill Tennis Complex and went on to play in the US Open in singles and doubles. Recent Bulldog Ellen Perez has competed at the 2016 US Open as well as the last three Australian Opens (2017-19).

Magill Tennis Complex. Wallace’s teams are the picture of consistency. Only once during his time as coach of the Bulldogs has the team missed the NCAA Tournament, and that was his first year in 1986.
Playing/Coaching Career
A 1985 graduate of the University of Georgia, Wallace capped his playing career under legendary Bulldog head coach Dan Magill in 1984 after winning the SEC singles title at the No. 6 spot. The very next season, his first as coach of the Bulldogs, Wallace led a struggling team up the path of respectability by posting a 20-9 mark and landing a spot in the final Volvo Tennis/ITCA Top 25 poll. In 1987, just two years removed from a losing record, Georgia advanced to the national championship match. Although they didn’t win it that year, the Bulldogs would have their day.
NCAA Champions
The 1994 season ranks as one of the most dominant ever in women’s tennis history. It found Georgia on the champion’s pedestal in every major team tournament possible: NCAA Champions, USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Champions, and SEC regular season and tournament champions. Top that all off with a 27-2 overall record including a perfect 14-0 SEC mark and a season sweep of arch-rival Florida, and it’s easy to see why Wallace was named coach of the year. The 2000 Bulldogs went 27-2, winning the Southeastern Conference title and the NCAA National Championship. In the title match on the campus of Pepperdine, Georgia dethroned the
Head Coach Jeff Wallace defending champion Stanford Cardinal 5-4, snapping a 48-match winning streak. Wallace was named the Wilson/ITA National Coach of the Year.
USTA/ITA National Team Indoors
Under Wallace, the Bulldogs have been among the most successful teams at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championships. The annual event attracts the nation’s finest programs. The Bulldogs have won the title three times (1994, 1995, 2002) and have reached at least the semifinals 17 times including three straight years from 201517.
Developing Talent
His record for developing players and having them maximize their potential has been evident throughout his tenure. For example in 2015, he guided the team to a 24-7 record and the program’s 11th trip to the Final Four, the team’s first trip to the NCAA Semifinal since 2009. The Bulldogs finished the season ranked No. 5 in the country. In 2013, the Bulldogs won their ninth regular season SEC championship after going 24-4 and clinching its third consecutive 20-plus win season. The Bulldogs went undefeated at home (14-0) for the first time since 2009 and 12th time in program history. In 2001, Agata Cioroch arrived from Poland and played No. 5 for the Bulldogs as a freshman. Two years later, she became Georgia’s top talent and in 2004 was the No. 1-ranked player in college tennis for much of the season. Cioroch concluded her career as a fivetime All-American with two grand slam singles titles. Strong doubles teams are a key component for a successful college tennis team. There have been six Bulldog tandems under Wallace to finish the season ranked No. 1. In 2009, two of Georgia’s top players were freshmen, Chelsey Gullickson and Nadja Gilchrist, and by the end of the year they had earned All-America honors. Gullickson was named the ITA National Rookie of the Year, advanced to the NCAA Singles semifinals and tied a school record with 69 combined wins. Gullickson and Gilchrist became the first freshmen in school history to play No. 1 doubles in the lineup. In 2010, the pair earned All-America honors again and Gullickson became the second Bulldog to win an NCAA singles title in Athens under Wallace and the third overall in the history of the program. She would finish her career in 2012 as the school’s first ever eight-time All-American and own the record for victories. Meanwhile, Lauren Herring became the fourth Bulldog under Wallace to be named SEC Freshman of the Year, and the sophomore All-SEC tandem of Maho Kowase and Lilly Kimbell posted a school record of their own by going 22-0 at No. 3. While the depth of talent can vary each season, the results remain consistent. This was no more evident than in 2002. Despite having only one player earn All-America honors, Georgia went undefeated during the regular season, won the USTA/ITA National Team Indoor title, the SEC championship and advanced to the NCAA “Final Four.” The 2002 squad finished with a 26-2 record and final national ranking of No. 3. Georgia went 13-0 at home and extended its home winning streak to 50 straight.

2019 Season Review
Bulldogs Claimed Fourth Indoor National Title In 2019, The Georgia women’s tennis team defeated No. 3 North Carolina, 4-3, to win the 2019 ITA National Team Indoor Championship at the Nordstrom Tennis Center in Seattle, Wa. This is the sixth Indoor National Title for the Bulldogs under Head Coach Jeff Wallace. The Bulldogs’ run to the title started with a sweep in the ITA Kick-Off Weekend two weeks prior to determine seeding and continued with victories over No. 14 NC State, No. 2 Vanderbilt, No. 1 Stanford, and finally No. 3 North Carolina, who were the defending indoor champions. The Georgia women’s tennis program contains now four USTA/ITA National Team Indoor Championships and two NCAA Championships (1994, 2000). The 2019 squad joins members of the 1994, 1995, and 2002 teams in winning the National Indoors. “It is exciting,” Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace said. “I’m really proud of this team, the coaches, and the support staff that was here. It was a total team effort, which makes it really special. Drake [Bernstein – Associate Head Coach] and I spent a lot of time talking to the team about the importance of supporting each other and being a true team and then to see them pull together like they have and lift each other up in tough situations and comeback in these tough matches that we are able to get in close fashion – really, really says a lot.” The last remaining point to determine the championship occurred on the first court between the two teams’ highest-ranked singles players. The matchup between Georgia’s No. 2-ranked Katarina Jokic, the defending ITA National Indoor Singles Champion, and sixthranked Makenna Jones. By the time the team score was knotted at 3-all, Jokic and Jones were deadlocked at 5-all in the third set. The two players broke each other’s serve to send the decider into the tiebreaker. In the tiebreaker, Jokic obtained the commanding lead when she broke back-toback Jones’ serves and then held to go up 5-1. Three games later, the rest of the Georgia squad overwhelmed Jokic as the match point from Jones sailed out. Jokic prevailed 6-7(3), 7-5, 7-6(2) for the national championship clinch. The sophomore is 16-2 with 13 ranked wins this season. Elena Christofi and Meg Kowalski put Georgia on the board first, and then

a third-set Vivian Wolff victory inched the Bulldogs one point away from the championship. Even prior to Jokic’s clinch, junior Marta Gonzalez was entangled in back-to-back tiebreakers in the second and third sets, but ultimately lost which sent all attention to court one. One of the most impressive parts of Georgia’s championship run was that it was done exclusively in singles. Doubles against the Wolfpack was bypassed for speed of play, but the Bulldogs went into singles behind in the last three matches and still won. The Tar Heels had firm control of doubles, despite Georgia’s No. 3 doubles team of Jokic and Kowalski defeating Sara Daavettila and Alee Sanford, 6-1, in the first court to finish. The two teams split the first sets in singles as Chrisofi, Kowalski, and Gonzalez represented Georgia’s. Christofi, a junior from Athens, Greece, was the first singles court to conclude, defeating No. 104 Alee Sanford, 6-2, 6-2. Next, Kowalski, ranked No. 84, held off UNC senior Jessie Aney in a second set tiebreaker to win, 6-2, 7-6(3). Christofi upped her overall record to 9-5, while Kowalski, a freshman from Chicago, kept her unblemished record at 11-0. The Tar Heels notched a win on court three with No. 7 Alex Graham besting No. 102 Lourdes Carle, 6-0, 5-7, 6-2 to tie the match at 2-all. Carle, a freshman from Daireaux, Argentina, was down 2-5 in the second set, before winning five-straight games to force the third. Next, Wolff, ranked No. 58, dispatched No. 20 Cameron Morra, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 for the 3-2 Georgia lead. Wolff, Jokic and Carle each responded after losing the first set by taking second sets. With the team score at 3-2, it ap-
peared as though Gonzalez, ranked No. 10, was going to close it out, but No. 15 Sara Daavettila won four-straight games to even it at 5-all in the third set and then won out in the tiebreaker for final score, 3-6, 7-6(4), 7-6(3). The conclusion of court two set the table for the Jokic/Jones battle.

Community Service
First Serve
Associate Head Coach Drake Berstein, Meg Kowalski, Vivian Wolff, Marta Gonzalez, Elena Christofi assisting the local Habitat for Humanity chapter with the construction of a house. The Bulldogs have also helped with the Salvation Army ANgel Tree initiative by packaging and oranzing toys for the less fortunate in the Atehns area. Kowalski was named to the SEC Community Service team for the 2019 season.
The UGA women’s tennis team has a long-standing history of service to the Athens and northeast Georgia communities. Over the years, the team has embarked on two community service projects in the area with Habitat for Humanity in September and the Salvation Army Angel Tree initiative in December. Head coach Jeff Wallace’s dedication to building character and well-rounded student-athletes extends far beyond the most recent season, though. Since the Southeastern Conference (SEC) began handing out the honor in 2004, a UGA women’s tennis player consistently has appeared on the SEC Community Service Team. In addition, the Bulldogs are one of the most decorated programs in the nation when it comes to academic awards. A total of 47 student-athletes have amassed 102 awards on the SEC Academic Honor Roll since 1984 plus an additional 12 have made the SEC First-Year Academic Honor Roll that the league office began in 2003. All of this speaks volumes to the team’s ability to pursue excellence both on and off the court.
For the first time in Georgia tennis’ histroy, fans got their first glimpse of the 2019 University of Georgia men’s and women’s tennis teams at the inaugural ‘First Serve’ event at the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Tennis Courts. The first-ever ‘First Serve’ raised the curtain on the 2019 spring tennis season as both squads were in attendance for team exhibitions, poster signings and a kids/ adult tennis clinic. Jeff Dantzler, University of Georgia and Athens radio personality and longtime Georgia tennis supporter, served as the event’s emcee.

Circle of Honor
BULLDOGS IN THE CIRCLE OF HONOR The Circle of Honor is designed to pay tribute to extraordinary student-athletes and coaches who by their performance and conduct have brought honor to the university and themselves, and who by their actions have contributed to the tradition of the Georgia Bulldogs. The criteria for selection also stipulate that each recipient has earned his or her academic degree.
Angela Lettiere
Marrisa Catlin
Catlin, a native of Clearwater, Fla., played for Georgia from 1997-2000, helping the Lady Bulldogs claim the NCAA title her senior year. Catlin was a seven-time All-American, a three-time pick for the Rolex All-Star Team and a two-time selection to the USA Tennis Collegiate Team. She claimed two grand slam doubles titles in 1999 and reached the finals in four others during her career. Catlin went 123-29 in singles and 93-16 in doubles as a Lady Bulldog. In 1998, Catlin claimed the Honda Award as the nation’s top tennis player and was named the SEC Player of the Year. She finished the year with the country’s top ranking (the first Lady Bulldog to do so), boasting a 37-4 singles record and a 25-4 doubles mark. Catlin also was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll. Lettiere concluded her collegiate tennis career on a high note, winning the 1994 NCAA singles championship and leading the Bulldogs to both the NCAA and SEC team titles. During her career, she was one of only two players in collegiate history to play in three consecutive ITA Grand Slam Finals in one season: the NCAA Championships, the Rolex National Indoor Championships and the Riviera All-American Championships. In addition to her singles dominance in 1994, Lettiere teamed with Michelle Anderson to become Georgia’s first women’s Grand Slam national champion doubles team, winning the Rolex National Indoors. Lettiere and Anderson finished 1994 as the nation’s top-ranked women’s collegiate doubles team. In 1994, Lettiere was named National Player of the Year and SEC Player of the Year, and she earned AllAmerica status in both singles and doubles. Lettiere, a marketing major, also made the SEC Academic Honor Roll as a senior.

Endowment Program
TENNIS ENDOWMENTS Ensuring the Future of UGA Athletics The Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program was instituted to allow supporters of the University of Georgia Athletic Association to invest in the educational opportunities of UGA student-athletes. The program is vital to the future of Georgia Athletics by providing the long-term solution of keeping pace with escalating expenses. A gift to establish a scholarship provides income towards funding a scholarship each year and permanently memorializes the donor or any individual whose honor the scholarship is named. A full scholarship is endowed through a gift of $150,000. There are four women’s tennis scholarship endowments including one established by the UGAAA in honor of the 2000 team which won both the NCAA and SEC titles. For more information about the Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program or other giving opportunities, please contact the UGAAA Development office at (877) 423-2947. Leighton Ballew Scholarship Endowment Katarina Jokic is the 2020 recipient of the Leighton Ballew tennis scholarship. It is awarded annually to an international student-athlete who has demonstrated commitment to the University in an outstanding manner, both in the classroom and on the court. If no international student-athlete exists, selection of a student-athlete recipient is based on the aforementioned criteria. The late Mr. Ballew was a UGA faculty member for 40 years and founded the drama department. 1999: Vanessa Castellano 2000: Zoë Mellis 2001: Aarthi Venkatesan 2002: Tina Hojnik 2003-04: Agata Cioroch 2005: Jitka Schonfeldova
