Tennis Facilities

The Varsity Courts serve as the outdoor home of the Vols. In the event of inclement weather, the Big Orange will move next door to the Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center. Both facilities are located on the UT campus. The facilities are located on the corner of Caledonia Avenue and Volunteer Boulevard, behind Andy Holt Apartments.

2009 Season Preview Vols bring back 6 lettermen from 23-4 season in 2008

In 2008, Tennessee was considered a tennis program on the rise but still a year or two away from being a threat. UT was talented but with four true freshmen expected to play a big role it was expected that the Big Orange would take their fair share of lumps. The young Vols though did not experience many bumps though on their way to a 23-4 record and season-ending top-10 finish. The Vols return six lettermen from that team and know that in 2009 Tennessee will be circled on every opponent’s schedule.

The “ W ’s” Lead the Way Head coach Sam Winterbotham and associate head coach Chris Woodruff are at the forefront of the Tennessee resurgence. Winterbotham helped build Baylor into a powerhouse in the early 2000s and then turned Colorado from a bottom-dweller to an NCAA tournament berth and a top-25 ranking before coming to Tennessee. Chris Woodruff is Tennessee’s most decorated tennis player ever and is one of the best American tennis players of his generation, reaching ATP heights of No. 12 in the world before retiring. The two have combined to head the Tennessee tennis program to a 40-12 record in the last two seasons. In 2008 both received accolades, Winterbotham was the SEC Coach of the Year while Woodruff was named the Region III Assistant Coach of the Year. The two highly acclaimed coaches gives UT one of the best staffs college tennis has to offer.

2009 Schedule Designed to Make Vols Tournament Ready Winterbotham put together a schedule this season that he hopes will prepare his team for an extended NCAA tournament run. “We have a tremendous schedule and we have the opportunity to play in five different tournaments through out the year. The schedule is set up so that we are tournament ready by the time the NCAA tournament comes around. Our schedule is 12

challenging but we plan on having success throughout the year preparing us for a run at the national championship.” UT has an opportunity to play in three tournaments leading up to the NCAA tournament. The Vols host one of 16 regionals on the last weekend of January with the 16 regional winners advancing to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. In March, UT plays in the prestigious BlueGray Intercollegiate Tennis Classic in Alabama and in April they play in the SEC tournament hosted by Auburn. In the non-conference schedule, UT will play the usual assortment of in-state opponents with a mix of national teams. The Vols open the 2009 season when they host ETSU. The Bucs are one of the best midmajor tennis programs in the nation. Another highlight is a trip to Champaign, Ill., on Feb. 7 to face Illinois. UT fell 4-3 to Illinois in 2007 but returned the favor in 2008 by knocking off the Illini 4-3 in Knoxville. The match promises to once again be a great test for the Vols as they head into SEC play. The Southeastern Conference will once again be center stage in the college tennis world. Georgia won its second consecutive National Championship last season but not before Tennessee defeated the Bulldogs 43 in Knoxville in April. Ole Miss, Florida, as well as the Volunteers, advanced to the round of 16 last season and all three schools will push Georgia. UT will start eighth in the 2009 ITA team rankings. Four of the top-10 teams in the country are from the SEC and overall the SEC has eight teams ranked in the preseason top30. The Vols also host Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and South Carolina and travel to Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.

No Seniors for UT The Vols only lost one player from their singles and doubles lineup but UT still will find itself as one of the nation’s younger teams. This season UT will have 11 players on their roster: two juniors, five sophomores and four freshmen. Matt Brewer and Davey Sandgren are UT’s two “veterans” on the roster. Newcomer Christopher Williams is a junior but Tennessee Tennis

this spring marks his first semester on the roster. Brewer is one of Tennessee’s hardest workers and did a good job stepping up and giving the Big Orange some big victories. The Knoxville native clinched UT’s win over South Carolina this past season and is in the mix to be a regular contributor in 2009. “Matt did a great job this fall,” Winterbotham said. “He’s come on and really continued to develop. When Matt goes out and plays well, he’s a very good college tennis player. He’s worked really hard on consistently being out there and doing the things we teach him. He was consistent this fall and is certainly putting himself into the picture of helping this team.” Sandgren was only a sophomore in 2008 but was the second oldest member of the lineup behind senior Kaden Hensel. Sandgren was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2007 and while the Gallatin, Tenn., native got off to a slow start in 2008 he finished strong, ending with over 20 singles victories. The Aerospace engineering major is also one of UT’s best doubles players winning 25 matches as a sophomore. “Davey’s really stepped up on the doubles court,” Winterbotham said. “He’s made a big push to play at the high end of the doubles lineup. He continues to work on his singles game and I expect him to step up and win some big matches for us in the spring.”

Sophomore Class One of Nation’s Best In 2008, UT’s freshmen class was unbelievable as they went a combined 68-18 (.791) in UT’s dual matches. “We had freshmen that were green coming in but really handled the year as well as we could hope. They’ve seen it all now, they know what to expect and know what is expected of them. Everything that got thrown at them they handled with ease. I think they are as good as any class in the country.” The group is led by Australia native John-Patrick Smith. Smith racked up accolades left and right after finishing the season with a team-high 33 singles wins.

2009 Season Preview Vols bring back 6 lettermen from 23-4 season in 2008

Smith was named All-America, first team All-SEC, SEC Freshman of the Year, Region III Rookie of the Year and he won all of these awards prior to advancing to the final match of the NCAA singles championship. “J.P. had maybe the best freshman year of anybody at any school last season. He’s still developing and has areas to improve on but we think he’s done exceptionally well. It’s important that J.P. reminds himself that he’s a sophomore. He doesn’t need to go out there and win every match and we aren’t expecting him to do that. He’s playing in the toughest conference at the toughest position and he just needs to keep working and improving and the results will come.” Boris Conkic would have had a good argument to be the SEC Freshman of the Year if it wasn’t for his teammate. The Novi Sad, Serbia native went 28-6 in singles, giving him a winning percentage of .824 which is the seventh highest single season winning percentage in UT tennis history. Conkic was a member of the AllSEC Freshmen team and a second team All-SEC selection. “Boris proved this past fall that he can play with the best players in college, Winterbotham said. “I feel Boris has the ability to be a top-10 college tennis player. He has something to prove and he needs to go out and do that to. Chris and I believe he can be the best player in collegiate tennis.” Matteo Fago was also on the All-SEC Freshmen team giving UT three of the five members on the team. The Italy native joined the team in January but caught on quickly finishing with an 18-6 singles record. Fago was dominant in SEC play going 11-0 and becoming the first Vol since Brice Karsh in 1990 to go undefeated in SEC play. “Matteo’s really just about to enter this sophomore year,” Winterbotham said. “He has two semesters of college under his belt now and I think he’s really starting to get it. I’m excited about what Matteo brings to the team and how hard he works.. We expect big things from him.” The final member of the sophomore class is Jeremy Tweedt. The Paris, France native narrowly missed out on joining his classmates on the All-SEC Freshmen team but still had a fantastic rookie campaign. Tweedt went 24-12 in singles, including a

9-2 mark in SEC dual-match play. “Jeremy had a tremendous end to the fall and he worked very hard on different aspects of his game,” Winterbotham said. “I think he is maturing as a tennis player and that’s very exciting because his talent is obvious. He is in a position right now to put it all together and we are going to rely on him to do that this year.”

Five Newcomers Join Vols Tennessee will usher in five newcomers to SEC tennis in January. Christian Hansen and Bryan Swartz joined the team in August and played in fall tournaments. Taylor Patrick and Max Stevens both elected to graduate early from high school to join the Vols and Chris Williams transferred to UT from Wofford. All three joined the team this January Hansen is from Cologne, Germany and was a highly sought after prospect. The UT netter advanced to the quarterfinals of the Charles Fluitt Invitational in October. “Christen is a very talented tennis player, who is starting to understand that college tennis is a tremendously high level,” Winterbotham said. “As he makes this realization, he’s ready to make that next step and help the team. He needs to continue to develop and improve and if he does that we believe he will accomplish great things for this program.” Swartz came to Tennessee from Sarasota, Fla., and his build is very reminiscent of what two-time All-America Kaden Hensel looked like when he started his career. Swartz has a bright future ahead of him as a member of the tennis squad. “Bryan is a quality individual who has come in and worked extremely hard,” Winterbotham said. “The difference between junior tennis and college tennis starts with the competitiveness and Bryan is learning that the most competitive players win tennis matches not necessarily the best players. He’s working as hard as anybody to make that jump.” Stevens hails from Dallas, Texas and is ranked as a five-star recruit by tennisrecruiting.net. The Highland Park high school product is ranked as the 33rd-best tennis recruit in the class of 2009 and the No. 2 recruit in Texas. “Max has tremendous potential. He’s coming in at semester and is planning to Developing Champions

redshirt and that will give him such a head start on the fall. He’s a really good competitor and somebody we expect to have a tremendous career here. I think it’s an advantage to come in a semester early and acclimate to college life and if he comes in and works hard he’ll take advantage of it.” Patrick hails from Knoxville and is the nephew of Lady Vol co-head tennis coaches Mike Patrick and Sonia HahnPatrick. As a freshman at Bearden, Patrick won the Class AAA state doubles championship with partner Hunter Maltzburger. After the season he was named Knoxville News-Sentinel PrepXtra tennis player of the year. Since then, he has won the Knoxville Racquet Club Mid-Winter boys and girls Southern Level 3 junior tournament in January and the Pepsi Junior Open in Florence, S.C.., in April. “Taylor is a tremendous talent and is a great athlete. He is taking advantage of that extra semester. We think the training and development over the next six-eight months will give him the ability to shine as a freshman.” The final piece of UT’s 2009 roster is transfer Chris Williams. Williams is from Knoxville and graduated from West high school before deciding to attend Wofford. After two years as a Terrier, where he played all over the doubles lineup and at the No. 4, 5 and 6 singles positions he decided to transfer home to UT. “Christopher joined the program this January and he’s allready made an immediate impact. He’s not only a great tennis player but he is a high character guy. The more quality individuals you have in a program the higher chance of success your team has. We know that everyday he is going to give everything he has to this program.”

Sam Winterbotham 2008 SEC Coach Of The Year

Head Coach Sam Winterbotham hrough two seasons at Tennessee, Sam WinT terbotham has certainly gotten the attention of the nation’s other tennis coaches. Other programs tend to notice when you go 4012 in your first two years, end two-time National Champion Georgia’s 40-match SEC win streak and return a powerhouse program back to the nation’s elite. But in two years Sam Winterbotham has done all of that. In 2008, Winterbotham was named SEC Coach of the Year after leading a team that comprised of one senior, three sophomores and five freshmen to a 23-4 record. The 2008 Vols, with a lineup that usually consisted of four freshmen, one sophomore and one senior, roared out to a 10-0 record defeating the likes of Clemson and Illinois. In SEC action, UT continued its sound play only dropping two matches in conference play, both by identical 4-3 scores. The regular season was highlighted by UT’s come-from-behind 4-3 win over eventual National Champion Georgia in both teams regular season finale. The win ended Georgia’s 40-match SEC win streak. UT ended the season ranked in the top-10. Senior Kaden Hensel and freshman John-Patrick Smith were both named All-America. Boris Conkic was a second team All-SEC selection and Matteo Fago made the SEC All Freshmen team. “The 2008 team had a fighting spirit that allowed them to win some very tough matches, Winterbotham said. “We are going to give our best effort and fight to the last point. That is the Tennessee way. We fight for every point. We respect our opponents and we are going to give

our best all the time. I really thought the 2008 team bought into that.” The Vols went 17-8 in Winterbotham’s rookie campaign. The 17 victories ties Winterbotham with former men’s tennis coach John Kreis for the most victories in an inaugural season at UT. In Winterbotham’s first year he also produced an All-America in Kaden Hensel and had two All-SEC performers (Hensel and Davey Sandgren). Winterbotham is about more then just tennis though. He also stresses academics to his athletes.. Two out of the four full semesters that Winterbotham has been at UT his team has had the highest team GPA of all Tennessee teams. He also has coached eight SEC Academic Honor Roll athletes and most recently in the fall of 2008, seven Vol netters earned Thornton Center Honor Roll (GPA of 3.0 or higher). Winterbotham was named the tenth coach in Tennessee tennis history on Oct. 24, 2006 after spending the previous four seasons as the head coach at Colorado. “We are excited about Sam joining our staff as our new head men's tennis coach," Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton said. "His success at Baylor and Colorado provide a great foundation for his work at the University of Tennessee. In particular at Colorado, he resurrected a program and improved the team's performance in every facet on and off the court." In 2006, Winterbotham, was named ITA/Wilson Mountain Region Coach of the Year and Big 12 Co-Coach of the Year while leading Colorado to a 20-9 record. 2006 was UC’s first 20-win season since 1996-97, the team's first NCAA Tournament berth since 1988 (team advanced to the round of 32) and a final ITA

In addition to assisting the Bears with the day-to-day operation, Winterbotham had a hand in recruiting one of the best teams in the nation that eventually won the first team national championship in Baylor history as the Bears were crowned 2004 NCAA champions. While at Baylor, Winterbotham was named the 2002 Region VI Assistant Coach of the Year after helping the Bears win the Big 12 regular season and conference tournament. Baylor advanced to the 2002 NCAA Sweet 16 and finished the season ranked seventh nationally.

In 1997 he won top honors as the NAIA Rolex national singles champion. At OCU, Winterbotham also was the 1999 Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Year in soccer, where he was named to the All-Region first team and honorable mention AllAmerica team. He graduated in April 1999 with a degree in marketing and was honored as OCU's 1999 international business student of the year. Winterbotham was inducted into the Oklahoma Christian Athletic Hall of Fame in November 2007. A native of Stoke on Trent, Great Britain, Winterbotham was born Oct 1, 1973. He is married to the former Tara McClure, a native of Asher, Okla. The Winterbothams’ have three daughters, Zoe, 5, Ryann, 3, and Sophia, 1.

Winterbotham Q&A

What are your favorite aspects of coaching? My favorite aspects of coaching are working with a player individually and helping them develop. I love working with a guy and seeing him get better. To see them grow from a freshman to a senior and how they’ve grown as a player and person is very fulfilling. Another favorite thing for me is competition. Competition teaches you so much and its great to see my guys learn through competition and have the belief to use what they’ve been working on in competition.

What makes the University of Tennessee a special place? The people are phonemonal. The community bleeds orange and white. They are friendly, kind and supportive of each other. I remember speaking with Mike Hamilton during the interview process and he talked about the Tennessee family and how it embraces you. We really have felt that.” What is your proudest coaching achievement? The accomplishment at Colorado. I’m very proud of my time there. I showed up in August with four players on the roster and with that in mind immediately strengthed the schedule to where we were competing against top college teams. We definitely took some lumps those first few years but you could see we were developing the program and were able to turn it around into a top program in four years. Just being ipart of what those guys had to endure at Colorado and how they came out on top is a wonderful memory. I’m just so proud of each team and they’ll always have a special place in my heart. What are your goals as a coach? To develop champions. We want young men of great character to embrace our program, developing the leadership skills to become fine citizens who impact their communities long after their tennis careers are over. We aim to bring in the finest talent in the country and help them develop so they are strong physically, mentally, technically and tactically to play professionally after college. During that process that talent will win National Championships for the University of Tennessee.

What are you looking for in a young man who wants to come play tennis for you? We’ve got three expectations of every young man in our program. 1. Be honest. 2. Consistently give your best effort. 3. Always believe in yourself. To be great you have to be honest. We’re looking for guys that have the ability to push through the tough times and that handle adversity with class and determination. I believe my players are capable of doing anything they set their mind too and are willing to work towards. It gives me such confidence that they will be successful when they believe they can do it too. What do you like to do in your time away from the courts? I have a fantastic wife and three beautiful children. That is my No. 1 priority. That’s how I spend my time away from the courts. I also have one indulgence and that’s following the greatest soccer team in the world, Stoke City.

Chris Woodruff 2008 Region III Assistant Coach of the Year

Chris Woodruff Associate Head Coach Fifth Season “Coach Woodruff’s tennis expertise is second to none in college tennis. He was one of the greatest players in the world and that allows him to bring a unique experience to developing players. Not only is he a great player and coach, but he’s a quality person. It is a privilege and a pleasure to work with him. Our goal as a coaching staff is to provide a great environment for young men to develop as tennis players and responsible adults; Coach Woodruff is an integral part of that development.” - Sam Winterbotham Tennessee head coach

fter serving as Tennessee’s assistant coach since the spring of 2002, former UT great Chris Wodruff was named the Vols’ associate head coach in the fall of 2006. “I can’t even begin to tell you how vital Chris Woodruff is to this program” head coach Sam Winterbotham said. “First, he’s one of the greatest players in the world so when he tells our players something to work on they know they need to listen. Second, he bleeds orange. His support and love for this University is unwavering and I think he passes that love on to our team. “Having Chris Woodruff at Tennessee automatically puts us at an advantage over every other tennis program.” Not every great player can be a great coach but Woodruff is proving that he is capable of being both. Woodruff came back to Tennessee in 2002 and immediately began working with the tennis program. In his time as an assistant coach, Woodruff has helped UT earn nine All-America selections and helped lead the program through a time when they had three different head coaches in four seasons. Woodruff came back to UT as a volunteer coach before being hired as an assistant coach. When Winterbotham came on board in 2006, Woodruff was promoted to associate head coach. In two seasons under Winterbotham and Woodruff, Tennessee is 40-12 (.769). In 2008, Woodruff was named the Region III Assistant Coach of the Year after helping guide UT to a 23-4 record. One of the most decorated players in the history of Tennessee tennis, Woodruff lettered for the Vols in 1992 and 1993, garnering All-America honors both years. He was crowned NCAA singles champion in 1993 and remains the only Tennessee netter to claim that title. In addition to his national championship, Woodruff was also named the ITA Rookie of the Year in 1992, and was given the USTA Sportsmanship Award in 1993. His career singles winning

percentage of .835 is second all-time in the Tennessee record books. Opting to turn professional following the 1993 season, the Knoxville native ascended to the world's most prolific tennis stage, the ATP Tour. While on tour, Woodruff claimed two event titles (1997 Montreal Super 9 Canadian Open and the 1999 Miller Lite Hall of Fame Tennis Championships in Newport, R.I.) and achieved a careerhigh singles ranking of No. 9 in the world in January 2000. His event highlights that year include reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open and representing his country in Davis Cup competition, where he clinched the United States' win over Zimbabwe. Woodruff racked up tour wins against seven former No.1 players including Pete Sampras, Andre

Agassi, (whom Woodruff upset in the 1996 French Open), Yevgeni Kafelnikov, Thomas Muster, Gustavo Kuerten, Marcelo Rios and Carlos Mova. He also has defeated Goran Ivanisevic, Thomas Enqvist, Tim Henman, Alex Corretja, Magnus Norman and Cedric Pioline. After an illustrious and memorable career, Woodruff retired from the tour in May 2002. He was excited about his return to Knoxville to contribute to the success of his alma mater. Woodruff has two children, a daughter, Olivia and a son, Tate.

velopment and globalization. Petersen is chairman of UT-Battelle, the partnership that manages Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Director of Athletics

he steady leadership of men’s director of athletics Mike Hamilton has the University of Tennessee Volunteers ranked among the nation’s most respected and highly-regarded programs. Since Hamilton accepted his current position in 2003, he has overseen competitiveness of Tennessee teams, graduation of student-athletes, compliance with NCAA and SEC rules, strong financial management, and the growth of the athletics department’s service to the university and community. In Hamilton’s three most recent years as athletics director, Tennessee twice has finished in the top 10 of the Director’s Cup all-sports standings. The Vols brought home SEC titles during spring 2007 in golf and outdoor track and field and the athletics department saw 19 of its 20 varsity teams compete in postseason play last year. The on-field and on-court products continue to be the nation’s No. 1 draw, as Tennessee remains the only NCAA school to finish among the top five attendance leaders in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball in the same season. The Vols and Lady Vols turned the trick for the fourth time in 2006-07. Also during the last academic year, 75 Vols and Lady Vols graduated from the University of Tennessee, continuing Tennessee athletics’ commitment to excellence in the classroom. UTAD currently is working with more than 20 former student-athletes who left UT to pursue professional athletic careers and returned to finish their degrees through the Renewing Academic Commitment (RAC) Program out of the Thornton Center. Since Hamilton’s arrival at UT in 1992, more than $261 million has been raised for athletics. The 44-year-old Hamilton, who grew up in Brevard, N.C., is chairman-elect of the Knox Area Chamber Partnership and serves on the board of directors of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. He and his wife Beth are founders of the Mike and Beth Hamilton Celebrity Golf Classic, which has raised more than $175,000 for adoption services for Bethany Christian Services.

2009 SEC MEN’S TENNIS The Southeastern Conference tennis programs have established themselves to be the nation's leaders on the collegiate hard courts, and in 2007 the trend continued. The conference made another strong national showing last season on the men's side as Georgia won the National Championship at the 2008 Division I Men's Tennis Championships played at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla. The national final appearance by the Bulldogs marked the 15th consecutive year the conference has had at least one team in the semifinals. The SEC has produced 16 NCAA singles champions in men's tennis dating back to 1930. Eight of those singles titles have come since 1984. Five of the conference’s nine doubles titles have come since 1993, with all five coming from different SEC schools.

VOL FACT According to former UT head coach Chris Mahony, “being able to represent your country in Davis Cup play is one of the highest achievements in the sport of tennis.” Over the years, Tennessee has seen numerous former lettermen represent their respective home nations in the world’s largest international tennis competition (a select few even played David Cup during their time at UT). “The Davis Cup competition is widely acknowledged as the pinnacle of our sport, and anytime you are asked to represent your country it is a tremendous honor,” Mahony said.

For example, although Tulane was a member of the SEC from 1933-1966, all of Tennessee’s matches versus Tulane are reflected under Tulane’s current conference, Conference USA. Tennessee has never played any current members of the following conferences: Big Sky, Horizon League, Metro Atlantic Athletic, Northeast and the Summit League.

Note: The records listed above reflect only the years 1927-41 and 1963-2005. Official records from 1942-1962 are incomplete.

Note: From 1953-1989, the SEC champion was determined by the accumulation of points in an individual flighted tournament. After 1989, the flighted tournament was discontinued, thus there were no singles and doubles champions named from 1990-92. From 1993-94, the SEC individual champions were those singles players and doubles teams that won their respective titles at the Coaches Indoor Tournament held each fall. No singles or doubles champions were recognized by the SEC after the 1994 season.

SEC Team Championships 7 SEC Titles

ennessee is no stranger to the pinnacle of Southeastern Conference tennis. The Vols have won seven regular-season SEC team championships, third-most in the conference. Only Georgia (21) and Florida (8) have won more SEC team titles.* The Vols have won at least one SEC team title in every decade since the 1950s. The Vol title parade began in 1951 under coach Walter D. Buchanan. Tennessee shared its first SEC championship with former conference member Tulane. Complete results are unavailable from the 1951 championships. A member of that 1951 title team, Tommy Bartlett, later coached the Vols to their second SEC team crown in 1966. The men in orange and white compiled a 16-2 overall record that year while posting a perfect 7-0 mark in conference play. The Volsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; number came up again in 1970, with Tennessee claiming its third all-time SEC team title. They posted a 147 overall mark and a 4-1 conference record that year. The 1980 Vols grabbed a fourth team SEC crown, going 14-6 overall and 6-0 in SEC competition. The fifth SEC team championship belongs to the 1986 squad. That group posted a 24-10 overall mark. Coach Mike DePalmer Sr. became the only UT tennis coach to win two SEC championships when his Vols won again in 1990. One of the greatest Vols squads ever, the 1990 squad posted a 34-1 overall mark and a perfect 9-0 SEC slate. On the way to a runnerup NCAA finish, the 1990 Vols reeled off an NCAA-record 34 consecutive victories. The most recent Tennessee team championship came in 2000 when the Vols went 23-6 to capture the seventh conference title in school history and finish third at the NCAA Championships.

History 7 SEC Titles

The Tennessee men’s tennis team has no shortage of history. Some of the greatest collegiate tennis players ever proudly wore the Orange and White. Chris Woodruff, Paul Annacone, Mel Purcell, and Shelby Cannon are just a few of the names that come to mind when discussing great Tennessee players of the past.

1951: First SEC Title The 1951 Tennessee tennis team coached by Walter D. Buchanan won UT’s first SEC Championship as they tied traditional SEC powerhouse Tulane for the title. ITA Hall of Fame Inductee Tommy Bartlett, a member of the 1951 sqaud remembers the ‘51 team and the SEC Championship. “The championships were played at Florida and we tied Tulane for the SEC championship. It was such a huge thrill for all of us. Emmet Pare was the coach at Tulane, he was like the Adolf Rupp of college tennis. He had a lot of good players and was a great coach. Tulane was a powerhouse program.” (Editor’s note: Tulane tied UT for the SEC Championship in 1951 and then won the championship outright eight straight seasons until 1959). “I never lost a match my entire career but this tells you how much it meant to beat Tulane. In 1952, I threw my racquet, the only time in my career I ever threw my racquet and I threw it in celebration after winning a tough match against Tulane. It was such a big victory because of who we were playing.” “I played with Gavin Gentry in doubles and we won doubles to clinch the tie for the SEC. John Cullum and Bill Davis won the other doubles. It just all came together for us in the tournament. We were all playing at our best.” “I think the thing I remember most fondly about that team is we were all Tennessee boys. Five of us were from Knoxville and the other was from Chattanooga. You don’t ever see that nowadays. Coaches go out and recruit players from all over the place. We won the title in 1951 without a player from outside East Tennessee.”

1966: Bartlett Leads Vols To Another SEC Title Tommy Bartlett returned to Tennessee in 1962 to help coach ... the basketball team. That’s right, UT’s first inductee into the ITA Hall of Fame first returned to Tennessee to be an assistant coach on Ray Mears’ basketball Vols. 50

18 NCAA Tournament Berths

In 1963, Bartlett took over the tennis team and it did not take long for Bartlett to put the Vols on a championship path. His first team finished a respectable 10-5, in 1964 his team improved to 131 and in 1965 his tennis Vols finished with a record of 15-3. In 1966, his final year as head coach, Bartlett was able to break through and guide the Vols to another SEC Championship. “A lot of things fit into place that season. I remember Mississippi State had guys from all over the world and they could all play. They were definitely the favorites heading into the Championships. We actually had an injury and had to adjust our lineup and boy, did our guys just really play well throughout the tournament. “We had a boy, Bobby Dowell, who wasn’t even seeded but he came on in the tournament and won it without even losing a set. He beat the No. 1 seed, No. 4 seed and then the No. 2 seed in the finals. If he hadn’t had done it, we wouldn’t have won.” “We got another big performance from a guy by the name of Lee Bruck. Our No. 4 (Richard Dowell) came up with a wrist injury and we weren’t sure if he would be able to play or not. On the first day of the tournament, Dowell just didn’t think he could play, so we put in Bruck, who was a walk-on. The tournament committee wouldn’t let me move my lineup around so Bruck was actually seeded in the tournament and he won his first match to get a point and we won the tournament by one point. It was a huge accomplishment for Bruck, we’re talking about a kid who earlier in the season had lost a match to Tennessee Wesleyan and here he was playing against the best in the SEC and he got us a W.” Schloss Earns UT’s First All-America Honor Lenny Schloss technically earned All-America honors in 1967, one year after Bartlett had left the Tennessee tennis team to become the head basketball coach at the University of Florida but Bartlett left new coach Earl Baumgardner a present in Schloss. “Lenny was actually recommended to me by George Edis who played with me in the early 1950s” Bartlett recalls. “He recommended him to me. He just got better and better each year. He won the SEC doubles in 1966 with Jack Jackson and that really got him started on a great 1967 that saw him earn All-America.” “I’m bragging now but I actually brought in UT’s next All-America too. Tommy Mozur was recruited by me, but I left for Florida before I could coach him. He turned out pretty well too.” (Editor’s note: Mozur did turn out pretty well. Tennessee Tennis

He was named All-America in 1968 and 1970 and was captain of UT’s 1970 SEC Championship squad). Harmon/Purcell Win 1980 NCAA Doubles Crown Rodney Harmon and Mel Purcell won UT’s first tennis title of anykind in 1980 when the duo won the NCAA Doubles Championship. Harmon and Purcell, the top-seed in the tourney, defeated second-seed Tony Giammalava and John Benson of Trinity, 7-6, 7-6 to win the title. The Vols trailed 5-4 in the first set but rallied to tie at 5, but fell behind again 6-5 before rallying one final time. Harmon won the set with a forehand from the baseline that went right between the Trinity players. UT found itself down again in the second set, this time 4-3 in the tiebreaker with Trinity serving but the Trinity netter doublefaulted. The Vols took advantage of the error and off a Purcell serve, Harmon slammed the return shot to send the Vols to the title. It was the third time that season the UT duo had knocked off the Trinity tandem for a tournament title. Trinity did get a small consolation prize; they defeated the UT team 5-4 in the NCAA team tournament.

1980s: DePalmer Takes Tennessee to Next Level The Tennessee Volunteers won their fourth SEC title in 1980 under John Newman but found themselves looking for a new leader following the season. The tennis program turned to Mike DePalmer Sr. to lead the Vols. It didn’t take long for DePalmer to make his mark. By the time his run was over UT had won 299 matches, won two SEC titles, earned 20 different All-America hon ors and helped guide Chris Woodruff to the 1993 NCAA singles title. Annacone Becomes UT’s first three-time AllAmerica It didn’t take long for DePalmer to bring in talent. His son, Mike Jr., was an All-America in 1981 and 1982. The only thing that could possibly overshadow his son’s talent was one of his first recruit’s a young man by the name of Paul Annacone. “He was never a top-10 junior,” DePalmer recalled. “He always had a lot of promise but never seemed to realize it. When he was a senior in high school in his first tournament he played in

Louisville, Ky., and he lost to Ken Flach. Now, Flach was a heckuva player and there was no shame in losing to someone of his talent but Paul was so upset that when he got back to his locker room he punched a locker and broke a finger. He never was able to play anywhere else the rest of the summer and we were really the only ones who stayed on him. “I can’t tell you how glad I am he punched that locker.” Annacone recovered from the broken finger nicely. He ended his UT career with 115 singles victories, which at the time was a UT record. He was the 1984 ITCA Player of the Year and was ranked No. 1 in the country throughout the ‘84 season. He was a three-time first team All-SEC selection and also a three-time All-America selection from 1982-84. He still holds the UT career records for career (.839) and season (.944) singles winning percentage. Cannon and Talbot Become Doubles Terrors DePalmer didn’t know in 1985 that he had two freshmen on campus who would re-write the UT Doubles record books. It’s not like UT didn’t have a successful doubles history before the two. UT won the 1980 doubles title and had won numerous other tournaments with their doubles prowess. But UT had seen nothing like Shelby

Cannon and Byron Talbot. “They were both fine players I remember specifically recruiting Shelby,” DePalmer recalls. “ He was playing in a junior tournament in Bradenton, Fla., and he lost in the finals. One of the pros called me after the match was over and said you don’t want this guy he threw his second place trophey in the lake.” “I said no as a matter of fact that’s the one iI do want.” Once on campus, DePalmer paired the duo together, kept Cannon away from water and watched the duo tear up the UT record books. Both netters left UT as three-time All-America selections. They finished with UT records in career wins (102) and season wins (40). They also won the 1986 Volvo Tennis Collegiate Doubles tournament. 1986 An Unexpected Title “I can’t say we were the favorites for the SEC Title in ‘86. We had a 3-6 record in conference play during the regular season, DePalmer reminisces. “The championships were at Auburn and I don’t think anybody had us picked to win. I remember getting off to a great start. We just played fantastic on the first day and we kept the play up through the rest of the tournament and surprised everybody with the win.

1990s: Near-Perfection and A Singles Title In 1990, DePalmer was at the helm of what was arguably the greatest team in Tennessee history, although nobody thought like that at the beginning of the season. “We started the season off ranked 17th,” DePalmer remembers. “ I don’t think we were even invited to the Indoor Championships. we continued to win match after match. We knew we were going to be good but I don’t know if anybody thought that good. Well, one guy did. Brice Karsh prophesized before the season that we were going to go undefeated and beat Stanford in the finals, he got it almost right. We went undefeated for 34 matches before losing to Stanford in the finals.” “That team just had a lot of quality parts. We had Doug Flach, Tim Jessup, Karsh, John Gibson, Coenie de Villiers to name a few guys. They were all solid players and they stuck together. It was a joy to go through that ride with them.” Woodruff Comes to Tennessee Chris Woodruff might have been born and raised in Knoxville but it was no guarantee that he would be making his collegiate home in Tennessee. “I remember he took an official visit to Georgia,” DePalmer says. “He made me suffer because it seemed like he visited everywhere. I know Georgia wanted him bad but in the end he chose to come to UT.” “The plan was for him to play No. 2 as a freshman to get some seasoning but we had an injury occur and he had to move up in the lineup. I think that really set the stage for what happened the next year when he won the National Title.” “I knew there was no doubt that he would turn pro after his sophomore year it was the right move but he was a superstar on the courts. It was great that the University got to claim him as their own, even if it was just for two years.” Woodruff put the nation on notice as a freshman when he was named the Volvo Rookie of the Year and Advanced to the Quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. In his sophomore year, there was no stopping Woodruff. He was the 1993 SEC Indoor singles champion and won the NCAA singles title with a straight-set win over Wade McGuire.

Former coach Mike DePalmer Sr. is shown accepting the 1990 SEC Championship trophey and the 1990 SEC Coach of the Year Plaque. DePalmer helped lead the Vols to a 34-1 record in 1990. The team’s only loss was to Stanford in the National Championship match. DePalmer is Tennessee’s all-time leader in coaching wins with 299. Developing Champions

ith a program that dates back to 1927, Tennessee has been a part of countless memorable matches. Here are a few of Tennessee’s storybook confrontations from recent years:

Vols Duo Achieves NCAA Doubles Glory May 26, 1980 � Athens, Ga. Harmon/Purcell def. Benson/Giammalva 7-6, 7-6 (5-4) Nearly one year earlier to the day, a duo from Trinity University had bested Tennessee’s top tandem (Michael Fancutt and Andy Kohlberg) in the NCAA men’s tennis doubles championship. This time around, two new Vols fought their way to the title round, and they weren’t interested in walking away empty-handed. After all, Tennessee’s Rodney Harmon and Mel Purcell had already defeated the Trinity team of John Benson and Tony Giammalva twice earlier during the 1980 season. A third victory over their Tigers rivals would make Harmon and Purcell the first NCAA tennis champions in Tennessee history. One day after defeating Southern Methodist’s Tommy Cain and Jay DeLouis in the quarterfinals and Stanford’s Lloyd Bourne and Peter Rennert in the semifinals, the top-seeded Tennessee duo set their sights on achieving Volunteers history. Down 5-4 in the first set, Harmon and Purcell rallied to even the set at 5-5 before falling behind once again 6-5. After a second rally tied the set at 6-6 to force a tiebreaker, Harmon unleashed a howling baseline forehand that shot directly in-between Benson and Giammalva at the net. The blast gave the Vols tandem the first set, as well as some valuable momentum. The second set also saw the two teams fight their way to a 6-6 deadlock. Trinity led the second tiebreaker 4-3 before a Benson double fault evened things at 4-4. Tennessee had the final three serves. Trinity stole the first, but a well-timed Harmon smash at the net kept the Vols’ hopes alive. Purcell then served to Giammalva, whose return was met by a charging Harmon. The freshman’s second consecutive smash gave Tennessee its first-ever NCAA men’s tennis champions. After the match, Tennessee coach John Newman was asked his secret to producing such outstanding doubles combinations. “Actually I have two secrets,” Newman said. “Mel Purcell and Rodney Harmon.”

Homegrown Netter Makes History with NCAA Singles Title May 23, 1993 � Athens, Ga. Chris Woodruff def. Wade McGuire 6-3, 6-1 Chris Woodruff grew up in the shadow of Big Orange tennis. Born and raised in East Tennessee, a graduate of Bearden High School in Knoxville and the son of a UT professor of marketing and transportation, Woodruff was quite familiar with Tennessee’s successful and nationally respected men’s tennis program. And when the time came to announce his college of choice, Woodruff chose to remain on Rocky Top, despite strong recruitment from numerous programs nationwide. After compiling a 39-7 overall singles record as a sophomore, Woodruff was anointed the No. 1 seed in the NCAA men’s tennis singles championships. He lived up to the hype by storming to the final in impressive fashion, citing his mental toughness as the strongest part of his game. “I may not have all the tools,” Woodruff said. “But with my mental toughness, I can overcome those weaknesses.” His opponent in the final was a familiar one. Georgia senior Wade McGuire had dealt a swift 6-0, 6-2 loss to Woodruff one month earlier in the SEC Tournament. Woodruff opened the match by playing to McGuire’s backhand in an attempt to avoid the Bulldog’s fierce forehand. The determined Vol exhibited pinpoint placement with his serves and ground strokes and kept the ball deep to prevent McGuire from charging the net. An experienced netter who was competing in his second consecutive NCAA final, McGuire surprised his home-court fans by losing his composure in the first set. In the eighth game, McGuire hit a ball that was on its way out of bounds, passed on a shot that sailed over his head and landed in play and then proceeded to dispute a line call with the chair umpire. Woodruff held serve in the next game to win the first set 6-3. The second set saw more of the same for both players, as Woodruff broke serve to take the first game. A visibly frustrated McGuire found himself in a 3-0 set deficit shortly thereafter, and that proved to be too much. Woodruff made 72 percent of his first serves and hit seven aces to four double faults. He ripped his forehand and backhand with equal effectiveness and tossed in a few timely volleys. He made only nine unforced errors to McGuire’s 25 and had 12 break points to McGuire’s one. “He was too tough,” McGuire said. “Too many winners.” Thirteen years after Tennessee claimed its first NCAA doubles title, Woodruff gave the school its first NCAA singles champion. “This is without a doubt the highest honor I could have possibly won until now,” a proud Woodruff said after the match.

The Romp in the Swamp April 12, 2000 � Gainesville, Fla. No. 10 Tennessee 4, No. 3 Florida 3 The Tennessee - Florida rivalry extends much further than the gridiron. One memorable encounter between the Volunteers and Gators took place April 12, 2000, on UF’s Ring Tennis Complex courts. The match had SEC regular-season championship implications, and the competitors on both sides fought with ferocity. Tennessee strolled into the Swamp ranked No. 10 in the ITA national poll. Head coach Michael Fancutt and his squad were clearly underdogs, playing on the road in the SEC against the No. 3-ranked team in the nation. Florida was anything but a welcoming host, stealing the doubles point and the first two singles tallies at the Nos. 1 and 2 positions. On Adam Carey a day during which the struggling Vols saw themselves faced with a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 match deficit, Fancutt was pleased to see his bottom three singles players step up to the challenge. Tennessee got consecutive victories from Peter Handoyo, Paul Podbury and Mark Fitzpatrick at the Nos. 4 through 6 spots, respectively. The deciding match was still being contested, as Vols sophomore Adam Carey slugged it out with Florida’s Nathan Overholser on court No. 3. Overholser began to serve for the match in the second set, and the Vols could feel the jaws of the Gators closing. But like the original Volunteers at the Siege of the Alamo in 1836, Carey exhibited a bold refusal to accept defeat, breaking his opponent’s serve and forcing a third set. In dramatic fashion, Carey fought his way to a 6-3 triumph in the deciding set, thus snapping Florida’s 11-match winning steak and handing the Gators their first conference loss of the season. When the dust cleared, Tennessee had clinched its seventh regular-season SEC crown.

Dreams Become Reality; Vols Reach NCAA Semifinals May 21, 2000 � Athens, Ga. No. 10 Tennessee 4, No. 2 UCLA 1 It had been quite a run for Tennessee. During the 2000 regular season, the Vols toppled No. 1-ranked Stanford, No. 3-ranked Florida and No. 4-ranked Texas A&M. And in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships, Tennessee would have its shot at the nation’s No. 2ranked team, the UCLA Bruins. Early in the contest, the doubles point went to Tennessee after it was clinched by Adam Carey and Mark Parsons at the No. 2 position. Peter Handoyo and Paul Podbury added singles wins for Tennessee, and in the process, made a strong case for the argument that the SEC had surpassed the Pac-10 as America’s top collegiate tennis conference. Handoyo’s victim, Jean-Julien Rojer, had suffered only two singles losses all season prior to his encounter with the crafty Vols sophomore. “I was just playing great today,” Handoyo said. “I was playing out of my mind, I guess.” On court No. 6, Mark Fitzpatrick was giving his all for Tennessee, and he watched as his teammates dominated the Bruins. Fitzpatrick followed suit, rallying from a one-set deficit to beat UCLA’s Erfan Djahangiri 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Fitzpatrick hurled his racquet into the stands in jubilation after the win. “I have always dreamed of winning the clinching match in the NCAAs since I have been in college,” Fitzpatrick said. “It was really great to be able to achieve that.” The UCLA loss marked only the eighth time in 23 years that the Bruins were denied a spot in the NCAA semifinals. “Tennessee was just a little bit too good for us today,” UCLA head coach Billy Martin said.

The Cramp Calamity May 22, 2000 � Athens, Ga. No. 19 Virginia Commonwealth 4, No. 9 Tennessee 3 “It came suddenly. My legs just locked up. It wasn’t so much the pain, but my legs just wouldn’t go.” Those were the words of Vols junior Paul Podbury as he recalled Tennessee’s cramp calamity in the 2000 NCAA semifinals, a 4-3 loss to Virginia Commonwealth. “I was in the van going to the hospital and I remember hoping I would get a chance to redeem myself the following day,” Podbury said. “I was hoping Peter (Handoyo) could do it, but it happened to him, too.” Podbury and sophomore teammate Handoyo both endured the same unfortunate fate that day, after three grueling days of competition in Paul Podbury the hot Georgia sun. Severe muscle cramps forced both players to retire against the Rams. Tennessee’s semifinal matchup versus VCU was the Vols’ third noon contest in as many days. Podbury was up a set at No. 4 when his cramps set in. His retirement knotted the match at 3-3, leaving the team’s fate in Handoyo’s hands. Both Handoyo and his opponent had fended off minor cramps throughout their contest, but when Handoyo finally fell to the court

screaming in agony, Tennessee head coach Michael Fancutt threw in the towel. “You can’t sit there and watch someone you’ve worked with for three years suffer like that,” a dejected Fancutt said after the match. “It was unfortunate the way we lost,” Podbury said. “To be that close and then fall short was one of the worst things I have ever felt.”

Return to the Semis May 21, 2001 � Athens, Ga. No. 8 Tennessee 4, No. 1 Stanford 2 Stanford was a juggernaut in 2001. The perennial Pac-10 powerhouse entered the NCAA Championships as the No. 1 seed and the defending national champion. Tennessee, the tournament’s No. 8 seed, brought a 21-5 overall record into the contest. The Vols netters had reached the NCAA semifinals just one year prior, and they were eager to return once again. “It is something we have worked extremely hard for all year,” said Tennessee head coach Michael Fancutt. “It’s funny ... it is almost a year to the day from our losing in the final four last year (to VCU), when we were a couple of points — and cramps — away from playing Stanford in the finals. We’ve been looking forward to playing Stanford again ... Mario Toledo basically all year.” Stanford grabbed the early momentum by capturing the doubles point. Scott Lipsky then downed Vols freshman Simon Rea at No. 6 singles to put the Cardinal up 2-0. The match then began to take on shades of Big Orange, as Peter Handoyo and Adam Carey notched wins at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. Senior Mark Parsons, ranked No. 31 in the nation in singles, toppled the nation’s No. 18-ranked player, K.J. Hippensteel, in straight sets at No. 1 singles to put the Vols up for good. It took three sets, but junior Mario Toledo put the finishing touches on the Tennessee victory, downing David Martin at the No. 2 slot. Toledo’s second consecutive clinching point ensured that the Vols would return to the NCAA semifinals. “You would probably have to go back a long time to find the last time someone beat Stanford’s No. 1 through No. 4 players in a match,” a proud Fancutt said after the win. “What a great match by Tennessee,” Stanford head coach Dick Gould said. “Mike (Fancutt) did a great job in getting his guys ready for singles. I thought the top three matches, their guys stayed in points very well. It was a tremendous competitive effort.”

Leap-Frog to NCAA Title Round May 22, 2001 � Athens, Ga. No. 8 Tennessee 4, No. 4 Texas Christian 0 Michael Fancutt had good reason to feel proud. In only his fourth season as Tennessee head coach, the Vols were heading to the NCAA final. “Right now, we are playing like a finely-tuned machine,” Fancutt said. “It is going to take a pretty good team to beat us in the finals.” Fancutt’s Vols had little difficulty in handing No. 4-seeded Texas Christian a convincing 40 defeat. After the match, Tennessee senior Mark Parsons marveled at how his teammates relied on emotion to deal the Horned Frogs the lopsided loss. “It’s amazing how once one person gets up, then all of the other courts seem to go that way as well,” Parsons said. “Once one court gets an edge, then everyone else feeds off that.” After taking the doubles point from the Frogs, Tennessee racked up singles wins courtesy of Parsons, Mario Toledo and Peter Handoyo. The Vols didn’t yield a single set on their march to the NCAA final. Fellow SEC Eastern Division powerhouse Georgia awaited the Vols in the championship match. The Dawgs would have the advantage of playing in front of their home fans. “It will be an amazing atmosphere,” Fancutt said. “And an amazing match.”

2001 NCAA Finals: Clash of the SEC Titans May 23, 2001 � Athens, Ga. No. 3 Georgia 4, No. 8 Tennessee 1 It was the most-anticipated match of the year in men’s collegiate tennis. As the hot sun beat down on the battlefield that was Henry Feild Stadium, two hungry teams prepared themselves for war. A capacity crowd gathered to witness the spectacle. It was Tennessee vs. Georgia for all the marbles. Georgia, ranked No. 3 in the nation coming into the contest, got off to a fast start in doubles. At the No. 3 position, the Georgia tandem of Nicolas Boeker and Chad Carlson recorded a convincing 8-3 win over Tennessee’s Simon Rea and Mario Toledo. Bo Hodge and Brandon Wagner clinched the doubles point shortly thereafter, posting an 8-6 victory over the Vols’ No. 2 pairing of Peter Handoyo and Paul Podbury. With so much on the line, Tennessee played inspired as the singles portion of the match got underway. The Volunteers jumped out to an early lead on almost every court. Rallied by the support of the home fans, the Bulldogs slowly and steadily began to turn the tide. Georgia grabbed the first singles point, as Wagner downed Rea at the No. 6 spot. Lesley Joseph gave the Dawgs a 3-point lead by defeating Handoyo at the No. 3 position. Toledo then knocked off the nation’s No. 8-ranked singles player, Bo Hodge, in three sets to put the Volunteers on the scoreboard. But it was Georgia’s day. Carlson clinched the title for the Bulldogs by downing Adam

18 NCAA Tournament Berths Carey in a thrilling three-setter. “I was proud of my guys,” Tennessee head coach Michael Fancutt said after the match. “Our goal was to win the tournament so this is extremely disappointing for us. But I am proud of my team for playing as well as they did under the circumstances.”

Senior Day Success vs. Georgia April 13, 2002 � Knoxville, Tenn. No. 8 Tennessee 4, No. 1 Georgia 3 As they arrived at Tennessee’s Varsity Courts that Saturday afternoon, Vols seniors Adam Carey, Andy Crews, Peter Handoyo and Mario Toledo aspired to beat the odds and put an end to visiting Georgia’s long-standing winning streak. Georgia arrived that afternoon boasting an impressive 25-match SEC unbeaten streak and a 17-0 record. But once the balls started buzzing, it became apparent to the more than 500 Big Orange fans in attendance that Tennessee was not intimidated. The Bulldogs knew an epic battle was imminent when the mighty Vols stormed out of the gate and claimed the doubles point and a 1-0 match lead going into singles competition. “The doubles were crucial today,” Crews said. “I wanted to go out there and leave it all on the court and have no regrets. It paid off. We applied the pressure to them we had wanted.” Playing the role of a predator on its home courts, Tennessee raced out to first-set leads in four of six singles contests. Handoyo posted a win at the No. 2 spot to open up singles scoring, but the Dawgs answered back with victories at the Nos. 1 and 5 positions. With the score tied at 2-2, Carey recorded his 105th career win as a Vol to swing the momentum back in Tennessee’s favor. Needing only one more win to secure a Senior Day victory, No. 8-ranked Tennessee got the clinching tally from sophomore Wade Orr. Orr’s three-set victory over Nicolas Boeker propelled the men from Rocky Top to a storybook upset win over the nation’s top-ranked team. “This shows us that we can beat anyone in the nation,” an excited Carey said. “This is definitely one of the best matches I have been involved with since I have been here. It just can’t get any better than beating the No. 1 team in the nation on Senior Day.”

Vols End Georgia’s 40 Match SEC Win Streak April 12, 2008 � Knoxville, Tenn. No. 10 Tennessee 4, No. 3 Georgia 3 Tennessee senior Kaden Hensel pumped his fist in the air and let out a yell as the normally placid All-America clinched UT’s 4-3 victory over third-ranked Georgia on a windy but beautiful day at the UT Outdoor Tennis Courts. Tennessee is the first SEC team since April 2005, a streak of 40 matches, to beat Georgia. “That was just an incredible victory for our program against a great Georgia team,” head coach Sam Winterbotham said. “I thought Georgia gave us everything they had and they pushed us to the limit. I’m so proud of our guys for how they handled the pressure.” It’s hard to imagine that even a movie script could have been written better for Hensel that what transpired on the courts against Georgia. Tennessee’s lone senior, playing the third-ranked player in the country, battled back after dropping the first set to clinch the Vols’ biggest tennis win in years. “What a day for Kaden,” Winterbotham said. “If I woke up this morning and wrote it out, I couldn’t have written it better than this. He came out and dominated in No. 1 doubles and then to come-from-behind at No. 1 singles is just fantastic. Kaden is a special person and I can’t think of anybody that is more deserving of what just happened than him.” If a 4-3 victory that came down to the final match, against a team that hasn’t lost in the SEC since 2005, isn’t dramatic enough, Hensel made sure to add even more drama. The senior from Australia was serving for the match with a 5-3 lead in the final set, but quickly found himself down as Travis Helgeson ran off three quick winners to set himself up to break Hensel and put the set back on serve. Hensel, though, won five straight points to clinch the match and send the Vols to victory. Hensel and partner J.P. Smith didn’t make things nearly as dramatic in doubles as UT’s No. 1 duo cruised to an 8-2 victory over Georgia’s Jamie Hunt and Nate Schnugg. Hensel and Smith finish the regular season 17-3 in doubles. The Vols clinched the point when Boris Conkic and Matteo Fago defeated Josh Varela and Christian Vitulli, 8-4 at the No. 3 position. UT is now 180 when they win the doubles point at the start of the match. The Bulldogs seemed to handle the disappointment of doubles better than the Vols handled the success of doubles. Georgia won the first set in four of the six singles matches and appeared in control of the match. Hunt, ranked 36th in singles, defeated Davey Sandgren, 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 4 position to tie the match at one. Varela gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the day moments later, as he battled back from a 3-0 deficit in the first set to knock off freshman Jeremy Tweedt, 6-4, 6-3. Fago tied the match at two with a straight-set win over Vitulli at the No. 5 position. The freshman from Italy proved unbeatable in the SEC as the victory pushed Fago to 11-0 in conference play. Georgia claimed its final lead of the match as Schnugg outlasted Conkic in three-sets to give the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead. Conkic won the first set but Schnugg, ranked 11th in the country, took control of the match early in the second set and never gave UT’s freshman an opportunity again. Smith set Hensel up to be the hero by tying the match at three. The UT freshman struggled in the first and second sets against UGA senior Luis Flores as the Vol netter never appeared to get comfortable against Flores. In the final set with both players tied at two games apiece, UT’s 25th-ranked singles player finally took control of the match as Smith won four of the final five games to win going away, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

THE UT CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

he Center for International Education (CIE) is a department within the Division of Student Affairs that serves as a catalyst at every level for the internationalization of the entire University of Tennessee community. The following units make up the UT Center for International Education:

�

The International House, or "I-House," is a free-standing, non-residential programming facility that was opened in 1996 to provide all UT students with a place in which they could meet and learn about people of every culture represented at UT. The I-House is open every day of the year. Its telephone number is (865) 974-4453.

�

The Programs Abroad Office (PAO) provides students with information about their options for overseas study, research, work, volunteer projects and travel. The PAO administers most of UT's international one-forone student exchange programs, including ISEP, and also is the campus contact for student Fulbright awards, Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and the National Security Education Program.

�

The International Scholar Services Office, which is responsible for UT's "J" Exchange Visitor Program and for "H" visas, works closely with faculty, departments and colleges to serve the numerous visiting scholars who come from abroad in order to lecture, teach, advise or conduct research on the UT campus.

�

Once students have been formally admitted by the UT admissions office, the CIE Office of International Student Services becomes responsible for the orientation and advising of international students.

�

In addition to being responsible for the overall day-to-day operation of the center, the CIE Administration works closely with faculty members, departments and colleges to assist in the establishment and maintenance of linkage agreements with institutions outside the United States. CIE administration works closely with the UT Council on International Education and the UT Faculty Senate Committee on International Education.

Tennessee’s International House also sponsors more than 20 international student associations and a host of various programs throughout the academic year. Such events include culture nights, sports and trips, dance lessons, cooking demonstrations, an international festival and more. In the classroom, students can choose from more than 120 programs of study. The University of Tennessee offers numerous programs that cater and appeal to international students. One such program is the Language & World Business Program, a bachelor of arts degree program within the curriculum of the modern foreign languages and literatures department. The L&WB program enables a student to combine a major in foreign language with a minor in business. Students are required to take more courses in business than needed strictly for a busiThe International House ness minor, and there is a growing trend among L&WB students to double major. The label L&WB evokes high quality, versatility and well roundedness. Graduates of this concentration are ambitious, high-achieving and well-rounded individuals, who proceed into active life or go on to pursue a graduate degree in international business or foreign language. In addition to completing a rigorous and varied curriculum, students are often required to study and work abroad. Most students study abroad for a year and then complete a domestic internship with a company involved in international trade. Many students also do internships with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the local Center for International Trade. Through the International Cooperative Education Program based in Menlo Park, Calif., students work during the summer in either Belgium, England, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa or Switzerland. More and more companies and graduate schools now know that Language & World Business graduates often have better communication skills, more extensive international experience and more practical training than their peers with general business or foreign language degrees. A curriculum alone, no matter how elaborate, is not sufficient to create an exciting, synergetic program like the Language & World Business program at the University of Tennessee. Students meet regularly with highly experienced and sincerely interested faculty advisors and business mentors to discuss their academic plans and ways to develop business and management skills beyond the classroom. The customer-service aspect of the program has fostered a sincere enthusiasm among students, and many graduates remain in very close contact with the department. The professional emphasis areas within the Language & World Business Program include: � International agricultural economics � International business � International retail & consumer science

Legend of the Volunteer 7 SEC Titles

“Give me a thousand Tennesseans, and I’ll whip any other thousand men on the globe!” — President Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson

hat’s a Volunteer? Not your run-of-the-mill school nickname, the proud legacy of the Volunteer calls Tennessee student-athletes to compete at an elevated standard when the stakes are highest. A Volunteer is the bravest breed of human from the boldest nation on Earth, fiercely proud to call Tennessee home whether the battle lies within its borders or in a land far away. The First Volunteers In the aftermath of the Declaration of Independence, Americans were determined to create a nation that was free of the evils that had required them to resort to revolution. Among these was the fear of a large standing army. Such a force could be used to impose the will of an evil monarch and was therefore a threat to individual liberties. Instead, they would rely upon a volunteer army, citizen soldiers who would be called into service at times of crisis to serve their country. When the people who would later be known as Tennesseans were first asked to volunteer for such an army, they had been living along the upper tributaries of the Tennessee River, near modern day Elizabethton. The call went out for volunteers to gather at Sycamore Shoals in September 1780 and march across the Smoky Mountains to meet this British threat. When finally assembled, the volunteers totaled almost 1,000 men, virtually the entire fighting force of the settlements. These “Overmountain Men” defeated the British at King’s Mountain to turn the tide of the war in favor of the fledgling nation. The tradition of the Tennessee Volunteer was thus already initiated when, in the War of 1812, the nation once again went to war. As they had done over 30 years before, Tennesseans responded enthusiastically. Instead of the 3,500 troops requested, 25,000 Tennesseans joined, participating in battles from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. Old Hickory Earlier in the War of 1812 the British torched Washington. The Tennessee Volunteers made sure New Orleans would suffer no such fate. Under future President Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans, Tennessee Volunteers took part in the greatest victory of the war when they helped to defeat an army of crack British regulars. Facing more than twice their number, the Tennessee Volunteers joined a New Orleans militia, a group of former Haitian slaves fighting as free men and a band of outlaws headed by the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. Thanks in no small part to the deadly Volunteer riflemen of Tennessee, the U.S. took a lopsided victory where more than 2,000 British were killed or wounded compared to eight killed and 13 wounded on the American side. Jacob Hartsell, a captain in the 2nd East Tennessee militia, was among the Tennesseans who took part in the battle. He was so inspired by his fellow Tennesseans that he wrote a heroic poem in their honor. Entitled “The Brave Volunteer,” this poetic journal entry is the earliest known written reference to Tennesseans as Volunteers. Volunteers at the Alamo Two decades later, Tennesseans advanced their rep-

utation as volunteers when, unsolicited, several hundred made the journey south to assist the Texans in their war for independence from Mexico. The best known of these was David Crockett. His already legendary status was only enhanced by his dramatic death at the Alamo in 1836. But before the Alamo fell, 33 Tennesseans, the largest number of defenders provided by any state — nearly four times as many as from Texas — kept Mexican General Santa Anna’s overwhelming army at bay for 13 days against unbelievable odds. On March 6, 1836, the brave Tennessee Volunteers and the other Alamo defenders were overrun and breathed their last. However, the crucial days the Volunteers slowed down the Mexican army gave another Tennessean, Sam Houston, enough time to gallop through Texas raising an army to defend what would become the Lone Star State. This army defeated Santa Anna in no small part because of the contributions of Tennessee’s Volunteers. There can be no doubt Texas owes a great debt of gratitude for its statehood to the fierce men from Tennessee. Tennessee ... The Volunteer State But Tennessee’s status as the “Volunteer State” was solidified 10 years later when the United States War Department called for volunteers in the War with Mexico. Moving quickly to meet their allotted quota of 2,800 recruits, state officials were overwhelmed by 30,000 volunteers. It was during the Spanish-American War that the students of the University of Tennessee began to lay official claim to the Volunteer nickname for themselves. In 1897, the student yearbook was christened, The Volunteer. In 1902, the Atlanta Constitution used the term “Volunteers” to describe the football team when recounting a game between UT and Georgia Tech. However, the university sports teams continued to operate without an official nickname until 1905. In March of that year an article in the Knoxville Journal announced a nickname had been chosen. “One of the admirers of the old school has suggested ‘the Volunteers’,” the newspaper reported. In classic understatement the report concludes, “The name sounds good, and it is likely that it will stick.” The Volunteer Spirit There have been other men who symbolized the indomitable Tennessee Volunteer spirit on and off the field of battle. One of the most famous proved to be Alvin York in World War I. York was drafted and nearly single-handedly captured 132 Germans, took out about 35 machine guns which had been decimating his battalion and killed no fewer than 25 of the enemy, according to officers’ reports. Indeed, Marshall Ferdinand Foch said of York’s heroism, “What you did was the greatest thing accomplished by any private soldier of all the armies of Europe.” Humbly, the reluctant hero returned home to Tennessee as the toast of the nation. Yet York wasn’t interested in celebrity or cashing in on his fame, saying, “This uniform ain’t for sale.” Tennessee Volunteers took part in every theater of World War II, whether helping secure the deadly beaches of Normandy to working in their own backyard in Oak Ridge on The Manhattan Project and the atomic bomb that brought an end to war in the Pacific. Not every ....... Volunteer story was forged in wartime. Part of the Volunteer legend deals with self-

sacrifice for the good of others. Take Tennessee train engineer Casey Jones, for instance. Steaming fullbore in the early morning in Vaughan, Miss., in 1900, Jones saw boxcars in the distance on the tracks in front of him. When it became apparent the President Andrew Jackson passenger train he was driving was destined for a catastrophic collision, Jones was faced with a desperate choice — he could jump out of the engine and save his life before the crash or he could stay in the engine and try to slow the train enough to save more passengers’ lives. After ordering his fireDavy Crockett man to jump from the racing locomotive and save himself, Jones died that day saving dozens of lives in an amazing display of self-sacrifice. But his story and heroism live in the ballad devoted to the Tennessean who saved so many lives that day in his casket of splintered wood and twisted steel. The legend of the Tennessee Volunteer also applies to great minds who create items of great cultural value in interesting ways. The first constitution ever written by white men in America was drafted in 1772 by the Watauga Association near present day Elizabethton. Take the example of the Cherokee silversmith Sequoyah, the only known man in the history of the world to single-handedly create an alphabet, the first written language for a Native American people. Similarly, Tennessean Alex Haley became one of America’s most famous authors after recounting the experience of African-Americans in his highly-acclaimed “Roots.” Haley chose to make his home in Norris, just a short drive from the University of Tennessee. Every time since the nation’s birth to this very day, when the U.S. needs an extraordinary effort to brush back the dark curtain of hopelessness, the Tennessee Volunteers are called. The bravery, heroism, wisdom and ferocity of the Volunteers place them on a pedestal of great American legends. - Contributed by Nathan Kirkham
