2019 Season Preview
YOUTHFUL GEORGIA SQUAD AIMS TO PEAK AT THE RIGHT TIME The college tennis season consists of three segments starting with fall individual tournaments, then the indoor portion for the team followed by the outdoor team season. During the fall, the Bulldogs refine their game in preparation for the team season. With the latest fall competition complete, head coach Jeff Wallace reflected on how his latest team is taking form as he enters his 34th season directing the Bulldogs. Under his steady leadership, the Georgia program has advanced to 32 consecutive NCAA Tournaments and finished nationally ranked in the top 25 throughout his tenure including in the top 10 in 29 seasons. During the 2018 fall season, Georgia’s cumulative singles record was 60-25 and doubles was 14-14. Do you look at those numbers or rather how each Bulldog performed? “A little of both. I think we as a group realized we are going to get better in doubles and we are excited that we are going to get better in doubles, so I’m not neccessarily worried about it as 14-14 is somewhat a normal situation for us in doubles. When you are looking at records from the fall it is like 3-0 and 2-0, which just isn’t enough matches. I anticipate we’ll have a better idea after Team Indoors and maybe into the SEC season of what we are going to do. But we have some exciting things that we are going to throw out there in doubles and we will see where it all falls. Also I think you just have to focus on each player and see what they bring to the table.” What are your thoughts on the schedule for the upcoming season? “For us, we just need to focus on our practices, getting through the ITA Kick-Off Weekend and getting out to Seattle for the ITA Team Indoors. We know that all 16 teams in that tournament are capable of beating any other team out there on a given day, so if we get through the Kick-Off Weekend then we need to be ready for an amazing around of 16 match. It could be against a team that could finish in the top-5 of the country.” What can you tell us about the three new Bulldogs? “Meg (Kowalski), had a great first tournament and really looked good, but unfortunately had an injury and the surgery and basically missed most of the rest of the fall. I think her upside is phenomenal. I’m excited about what she can bring to this team being healthy again. You never want anybody to have an injury, but she worked extremely hard in her rehab work and we saw that on the court when she was playing, so we are excited about her future.” “Lourdes (Carle), had the opportunity to

play some other events like the US Open and the Youth Olympics, but sometimes you don’t get enough matches in when you do that. I’m looking forward to her playing weekin and week-out getting a lot of matches in. That is when we will see a lot more with her development. Certainly, she has a lot of upside, but there are things we need to work on with her and we are really looking forward to seeing what she can contribute.” “Alee (Clayton), also came in with a great sense of urgency and played great tennis for us early. I think she settled in and she needs to keep that energy up and that sense of urgency up. I think she is a better athlete when she is feeling like she has to bring it every moment. That is what we are trying to teach and train her to do. Once she brings that every day, she has a lot of upside.”

2019 Season Preview/2018 Fall Recap Marta Gonzalez had an impressive fall showing, what did you see? “Marta healthy is very dangerous and that is what she showed us. She can be as good as anybody in the country. I’m very impressed with what she has gone through. She has transitioned into this incredible tennis player. She has always had an amazing upside and has had great experiences and done well, but now you have somebody that is playing the best tennis that she has ever played and enjoying it as much as you can enjoy it.”
Rankings to Start the Year Six Bulldogs landed on the ITA’s Singles Rankings, released on Nov. 14. No other school had six with the closest team being Vanderbilt with five ranked singles players. The first ITA Team Rankings were released on Jan. 9th with Georgia at No. 5.
And what about Katarina Jokic’s successful fall that saw Georgia’s seventh grand slam singles title in program history? “It was an awesome event that she had to win that big tournament in the fall and put herself as the No. 1 ranked player in the country is a huge honor. At the same time, whenever anybody does something that is outstanding and special and great like that, you just want to be really careful that they don’t feel like ‘Ok, that was my moment.’ They have to immediately get out of that moment and realize that was something that was really great, but why did that happen and what do I need to keep doing to keep growing and that is where our focus is with her - growth. I think some athletes when they do something special, they spend too much time in that moment and months go by and they are still in that moment and they aren’t growing as a student-athlete. For her, that is where our focus is. We think she will transition through that and use it in the right way. It was a great experience and hopefully that will catapult her to do even bigger things in the future.” What can you say about the importance of the staff around you with Drake Bernstein picking up another Assistant Coach of the Year Award, a former Dawg in Will Reynolds becoming the Program Specialist, and the second-straight year a senior transitions into the volunteer coach role in Mariana Gould? “It certainly makes me more comfortable as a head coach. I can come in every day and have these amazing assistants and the people I’m around are so capable and care so much about Georgia. That for me is the number one thing - their desire to be successful for the right reasons and that is the University of Georgia, the Athletic Department and our program. You get that everyday with Drake and Will that is for sure. And to get another senior All-American to stick around after graduation to help coach, while pursuing a graduate degree is awesome.” Do you take anything out of entering the season ranked No. 5 in the nation? “I think we were the only team ranked top-10 in the country that moved up two spots from last year’s final rankings. Some stayed the same and some moved down. The bottom line is it is the first ranking. If I’ve said it one time, I’ve said it a thousand times, it is the last ranking that counts not the first ranking. It is what it is. I think the moving up a little bit is the reflection of a lot of the great fall singles matches we played and the rankings we were able to acheive individually. At the same time it means nothing and does nothing for us. We are still 0-0 and we have every opportunity in front of us.”
INAUGURAL ‘FIRST SERVE’ A SUCCESS ATHENS, Ga. -- Over 400 spectators helped the Georgia men’s and women’s tennis teams kick off the 2019 spring season at the inaugural ‘First Serve’ event on Saturday, Jan. 12th. Those in attendance were treated to an exhibition that featured both programs. The Red team beat the Black squad, 7-4, to earn bragging rights for a year. The courts were then flooded with Georgia tennis fans old and young during an hour-long clinic. “It was just a great event to build excitement for both our tennis programs,” women’s tennis associate head coach Drake Bernstein said. “A lot of fans turned out, which just shows how much tennis means to this community. All of us had a fun time, and it was a perfect way to kick off the upcoming season.” Longtime UGA and Athens radio personality Jeff Dantzler served as the emcee of the event. He, along with the Georgia coaches, introduced both squads to the fans. “It was just a really great idea by our associate head coaches Drake Bernstein and Jamie Hunt,” men’s tennis head coach Manuel Diaz said. “It was a wonderful opportunity to interact with our community with so many kids here interested in the sport of tennis. We saw a couple hundred kids out here and all of them were so good and enthusiastic about our sport. It is great to make that connection and hopefully they will come out and support our team.”

2018 Fall Recap
2018 ORACLE/ITA NATIONAL FALL SINGLES CHAMPION
Katarina Jokic
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Georgia sophomore Katarina Jokic captured the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships singles title on Nov. 11 with a straight set win over senior Kate Fahey of Michigan. The eighth-ranked Jokic went 6-0 in the tournament, winning all of her matches in straight sets to improve to 10-1 to end the fall. As the singles champion, Jokic will receive a main draw wildcard into a 2019 Oracle Challenger Series tournament.
In the final, the participants traded service breaks to open the match before each held to knot it at 2-all. Jokic then held serve for a 3-2 advantage and then converted another break point opportunity for a 4-2 lead. In the seventh game, she fell behind 15-40 and got it back to deuce to force a deciding point with the no-ad format. Jokic won a lengthy rally to take a commanding 5-2 lead. After Fahey held, Jokic closed out the set 6-3. In the second set Fahey raced out to a 3-0 lead before Jokic stormed back to tie it up and then at 4-all, she broke Fahey again for a 5-4 advantage. The Wolverine broke back to make it 5-all and Jokic responded with a service break for a 6-5 lead. The set looked to be headed to a tiebreaker when Fahey took a 40-15 advantage but Jokic responded once again to get it back to deuce. She came through on championship point for a 6-3,7-5 victory. Jokic’s title marked the 11th individual national championship in Georgia women’s tennis history and the first for a Bulldog since Chelsey Gullickson won the 2010 NCAA singles title in Athens. The title goes down as the seventh singles grand slam in Georgia history and the fifth Bulldog to do so as Jokic joins Lisa Span, Angela Lettiere, Agata Cioroch, and Gullickson.

“
This was an amazing experience overall. I won the tournament and had some tough matches, and I learned that I don’t have to play the same game all the time. Also, I learned that I’m tougher than I actually thought I was. I was down 3-0 in the second set and that’s not a good thing after winning the first set. I focused on the next point, I knew she was a tough player, and I had to keep fighting the whole match. No matter what happened each game, I just kept my focus on the next point.
-Katarina Jokic
“
Three days after Jokic won the championship, she was tabbed as the No. 1 collegiate women’s tennis player in the nation by ITA. And 10 days after that, she was recognized on field with a video tribute at Sanford Stadium during the Georgia-Georgia Tech football game in front of a capacity crowd of 92,746.

Jeff WaLlace Head Coach | 34th Year Georgia ‘85 Career: 714-180 (.799)
As the nation’s winningest active women’s tennis coach, Jeff Wallace has built the Georgia Bulldogs into one of the elite college programs. The 2019 season will mark his 34th year with the Bulldogs. The 2018 season marked another successful year for the Bulldogs highlighted by an elite eight apperance in the program’s 32nd-consective NCAA appearance and a No. 7 ITA final ranking with an 18-7 record. The year came with its fair share of milestones. On February 9, Wallace reached the 700-win plateau with a 4-2 win over Texas in the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. Later in the season, Wallace tied his mentor and former coach, Dan Magill, in career wins (706) and enters 2019 wiht 714 victories. Additionally, another Bulldog became a first-time All-American capping a SEC Freshman of the Year campaign. In 2016 and 2017, Georgia finished with a No. 7 and No. 6 ITA final ranking, respectively, while six Bulldogs earned All-America honors. Wallace led a youthful Georgia squad in 2015 to a 24-7 record and the program’s 11th trip to the NCAA Final Four. The Bulldogs sported a roster with five freshmen and only three upperclassmen, but Georgia put up an impressive record, reaching the SEC Tournament Championship and making its deepest run in the NCAA Tournament since 2009. In 2014, Wallace garnered ITA Regional Coach of the Year honors after the Bulldogs enjoyed another banner season, going 24-5 with a final ranking of No. 4. Georgia captured the SEC Tournament title, the NCAA Tournament’s No. 1 overall seed for the first time in school history, advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals plus saw the top duo of Lauren Herring and Maho Kowase reach the NCAA Doubles Final. Wallace became one of three coaches in women’s tennis history to reach the 600-win plateau in 2013. He is one of five active collegiate tennis coaches with at least 600 wins, and is one of five UGA coaches to reach the mark. In 2009 following another memorable campaign when Georgia advanced to its 10th NCAA Final Four, Wallace became the first person to ever be named the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Coach of the Year four times. The 2010 season featured Chelsey Gullickson winning the NCAA singles title at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Wallace’s teams are the picture of consistency. Only

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 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
11
Head Coach Jeff Wallace 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 2015-17.
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 five-time 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.
Success in the Wallace Era In 29 of the past 33 seasons, Georgia has finished with a top-10 national ranking, including No. 1 in 1994 and 2000. In the Wallace era, nine Bulldogs have won grand slam titles, two have won the HondaBroderick Award/tennis, 35 Bulldogs have earned All-America honors 104 times, and 47 different Bulldogs have been listed on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
Family A native of Portland, Oregon, Wallace is married to the former Sabina Marie Horne. They have two children, Brittany Sabina (29) and Jarryd Jeffrey (28). Brittany, who is married to Chris Sjogren, is a graduate of Valdosta State and is working in Atlanta. Jarryd, a 2015 UGA graduate who is married to the former Lea Babcock, is training full-time as a sprinter for the U.S. Paralympic Team. He is a two-time Paralympian (2012, 2016) who competed in London, England and in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jarryd has set several world records, including the 100-meter sprint (10.71 seconds) at the 2015 ParaPan American Games and the 200-meter sprint (22.08 seconds) and the 4x100-meter (40.73 seconds) at the 2013 IPC Athletics Worlds. He has medaled seven times. Sabina, a former All-SEC distance runner at Georgia, was inducted into the North Bay (Ontario, Canada) Sports Hall of Fame in 1996. She has continued to run competitively and has helped Wallace train for road races and marathons. Sabina is the track representative for Georgia’s “G” club, an alumni association for University of Georgia letter-winners.

“ In November, Bernstein was by Katarina Jokic’s side every step of the way in the 2018 Oracle/ITA National Fall Singles Championships.

I’m so proud of Kat and the way she competed all week. Today was the pinnacle of it all. She was tested down 3-0 in the second set and fought back to 3-3. She was broken serving for the championship and bounced right back to get a break to make it 5-all. She was down 15-40 in the last game but she maintained a worker’s mentality through the last point. This is a great step forward for her. We ended the fall with a lot of momentum. We look to continue to work to get ready for the dual match season.

Lourdes Carle
In women’s doubles, Carle played with Columbia’s Maria Camila Osorio Serrano.
“
It was one of the biggest tournaments I’ve ever played in my whole career. I enjoyed it, it was a really good experience, and I enjoyed playing close to my family over there which is not common for me because I always play [events] far from my house and my family and friends. The village was amazing, having the chance to interact with other people, which I think it the biggest thing for the Olympics. You play your sport and you get to know different people from different sports.

In mixed doubles, Carle played with fellow Argentinean Sebastian Baez.

Morgan Coppoc ACCOLADES
All2018 Second Team
Morgan on the Keys:
Q: When do you first start playing the piano? A: Probably when I was 3 or 4 years old, my mom put me in a program that you had to start at that earlier of an an age to get in and from there it just took off from there. I’m very thankful that my parents wanted me to learn and have that talent. It is pretty cool that I can walk by a piano whereever I am and can play. Q: Did you have many recitals? A: Yeah, there were those typical winter recitals, spring recitals and that kind of thing. All the kids in the program would put on a show whether it was solo or groups of the same aged kids. Also there was a thing called Gild, which was sort of like passing on to the next level of the program.
Q: Do you have a favorite song that you play? A: I really like “Bella’s Lullaby” from the movie Twilight. It is that piano song that I really enjoy playing. It is smooth and soothing that is really relaxing. I also like to play “Lost Boy”, by Ruth B. Q: How often do you still play? A: I try to whenever I can. Last year, I lived in ECV and there is a piano in Rooker Hall. Also when I go home, we have one so I play it a lot then. I’ll turn it up and by the time I’m finished, my mom will be watching from the stairs. Q: Do you like any specific artists? A: I love Alicia Keys. I can’t play any of her music, but it is cool to hear the piano in the songs since you don’t hear that much piano in songs nowadays. 24

Did You Know?
In the program’s 44 years, Georgia has only had two letterwinners that reign from The Golden State with Annette Goulak being the second. The first was Lisa Salvatierra who played for the Bulldogs from 1993-95, earning All-SEC doubles honors en route to Georgia’s fourth National Championship in 1994. Salvatierra played sparingly in singles, going just 2-0 on the No. 6 court, but was a fixture in the doubles lineup on the No. 3 court with Anne Chauzu. The duo went 10-2 overall including a perfect 6-0 in SEC play. Salvatierra also picked up Academic All-SEC honors in 1994. The San Francisco native did not start her collegiate career in Athens, but rather Salt Lake City at the University of Utah. Annette Goulak aims to become the Bulldogs’ first All-American from the state of California. 28

2019 Georgia Women’s Tennis

2017-18 Season Review Overview of the Season In head coach Jeff Wallace’s 33rd year at the helm,
the 2018 Georgia Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals in the program’s 32nd-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. For the eighth-straight season, the Bulldogs swept their first and second round opponents to advance to the Round of 16. The Sweet Sixteen matchup against South Carolina served as redemption for the Bulldogs, after dropping the regular season meeting. Elena Christofi and Katarina Jokic grinded out third-set wins to seal the 4-3 victory, sending Georgia to its 15th all-time Elite Eight, and first since 2015. The Bulldogs’ run ended against a streaking Stanford squad that went on to capture the National Championship on its 20th win in a row. Individually, Georgia extended its streak of having at least one Bulldog in the NCAA Singles Championship to 33-straight years, while also having at least one pair in the NCAA Doubles Championship for the 10th-consecutive year. Jokic, one of 13 freshmen in the 64-player singles field, lost in the first round to an eventual semifinalist. In the doubles competition, senior Mariana Gould and Jokic won their first match, before also losing to eventual semifinalists. Christofi and Morgan Coppoc fell in the first round in a third-set match tiebreaker. In the regular season, Georgia notched double-digit wins in the Southeastern Conference for the sixthstraight season, going 10-3. The stern schedule endured by the Bulldogs could be attested to all of their losses stemming from final top-15 ranked teams, including six within the top-10. The lone outside top-10 team Georgia lost to was No. 12 South Carolina, which the Bulldogs reconciled. Georgia associate head coach Drake Bernstein garnered ITA Assistant Coach of the Year honors for the Southeast Region. Wallace picked up win No. 707 in March, passing his mentor and former coach, legendary Georgia men’s tennis coach Dan Magill, in alltime wins. Final Rankings Georgia’s No. 7 final ITA ranking marked the 29th time
the Bulldogs capped the year ranked in the top 10 under Wallace. In the final individual rankings, the Bulldogs had four singles players and two doubles pairs representing the red and black. Katarina Jokic led the group in singles rankings at No. 17 - the highest spot among freshman in the nation. Following in the rankings were senior Kennedy Shaffer (No. 87), sophomore Marta Gonzalez (No. 108), and freshman Morgan Coppoc (No. 110). In doubles, Elena Christofi/ Coppoc finished at No. 13, while the Mariana Gould/Jokic duo was No. 21. Year of Katarina Jokic Jokic, of Novi Grad, Bosnia, put together a remarkable freshman campaign that included earning ITA Singles All-America honors, ITA Southeast Region 36
Rookie of the Year, SEC Freshman of the Year, SEC First-Team, and All-SEC Freshman Team. She also won the ITA SE Regional Singles Championship in the fall, and was named to the ITA National Team Indoor All-Tournament Team with Mariana Gould in February. Playing exclusively at No. 1 singles, Jokic went 12-4 in the dual season, contributing to her team-best 31-8 overall record. Lineup of All-SEC honors A conference-best six players were named to All-SEC teams. Along with Katarina Jokic’s first team nod, Kennedy Shaffer, Elena Christofi, Mariana Gould, Marta Gonzalez, and Morgan Coppoc received second team honors. Senior Laura Patterson was named to the Community Service Team. Off the Court Excelling away from the court, the team earned a 3.38 cummulative grade point average. Individually, Laura Patterson earned ITA Scholar Athlete distinction. Patterson and Mariana Gould graduated on May 4.

Super Regional Format Added to DI Tennis Modification to begin for 2019 championships January 19, 2017 | By Greg Johnson
A super regional format is coming to the Division I Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships in 2019.
That year, the 16 teams advancing from first and second rounds of the tournament will participate in two-team super regionals on the campuses of the higher-seeded teams. The eight super regional winners for each gender will then advance to the finals site. The Division I Competition Oversight Committee supported the change Tuesday during its meeting at the NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
Currently, teams advancing out of the second round move directly to the finals site. Part of the rationale for the change is to provide teams with another opportunity to generate local support and highlight their programs in a championship-caliber competition.
The Division I Men’s and Women’s Tennis Committee also believes the super regional round will address existing scheduling challenges presented by the current Division I Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships format.
The number of teams advancing to the finals site will be reduced from 16 to eight per gender. That will in turn reduce the days of competition from six to four and eliminate the strain of completing eight matches on each of the first two days of competition. The format will also provide scheduling flexibility in the event of inclement weather.
In another change slated for the 2018 championships, the Division I Competition Oversight Committee will allow the tennis committee to place the unseeded teams (Nos. 17-64) geographically in the bracket rather than assign them in pods as is currently done.
The change followed a request from the Competition Oversight Committee last October that asked the tennis committee to either justify or consider modifying its bracketing policies and procedures that vary from the general principles established for all Division I team championships, excluding men’s and women’s basketball.
Through its research, the tennis committee determined that the tennis bracketing principles should be consistent with the general principles. The change will be beneficial for student-athletes, who will miss less class time and spend less time on the road.

Tennis Facilities
DAN MAGILL TENNIS COMPLEX
DAN MAGILL (1921-2014)
The University of Georgia
tennis programs owe much to the hard work and dedication of legendary Bulldog Dan Magill.
The Dan Magill Tennis Complex has long stood as a beacon of excel- • Capacity: 5,000 lence in collegiate tennis. With a total of 16 courts (12 outdoor and four indoor) • Built: 1977 and a total seating capacity of more than 5,000 fans, it is one of the largest • Courts: 12 outdoor/4 indoor on-campus tennis facilities in the country. • Hosted: 34 NCAA 1st/2nd In 2006, the NCAA opted to have one combined site for the men’s and Rounds and/or Championships 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 brand-new 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).

Community Service
BULLDOG SERVICE “It’s always great for our team to get out in the community and give something back to it.” Head Coach Jeff Wallace
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 wellrounded 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.
“We always enjoy getting out in the local community and giving back a little. It’s important to us that we continue to make a differences in peoples’ lives both on and off the court.” Assoc. Head Coach Drake Bernstein
Over the years, the Bulldogs have assisted the local Habitat for Humanity chapter with the construction of a house and helped out the Salvation Army Angel Tree initiative by packagaing and organizing toys for the less fortunate youth in the Athens Area. Caroline Brinson (top, left) was named to the SEC Community Service Team for women’s tennis in 2016 and 2017. Laura Patterson (middle) received the recognition last season.

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 2019 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.
