REVIEW

US number... t And for the BON s and Rob Weir se er et P l oe J s er ag ... Man r rackets during thei g in ng ri st r fo s gh career hi 1,139 gether, they strung To T. U at s ar ye senior them re season, 743 of ti en e th ng ri du s racket in the spring.

Perfection is a difficult achievement, especially in the SEC. Tennessee strung together its first undefeated SEC season since 1990, going 11-0 and clinching the regular-season conference title with a 6-1 home victory over Georgia. The Vols won the SEC Tournament a week later.

Tennessee has now won eight SEC titles (1951, 1966, 1970, 1980, 1986, 1990, 2000 and 2010) and three SEC Tournament championships (1990, 2002 and 2010).

16

The Vols shut out opponents in 16 of their 31 victories, a trend that did not change once the postseason rolled around.

The Vols became the first school in SEC Tournament history to win the title by recording three consecutive sweeps, defeating LSU, Mississippi and Florida 4-0. Tennessee also won three NCAA Tournament matches in 4-0 fashion.

The Vols demolished the previous school record of 10 shutouts in a season, which was set in 1965. They also tied the 1964 record of five consecutive shutouts, doing so to open the year.

23

As the tired saying goes, there’s no place like home.

The Vols won all 16 home matches in 2010 to extend their winning streak in Knoxville to 23 matches.

They have not lost at Goodfriend Tennis Center or Barksdale Stadium since falling 4-2 to Kentucky in a non-conference indoor match Feb. 21, 2009.

31

The Vols won 31 dual matches in 2010, marking just the second time Tennessee has won 30 or more games in a year. The record of 34 wins was set in 1990 under the guidance of Mike DePalmer Sr., the program’s winningest coach (299 victories from 1981-94).

38

UTSports.com

Matteo Fago clinched the Vols’ first SEC regular season title in 10 years when he won a tiebreaker at the No. 5 position during the season finale in front of more than 1,500 fans at Barksdale Stadium.

41-7 to set the freshman winning percentage record at .854 and recorded the second-most wins by a first-year player.

32

Tennessee won the doubles point in 32 of 33 matches in 2010. By comparison, the Vols won only 19 of 30 doubles points the year before.

Without question, the Vols assembled one of their strongest doubles lineups ever, with two pairings ranked in the top 10 nearly the entire season. Smith and Davey Sandgren ended the year ranked third and won 24 matches at the top of UT’s lineup.

Conkic and Williams played at No. 2 in the lineup and were ranked as high as fourth nationally with a 25-1 dual match record. They finished with 34 wins together, which ranked fourth in a season in UT history.

Tennessee solidified its lineup as the season progressed, thanks to junior Matteo Fago and freshman Edward Jones. They started playing together during the SEC season and won nine of their last 10 matches together. Fago and Jones were named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team for their 4-0 performance at No. 3 doubles.

41

The number 41 was so telling for the Vols that it deserves two entries.  Part I: Sandgren and Smith finished 41-9 to break the 24-year-old school record for doubles victories in a season. Their final four wins came in the last days of the May as they marched back to the NCAA doubles final before falling to Virginia. Tennessee has been represented in the national championship four times in program history, and Sandgren and Smith count for half those appareances.

Sandgren and Smith finished their doubles career together with 80 victories over three seasons, 73 of those wins coming in the last two years.

Byron Talbot and Shelby Cannon had held the season doubles record for some time, winning 40 matches together in 1986. No surprises here: they also hold the career record for doubles victories as a pairing with 102 from 1985-88.  Part II: Smith and Williams both finished with 41 singles victories, marking just the second time a pair of UT teammates have logged at least 40 wins in a season. Williams ended the year

94

Winterbotham has a 94-21 overall record in his first four seasons at Tennessee, which places him comfortably on track to become the fastest coach in program history to reach 100 victories. Thirty-five of Winterbotham’s wins have come in SEC play.

Mike DePalmer Sr., who coached the Vols from 1981-94 and led Tennessee to its first NCAA final appearance, reached the 100-win marker in 137 matches.

110

Most players don’t reach 110 career wins in four seasons, yet Smith arrived at that milestone in both singles and doubles after just three years. Bear in mind too that many of those wins have come at the top of the lineup and in the nation’s biggest tournaments.

He spent nearly a month at No. 1 in the national singles ranking during the spring and was ranked No. 1 in doubles through the fall with Sandgren.

Talbot is still UT’s career leader in both categories with 161 singles wins and 131 victories in doubles.
