BILLY CHADWICK
HEAD COACH | 31st YEAR | BELHAVEN COLLEGE | 1974 2009 USPTA National College Coach of the Year Three-time SEC Coach of the Year Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame Mississippi Tennis Hall of Fame Billy Chadwick ranks as one of the top collegiate head coaches and is recognized as one of the most successful head coaches in the history of Ole Miss sports. Following the 2014 season, the legendary coach will step down and turn the reins of the program over to associate head coach Toby Hansson. A member of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and the Mississippi Tennis Hall of Fame, Chadwick has led the Rebels to unprecedented heights on and off the courts in his three decades directing the program. Chadwick began his coaching career at Ole Miss as the women’s tennis coach, laying the foundation for the excellent team they have today. In 1982, he led the Lady Rebels to the SEC finals, AIAW Nationals and the program’s first top 20 national ranking. In 1983, he took over the men’s program, which at the time was last in the conference. In 30 years with Chadwick at the helm, the Rebels have become one of the top teams in the nation on and off the courts. A Mississippi native, Chadwick is one of only 10 active Division I men’s tennis coaches to have led a team to the NCAA Championship Final. Furthermore, he is one of eight active Division I coaches to have taken his team to three or more NCAA Final Fours. With his fifth SEC Championship in 2009, Chadwick 4 | @OLEMISSNOW | @OLEMISSMTENNIS
trails only legendary Ole Miss football coach John Vaught in SEC titles won at The University of Mississippi. Vaught won six conference titles in 1947, 1954, 1955, 1960, 1962 and 1963. Chadwick marked his 30th campaign with the Rebel men in 2013 with the team earning their 15th top 10 national finish in 20 years. Ole Miss is one of just four programs to accomplish this feat. The Rebels captured their 10th SEC West title, qualified for the NCAA Championships for the 20th consecutive year and hosted the NCAA first and second rounds for the 11th time. Individual honors included All-Americans Nik Scholtz and Jonas Lutjen advancing to the NCAA Final Four in doubles. Ole Miss was one of only two schools to have multiple All-Americans in both singles and doubles. Scholtz and Lutjen were two of just six players to end the year ranked top 20 in singles and top 10 in doubles. William Kallberg joined Scholtz and Lutjen on the All-SEC team. In 2012, the Rebels earned the program’s 19th NCAA appearance, advanced to the Sweet Sixteen for the 16th time and finished the year ranked No. 14 in the nation. A record four players earned All-America honors and Nik Scholtz was named the SEC Freshman of the Year. Scholtz reached the NCAA singles quarterfinals, and twins Marcel Thiemann and Chris Thiemann advanced to the

Marcel Thiemann reached the NCAA singles quarterfinals for the second year in a row and earned All-America honors. Tucker Vorster joined Thiemann on the All-SEC team again. Chadwick did perhaps his finest coaching job in 2010 as the Rebels lost four starters from the 2009 SEC Champion squad, including NCAA Champion Devin Britton. Furthermore, senior Kalle Norberg was lost for the year with an injury. The Rebels captured their ninth consecutive SEC West Championship, advanced to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament, made their 17th straight NCAA appearance and ended the year ranked No. 19 nationally.

CHAMPION ON TOUR
MAHESH BHUPATHI 12-Time Grand Slam Champion Mahesh Bhupathi, a former NCAA Doubles Champion at Ole Miss, has confirmed his place in tennis history. He announced recently, that he will play up until Wimbledon of this year before retiring. Bhupathi began a two-year stint on the ATP Player Council in 2012. He also teamed with countryman Rohan Bopanna to compile a 34-22 match record. They closed the season strongly by reaching 3 finals in 4 tournaments including the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, his 5th year-end championship final showing. Bhupathi also won his 12th grand slam title and eighth mixed doubles championship, teaming with Sania Mirza to win the French Open. It was the second grand slam title for the pair, who also won the 2009 Australian Open. In 2011, Bhupathi teamed back up with countryman Leander Paes. The two made a successful return to the courts, winning their home country title in Chennai and falling just short of the one grand slam doubles title that eludes the pair, the Australiian Open. On their way to the finals, Bhupathi won his 600th career match since turning pro in 1995. Only 16 other players in the Open Era have reached the milestone. In 2009, Bhupathi paired with fellow Indian Sania Mirza to capture the Mixed Doubles Championship at the Australian Open for his 11th grand slam title. He and fellow doubles partner, Mark Knowles, ended the year ranked No. 3 in the ATP Rankings. The duo teamed up to reach the finals at the Australian and U.S. Opens and won the title at Barcelona, after winning four titles in their first year together in 2008. Bhupathi finished in the Top 30 individually in the Stanford ATP Doubles Rankings in 2007 for the seventh consecutive year and 11th overall as well as earning his 40th career doubles title. Bhupathi teamed with Martina Hingis in 2006 to capture the Australian Open Mixed Doubles title, bringing his total to 10 career grand slams. In 2005, he teamed with Mary Pierce to claim the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon and then won his fifth mixed doubles title when he and Daniela Hantuchova captured the U.S. Open Championships. In 2004, Bhupathi finished the season ranked in the Top 10 (No. 5 in the ATP Doubles Race with Russia’s Max Mirnyi and No. 7 individually) for the fourth consecutive year and sixth time in seven years. In addition, he won five doubles titles and more than 50 matches for the third year in a row. His five titles came with four different partners. Bhupathi earned a spot in the Tennis Masters Cup in Houston (with Mirnyi). Bhupathi also teamed with Mirnyi to reach the quarterfinals at the 2004 Australian Open and the semifinals at the French Open. He also teamed up with former partner and fellow countryman, Leander Paes, to win the Master Series Toronto and reach the semifinals at the Olympics in Athens, Greece. Bhupathi teamed with Mirnyi in 2003 to win five of an ATP-high nine finals and finished No. 2 in the ATP Team Race standings. The two reached the finals at Wimbledon. In 2002, Bhupathi added two more grand slam titles to his impressive resume. He teamed with Russia’s Elena Likhovtseva to win the Mixed Doubles title at Wimbledon and two months later, he and doubles partner Max Mirnyi won the U.S. Open Championship. In 1999, Bhupathi and his partner, Leander Paes, became the first doubles duo
in the modern era to reach the finals of all four grand slam events in a calendar year. The pair won the French Open Championships and one month later captured the most prestigious of the grand slams, Wimbledon. In addition to winning two doubles grand slam titles in 1999, Bhupathi also captured the U.S. Open Mixed Doubles Championship. After not playing together much in 2000 due to injuries, Bhupathi and Paes returned to the courts together in 2001 and captured their third grand slam title and second French Open Championship. In 15 years on the tour, Bhupathi has won more than six million dollars in prize money and captured 51 doubles titles. Bhupathi became the first player in the history of India to win an ATP Grand Slam title when he won the Mixed Doubles title at the French Open Championships in the summer of 1997. While at Ole Miss, Bhupathi led the Rebels to the NCAA team finals. He became the first Rebel tennis player to win an NCAA title when he teamed with Ali Hamadeh to capture the Doubles Championship in 1995 and ended the year as the No. 1 doubles team in the nation. In addition, Bhupathi was an All-American, 1995 SEC Singles Champion and SEC Player of the Year. Bhupathi credits his success to his college days at Ole Miss. “Although I had good results in junior tennis, I was not ready for the pros physically and mentally,” Bhupathi said. “I credit coach Chadwick for much of my success. I really enjoyed my time at Ole Miss and I still stay in touch with my former teammates.” In 2010, Bhupathi became the first Ole Miss player to be inducted into the ITA Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame.
