2008 UNC Tennis Dual Match Season Outlook<br />

Coming off back-to-back record-shattering<br />

seasons, the University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

men’s tennis team is well positioned<br />

to make another sustained run at conference,<br />

regional and national honors in<br />

2008. The Tar Heels begin their challenging<br />

dual-match season with five consecutive<br />

matches at home beginning January<br />

29 before hitting the road for matches at<br />

Ohio State and at the Intercollegiate Tennis<br />

Association Team Nationals in Seattle,<br />

Wash. The Tar Heels will begin their ACC<br />

season at home against Wake Forest on<br />

March 18 after meeting the likes of Rice,<br />

Ohio State, VCU and Auburn in the nonconference<br />

part of the schedule.<br />

Head coach Sam Paul’s 2007 team was<br />

instrumental in winning its head mentor<br />

ACC Coach of the Year accolades for the<br />

fifth time in his career and Intercollegiate<br />

Tennis Association Mideast Region Coach<br />

of the Year honors for the fourth time since<br />

the 1996 season. Coach Paul was also a<br />

national coach of the year finalist for the<br />

fourth time in the past 12 years.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> finished 2007 campaign with a<br />

scintillating 24-4 overall ledger and a sterling<br />

9-2 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

regular season. <strong>Carolina</strong>’s 11 overall<br />

victories against ACC opponents last year<br />

was a school record.<br />

All this came after losing four seniors<br />

from the singles starting lineup to graduation<br />

following the 2006 campaign, including<br />

first-team All-Americas Brad Pomeroy<br />

and Raian Luchici. <strong>Carolina</strong> came back to<br />

win 24 matches last season with a team<br />

that included only one senior – Sebastian<br />

Guejman – on the Tar Heels’ 15-man roster.<br />

The Tar Heels won their first 20<br />

matches of the season, reached the ACC<br />

Tournament finals for the first time since<br />

2002 and advanced to the second round<br />

of the NCAA Tournament. <strong>Carolina</strong> also<br />

earned its 15 NCAA Tournament bid in the<br />

past 16 years. UNC has participated in<br />

the NCAA Tournament every year since<br />

1992 except for 1999.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> returns 14 of 15 lettermen in<br />

2008 and adds a pair of talented newcomers<br />

to the roster. Returning singles<br />

starters from 2007 are headed by senior<br />

Benjamin Carlotti of Paris, France, an All-<br />

Atlantic Coast Conference selection last<br />

yea who played at the No. 1 singles spot.<br />

Carlotti finished the season with 22 overall<br />

singles wins, including eight over nationally-ranked<br />

opponents.<br />

Sophomores Chris Kearney of Irvine,<br />

Calif. and Stefan Hardy of Santa Maria,<br />

Calif. were both incredible starters as<br />

freshmen while sharing the No. 2 and No.<br />

3 starting positions. Hardy played at the<br />

No. 2 spot 15 times and No. 3 spot 12<br />

times and compiled a 22-7 overall ledger.<br />

He won honors as the Intercollegiate Ten-<br />

nis Association Mideast Region Rookie of<br />

the Year.<br />

Kearney was named the Atlantic Coast<br />

Conference’s Freshman Player of the Year<br />

for 2007 after the Californian finished with<br />

an overall singles record of 24-9. Kearney<br />

was 6-4 at No. 2 and 8-2 at No. 3 during<br />

the dual match season.<br />

Besides the big three at the top of the<br />

Tar Heel lineup, three other Tar Heels with<br />

significant returning starting experience in<br />

singles include junior Taylor Fogleman of<br />

New Orleans, La., senior Will Plyler of<br />

Raleigh, N.C. and senior Karl Wishart of<br />

Baden-Baden, Germany. Senior David<br />

Stone of Greensboro, N.C. also figures in<br />

the mix for a starting singles position as<br />

does sophomore Clay Donato, a native of<br />

Toronto, Ontario and a transfer from Texas<br />

A&M University who started for the Aggies<br />

in their singles lineup last year.<br />

Fogleman led the Tar Heels in overall<br />

singles victories last year with 26, of which<br />

16 were in dual matches. Playing primarly<br />

at No. 6 singles, Plyler, a two-year starter,<br />

finished 17-8 overall. Wishart was 5-2 at<br />

No. 6 singles last year while seeing his<br />

first significant playing time in the Tar Heel<br />

singles grouping.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> is expected to utilize doubles<br />

combinations that feature Taylor Fogleman<br />

and Chris Kearney, Stefan Hardy and<br />

Clay Donato and Lenny Gullan and David<br />

Stone. Fogleman and Hardy were a brilliant<br />

22-4 last year and went on to win the<br />

ITA Mideast Region indoor doubles championship<br />

this past October. The duo then<br />

reached the semifinals of the national indoors<br />

in November.<br />

Stone and Gullan return for their third<br />

season together as starters in doubles.<br />

The tandem played at No. 1 doubles last<br />

year and finished with a 20-16 overall<br />

record. Hardy teamed with Sebastian<br />

Guejman at No. 2 doubles last year with<br />

that highly successful doubles team going<br />

19-5 overall.<br />

Doubles play was crucial for the Tar<br />

Heels in 2007 as it went 24-0 in matches<br />

in which they won the doubles point and<br />

0-4 in matches in which they did not. UNC<br />

won seven matches decided by 4-3 scores<br />

and another four in which the final score<br />

was 4-2.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> finished the season<br />

ranked No. 10 in the ITA rankings, its highest<br />

finish since going to the NCAA quarterfinals<br />

under legendary coach Allen Morris<br />

in 1992. UNC reached the No. 5 ranking<br />

on both April 3 and April 10, 2007, marking<br />

its highest-ever in-season ranking.<br />

UNC begins the 2008 campaign at the<br />

No. 10 spot in which it finished last year.<br />

Senior Karl Wishart<br />

entered this year<br />

with a 31-12 career<br />

singles mark.<br />

Junior Taylor Fogleman<br />

led <strong>Carolina</strong> with<br />

26 singles win in<br />

2006-07.<br />

Chris Kearney won<br />

ACC Rookie of the<br />

Year in 2007, the first<br />

Tar Heel since 1999.<br />

Stefan Hardy was<br />

21-6 in dual-match<br />

singles last year.<br />

With the parity present in<br />

men's college tennis, Sam<br />

Paul's career achievements at<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> are significant.<br />

He has 237 career victories at<br />

UNC and is the ACC's third<br />

active winningest coach with<br />

a 84-37 regular season record. He has<br />

coached six first-team All-American and four<br />

players who have achived singles rankings in<br />

the top 500 in the world. Paul also served as<br />

Don Johnson's traveling coach when he ascended<br />

to No. 1 in the ATP Doubles Rankings.<br />

Monroe, Tripp Phillips, Brad Pomeroy and<br />

Raian Luchici continue to play on the ATP<br />

Tour.<br />

A recent addition to the membership of the<br />

200-victory club, Paul begins his 15th year as<br />

head coach at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> in 2007-08 and<br />

his 19th season at <strong>Carolina</strong> overall. A fivetime<br />

Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the<br />

Year selection, four-time intercollegiate Tennis<br />

Association Mideast Region Coach of the Year<br />

and four-time ITA National Coach of the Year<br />

Coach Sam Paul is seen pictured with <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

Wimbledon and U.S. Open singles champion.


Sam Paul earned his 200th victory as the Tar Heels’ head coach when <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

defeated Charlotte 7-0 on March 4, 2006 at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.<br />

237-115 dual-match record at <strong>Carolina</strong> and a<br />

84-37 ACC regular-season dual match record.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong>’s tradition of excellence in<br />

men’s tennis has continued under Paul, who<br />

ranks as the fourth winningest coach in ACC<br />

history in dual match wins in his career and is<br />

second in UNC history in that category behind<br />

only Don Skakle.<br />

The 47-year-old native of Lancaster, S.C.,<br />

has been uniting the winning reputation of<br />

UNC men’s tennis with his adroit skills for<br />

coaching and recruiting since he was named<br />

the head coach by UNC Athletic Director John<br />

Swofford in April 1993, making <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

one of the most respected programs in the nation.<br />

Twice since the 2000 season, Paul has<br />

mentored student-athletes who have won the<br />

Patterson Medal as <strong>Carolina</strong>’s outstanding<br />

senior student-athlete<br />

— Tripp Phillips<br />

in 2000 and Nick<br />

Monroe in 2004.<br />

Phillips returned to<br />

campus last year as<br />

the assistant coach<br />

for the Tar Heels.<br />

Paul has also<br />

mentored six firstteam<br />

All-Americas<br />

in his tenure as<br />

head coach, including<br />

one two-time<br />

first-team All America.<br />

David Caldwell<br />

(two-time All-America),<br />

Brint Morrow,<br />

Tripp Phillips, Nick<br />

Monroe, Raian<br />

Luchici and Brad Pomeroy have been<br />

awarded the prestigious honor of All-America<br />

status. Paul coached Bryan Jones, Chris<br />

Mumford, Ronald Thornqvist and Daryl Wyatt<br />

to first-team All-America honors during his assistant<br />

coaching years at <strong>Carolina</strong> from 2000-<br />

03 under the head coaching aegis of Allen<br />

Morris.<br />

In 2006, Paul mentored Raian Luchici who<br />

became the first ITA National Senior Player of<br />

the Year in UNC history while playing on one<br />

of the best squads UNC fans have witnessed.<br />

The 2006 squad finished the season ranked<br />

No. 12 nationally. In the course of the season,<br />

the Tar Heels tied what was then the highest<br />

team ranking in ITA ratings history with a No.<br />

8 rank, a ranking which was also reached by<br />

the 1992 squad. The 2006 team went 25-5 in<br />

dual matches and tied the record for the most<br />

wins in school history, which was also<br />

achieved by the 1992 team. Joining Luchici<br />

as an All-America honoree in 2006 was fellow<br />

senior Brad Pomeroy. Six Tar Heels won 20 or<br />

more singles matches during the course of the<br />

season.<br />

Besides their success on the court, Tar Heel<br />

tennis teams under Coach Paul also excel in<br />

the classroom. The UNC men’s tennis team<br />

had the highest composite grade point average<br />

of any men’s athletic<br />

team at <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

during the 2003-04<br />

school year and again<br />

during the 2004-05<br />

school year. Eight Tar<br />

Heel players of the 14<br />

on the squad in 2005-<br />

06 were named to the<br />

ACC Academic Honor<br />

Roll. Eight of the 15<br />

players on last year’s<br />

squad were tapped for<br />

ACC Academic Honor<br />

Roll accolades.<br />

Paul has tutored four<br />

players at <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

who have been<br />

ranked in the Top 500<br />

in the world in men’s<br />

Head Coach Sam Paul<br />

singles — Don Johnson (UNC class of ’90),<br />

David Caldwell (UNC Class of ’96), Tripp<br />

Phillips (UNC Class of ’00) and Nick Monroe<br />

(UNC Class of ’04).<br />

Paul became the only ACC coach to coach<br />

a player ranked No. 1 in the world in the ATP<br />

men’s doubles rankings when he acted as personal<br />

coach for UNC alumnus Don Johnson<br />

during his magnificent runs in doubles at Wimbledon<br />

and the U.S. Open during the late<br />

1990s and early years of this decade. Paul<br />

coached Johnson to a pair of Grand Slam titles<br />

and an appearance on the U.S. Davis Cup<br />

Team.<br />

Paul took over the reins as head coach in<br />

May 1993 after being an assistant for coach<br />

Allen Morris for four years from 1989-1993. In<br />

2002, Paul directed his Tar Heels to a 19-6<br />

dual match record and the Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

tournament championship, the 25th in<br />

school history. <strong>Carolina</strong> has been invited to the<br />

NCAA Tournament 15 of the past 16 seasons<br />

while Paul has been an assistant coach and<br />

the head coach in Chapel Hill; only once in<br />

Paul’s tenure have the Tar Heels failed to<br />

make the NCAA Tournament field and that<br />

came in the 1999 season.<br />

Paul has repeatedly been rewarded for his<br />

coaching ability as he was selected the Atlantic<br />

Coast Conference Coach of the Year in<br />

1996, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2007. The 1996<br />

Tar Heels amassed a 21-5 overall record, went<br />

undefeated in the ACC regular season at 8-0<br />

and saw five players complete individual 20win<br />

seasons. Senior David Caldwell received<br />

ACC Player of the Year honors for the third<br />

consecutive season and won the No. 1 singles<br />

title for the third straight season — both league<br />

firsts.<br />

The 2000 Tar Heels compiled an 18-6 mark,<br />

reached the NCAA Tournament regional final<br />

and had three players earn ACC flight championship<br />

honors. Senior Tripp Phillips earned All-<br />

America distinction as he advanced to the<br />

NCAA quarterfinals and won the Patterson<br />

Medal as UNC’s outstanding senior athlete.<br />

In 2002, the Tar Heels had one of their best<br />

seasons in recent memory as UNC went 19-6<br />

overall against a brutal schedule and won the<br />

tennis world by rising from a No. 50 preseason<br />

ranking to share the ACC regular-season<br />

championship and earn the No. 11 seed in the<br />

NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels finished 23-<br />

5 overall and hosted an NCAA regional for the<br />

first time since the tournament field expanded<br />

to 64. Nick Monroe became the fourth NCAA<br />

singles quarterfinalist coach by Paul.<br />

After serving as the Director of Tennis and<br />

the head men’s and women’s tennis coaches<br />

at the University of Richmond for two years<br />

from 1987-89, Paul came to Chapel Hill as<br />

Coach Allen Morris’ assistant coach in September<br />

1989. At the University of Richmond,<br />

he won honors as the Colonial Athletic Association’s<br />

(CAA) Women’s Tennis Coach of the<br />

Year in both 1988 and 1989. His women went<br />

11-11 in his first year at the helm, finishing third<br />

in the CAA. The Spiders improved to 14-7 in<br />

1989, which was good for second place in the<br />

CAA. The 1989 team was also ranked in the<br />

Mideast region’s Top 10. On the men’s side,<br />

Paul led the Spiders to a 12-9 mark and thirdplace<br />

CAA league finish in his second year<br />

while working with a non-scholarship men’s<br />

program at Richmond.<br />

During Paul’s four years as the <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

assistant, UNC<br />

was 82-29 overall<br />

in dual<br />

matches, 26-3 in<br />

Atlantic Coast<br />

Conference regular-season<br />

dual<br />

matches and 10-<br />

2 in ACC Tournament<br />

was an assistant<br />

for teams which<br />

won ACC Tournament<br />

titles in<br />

1990 and 1992,<br />

were the ACC<br />

Tournament runnersup<br />

in 1991<br />

and 1993 and<br />

won the conference’sregular-<br />

season championships in 1991 and 1992. All<br />

four teams Paul worked with at <strong>Carolina</strong> as an<br />

assistant to Morris were ranked in the Top 25<br />

in the nation by the ITA.<br />

The 1992 <strong>Carolina</strong> team reached the quarterfinals<br />

of the NCAA Tournament and the<br />

1993 squad was in the NCAA Tournament<br />

Final 16. Since Paul took over as UNC’s head<br />

coach the Tar Heels have made the NCAA<br />

Tournament field every year from 1994<br />

through 2007 with the exception of 1999.<br />

Under Paul’s guidance, the Tar Heels hosted<br />

NCAA regionals in 2004, 2006 and 2007.<br />

During his tenure, the Tar Heels have also<br />

had remarkable success in ITA Grand Slam<br />

events. A <strong>Carolina</strong> player has competed in the<br />

national singles indoor competition nine of the<br />

past 16 years, most recently Raian Luchici in<br />

2005. In 1993, former UNC men’s assistant<br />

coach and two-time All-America selection<br />

Ronald Thornqvist won the ITA Indoors title in<br />

Minneapolis, Minn.<br />

In 2004, Geoff Boyd and Brad Pomeroy<br />

won the Mideast Region doubles championship<br />

and advanced to the quarterfinals of<br />

the national indoors. Brad Pomeroy and<br />

Raian Luchici reached the finals of the 2005<br />

All-American Championships and the semifinals<br />

of the 2005 ITA National Indoors and<br />

earned the No. 1 collegiate ranking in doubles<br />

in the 2006 preseason in the process. The<br />

duo ended the season as All-America selections,<br />

ranked No. 6 in<br />

the country.<br />

named Director of Athletics on June 25,<br />

1997. In his 10 years as director, the<br />

UNC Department of Athletics has undergone<br />

a number of changes, yet remains<br />

one of the premiere programs in the Atlantic Coast<br />

Conference and in the nation.<br />

The Goldsboro, N.C., native heads a program that with<br />

28 varsity sports is among the largest in the Atlantic Coast<br />

Conference. <strong>Carolina</strong> prides itself on a strong overall athletic<br />

program and finished third in the 2006-07 U.S. Sports<br />

Academy Directors’ Cup, a measure of NCAA postseason<br />

success. The Tar Heels, inaugural winners of the Cup in<br />

1994, have finished among the top 10 teams 12 times in<br />

the competition's 14 years. During Baddour’s tenure, UNC<br />

has claimed 54 ACC Championships, more than any other<br />

school over that span.<br />

Baddour is in his 41st year of continuous service to the<br />

university. He graduated from UNC in 1966 and was appointed<br />

Assistant Dean of Men in 1967. He served as Assistant<br />

Dean of Admissions and Assistant Dean of the UNC<br />

School of Law and also earned a Master of Arts degree in<br />

education prior to joining the athletic department in 1986.<br />

Active in Chapel Hill community affairs, he is a past president<br />

of the Public School Foundation and has served on<br />

the Parks and Recreation Commission. He and his wife,<br />

2007 Season Review<br />

Benjamin Carlotti<br />

played No. 1 singles<br />

for the Tar Heels in<br />

2007.<br />

Stefan Hardy split<br />

time at No. 2 and No. 3<br />

singles for the Tar<br />

Heels last season.<br />

Chris Kearney split<br />

time at No. 2 and No.<br />

3 singles with Stefan<br />

Hardy.<br />

Sebastian Guejman<br />

played No. 4 singles<br />

for the Tar Heels.<br />

Fielding one of the youngest teams in school history,<br />

the University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> men’s tennis team followed<br />

a tremendous 2006 season with a 2007 campaign<br />

that was its equal, if not its better, in many respects.<br />

In 2006, <strong>Carolina</strong> went 25-5, finished No. 12 in the final<br />

ITA poll and won its regional final against Clemson to advance<br />

to the NCAA Final 16 for the first time since 1993.<br />

That team finished in a fourth-place tie in the ACC but was<br />

upset in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals. It was anchored<br />

by four senior starters, including the singles players<br />

at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 in the lineup. Among the<br />

four seniors on that team were 2006 first-team All-Americas<br />

Raian Luchici and Brad Pomeroy.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> began the 2007 season with two juniors, one<br />

sophomore and two freshmen in the starting singles<br />

lineup to go along with the team’s lone senior, Sebastian<br />

Guejman. When the first national ranking of the year was<br />

released on January 9, 2007, the Tar Heels were ranked<br />

No. 22, 10 spots lower than its 2006 end-of-the-season<br />

ranking. That was not totally unexpected as pollsters<br />

were waiting to see if the younger Tar Heels were going to<br />

follow their Sweet 16 season with another banner campaign.<br />

What <strong>Carolina</strong> found out quickly is that as a team it was<br />

developing a pattern where from day-to-day different players<br />

stepped up to provide the Tar Heels with an almost<br />

uncanny ability to win closely contested matches.<br />

Early on the Tar Heels’ winning formula became clear<br />

— win the doubles point. In fact, the doubles point was an<br />

indicator in each of the 28 matches of the season. Win<br />

the point and <strong>Carolina</strong> was 24-0. Lose the point and the<br />

Tar Heels were 0-4.<br />

Eleven of the 28 matches were decided by either 4-2<br />

or 4-3 scores and the Tar Heels went an umarred 11-0 in<br />

them. Even more amazing was the fact that <strong>Carolina</strong> did<br />

not sweep the doubles matches in any of those 11 victories.<br />

In each victory a different combination of doubles<br />

teams stepped up and got the job done. This regularly allowed<br />

the Tar Heels to only have to win three singles<br />

matches to earn the team win. Repeatedly head coach<br />

Sam Paul’s team found a way to do just that. In fact, in<br />

posting 24 victories overall, <strong>Carolina</strong> only swept all three<br />

doubles matches six times.<br />

In 2006, the Tar Heels had won their first 15 matches of<br />

the season, running the table against non-conference opponents<br />

before losing their ACC opener against Wake<br />

Forest. The younger Heels of ‘07 went that start-of-thecampaign<br />

winning streak five better, winning 20 in succession<br />

before falling to Duke 5-2 on April 11. It was the<br />

best start to a UNC season in 42 years — since the 1965<br />

squad won all 20 of its matches in a perfect 20-0 campaign.<br />

After winning its first four matches at home and outscoring<br />

its opponents 27-1, the Heels traveled to Houston,<br />

Texas and defeated Rice 4-2 and Vanderbilt 4-0. The<br />

Rice match was the first of several matches in which senior<br />

Sebastian Guejman provided a winning team point at<br />

No. 4 singles.<br />

UNC then returned home to beat Mideast Region foe<br />

South <strong>Carolina</strong> for the fourth straight year, a 6-1 lopsided<br />

win in Chapel Hill. Eight days later, the Heels beat VCU<br />

on the road 4-2, their third straight year beating the Rams<br />

when VCU was ranked higher than the Tar Heels.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> went on to notch 4-3 or 4-2 wins over San<br />

Diego, Georgia Tech, Clemson (its fourth win in the last<br />

five meetings against the Tigers), Wake Forest, Florida<br />

State, NC State and Virginia Tech.<br />

Finishing the regular season 9-2 in the ACC, the Heels<br />

2008 UNC MEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 22<br />

beat Virginia Tech 4-2 in the ACC<br />

quarterfinals and staged a furious<br />

rally to down Florida State 4-<br />

3 in the semifinals. The Heels<br />

ran into a buzzsaw against second-ranked<br />

Virginia in the ACC<br />

final but the appearance in the<br />

ACC championship match was<br />

the first for UNC since 2002.<br />

Despite being upset by NC<br />

State in the second round of the<br />

NCAA Tournament, i2007 was a<br />

remarkable season for UNC.<br />

Benjamin Carlotti and Chris<br />

Kearney were named All-ACC,<br />

Kearney was named the ACC<br />

Freshman of the Year and Stefan<br />

Hardy was the ITA Mideast<br />

Region Rookie of the Year.<br />

After guiding his team to a<br />

school-record 11 overall ACC<br />

wins in 2007, Sam Paul was<br />

named 2007 ACC Coach of the<br />

Year. That was the fifth time<br />

overall and fourth time in the last<br />

seven years that Paul earned<br />

the honor, which annually is<br />

voted upon by his peers. Paul's<br />

teams have finished among the<br />

top three in the final ACC regular<br />

season standings in 14 of his 18<br />

years at UNC as an assistant<br />

coach and the head coach.<br />

During the 2007 season, <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

was ranked in the nation's<br />

top 10 for six consecutive weeks,<br />

As a sophomore in<br />

2007, Taylor Fogleman<br />

recorded 26 singles<br />

victories.<br />

Will Plyler spent most<br />

of the season at the<br />

No. 6 position in the<br />

singles lineup.<br />

a school record. <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> posted its fourth highestranked<br />

road win in school history on March 28, 2007 when<br />

the Tar Heels defeated No. 7 Wake Forest in Winston-<br />

Salem, N.C.<br />

Paul's 2007 team also had 13 wins over 11 different<br />

teams that were selected for the NCAA Tournament. <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

played in the nation's toughest conference, finishing<br />

second in the league in the ACC regular season and in<br />

the ACC Tournament. <strong>Carolina</strong> also earned an NCAA first<br />

and second host site for the third time in four years. UNC<br />

went 9-1 on the road last year, with its only loss coming at<br />

No. 2 Virginia.<br />

The Southern Conference decided a<br />

sole singles champion throughout<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>’s membership in the league.<br />

The Southern Conference decided a<br />

sole doubles championship team<br />

throughout <strong>Carolina</strong>’s membership in<br />

the league. In addition to those listed,<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> also won doubles championships<br />

in 1922 and 1923 but research<br />

has been unable to attach the<br />

names of the champions to those<br />

years. The Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

decided sole singles and doubles<br />

champions from 1954 to 1964.<br />

Beginning in 1965, ACC champions<br />

were determined by flight. The ACC<br />

discontinued the practice of naming<br />

flight champions following the 2001<br />

season. It now merely names an All-<br />

ACC Team.<br />

Tom Chewning won<br />

ACC titles in 1965,<br />

1966 and 1967 at No.<br />

5 and 4 singles.<br />

O.H. Parrish won the<br />

No. 1 singles and doubles<br />

titles in 1965 for<br />

Coach Don Skakle.<br />

Smokey Swenson<br />

won ACC singles and<br />

doubles crowns in<br />

1967.<br />

Wilmer Hines won<br />

the 1933 Southern<br />

Conference titles.


Ron Erskine played<br />

in the 1983 NCAA<br />

singles tournament.<br />

Eddie Stewart was<br />

named All-ACC in<br />

1985 and 1987.<br />

Paul Harsanyi was<br />

the 1994 ACC Freshman<br />

of the Year.<br />

2008 UNC MEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 33


<strong>Carolina</strong> History<br />

The 2002 Tar Heels captured the 25th ACC championship<br />

in school history.<br />

The University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> men’s tennis<br />

program began its march to greatness in 1908.<br />

The 2008 season will mark 100 years since that<br />

first <strong>Carolina</strong> team played the Tar Heels’ first varsity<br />

season. Because three teams were not<br />

fielded in later years the 2008 campaign will actually<br />

mark the 98th season of UNC tennis. The<br />

2010 campaign will mark the 100th UNC team<br />

of all-time.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>’s tennis history is rich in nature. The<br />

Tar Heels have won more dual matches than<br />

any other school in history.<br />

Over the course of the past 18 seasons during<br />

the assistant coach and head coach tennure<br />

of Sam Paul, the Tar Heels have claimed six Atlantic<br />

Coast Conference regular-season or tournament<br />

championships (1990, 1991, 1992,<br />

1996, 2002, 2004); earned 10 final Top 25 national<br />

rankings from the Intercollegiate Tennis<br />

Association (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994,<br />

1996, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2007); and merited 15<br />

spots in the NCAA Tournament field (1992,<br />

1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000,<br />

2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007).<br />

The 2007 squad received the school’s highest<br />

seed ever in the NCAA Tournament at No. 6; the<br />

2004 and 2006 teams were both seeded No. 11<br />

in the NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels hosted<br />

an NCAA regional in 2004 for the first time since<br />

the tournament went to its current 64-team format<br />

in 1999. The 2006 team also hosted an<br />

NCAA regional and beat Clemson in the regional<br />

final to advance to the NCAA Sweet 16<br />

for the first time since 1993. In 2007, <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

again hosted an NCAA regional at the Cone-<br />

Kenfield Tennis Center.<br />

The results of the past 18 years have been<br />

cause for celebration for Tar Heel head coach<br />

Sam Paul and his players. <strong>Carolina</strong>’s proud tennis<br />

program regained momentum in the 1990s<br />

Wayne Hearn earned 1985 Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

Player-of-the-Year honors.<br />

2008 UNC MEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 34<br />

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Tar Heels regularly<br />

drew capacity crowds at the Cobb Dorm clay<br />

courts, then the home of UNC tennis.<br />

similar to that from its early years in the nascent<br />

decades of the 20th century. It seems only appropriate<br />

that the first decade of the 21st century<br />

match the accomplishments long associated<br />

with the sport of tennis in Chapel Hill.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> has always had an especially rich<br />

tradition in the sport of tennis, featuring a long<br />

list of great coaches, players and teams. Over<br />

the past 100 years, since the first team was<br />

fielded in 1908 and during 97 successful seasons,<br />

UNC teams have compiled a phenomenal<br />

won-loss record that cannot be rivaled in all of<br />

college athletics.<br />

The Tar Heels’ overall dual-match record<br />

stands at 1,422-351-8, a winning percentage of<br />

.801. It was during the 2002 season that <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> reached the point in its history where it<br />

had 1,000 more wins than it had losses, any<br />

amazing feat of long-term excellence. The milestone<br />

will came on February 9, 2002 when UNC<br />

defeated West Virginia 7-0 at the Cone-Kenfield<br />

Tennis Center. The win gave the Tar Heels<br />

1,000 more wins in history than losses for the<br />

first time as UNC’s record stood 1,307-307-8 at<br />

the end of that day. Going into the 2007 season,<br />

UNC teams have won 1,071 matches more than<br />

they have lost.<br />

Since the first Tar Heel team was fielded in<br />

the spring of 1908, 84 of 97 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

teams have posted winning records, five have<br />

had break even seasons and only eight have<br />

had losing records and even one of those was<br />

good enough to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.<br />

During three years in the early part of the<br />

20th Century, the University fielded no team at<br />

all and in only five of the eight all-time losing<br />

seasons did the team actually play more than<br />

two matches on its entire schedule, finishing 3-<br />

4 in 1945, 8-9 in 1957, 14-16 in 1986, 11-14 in<br />

1999 and 11-12 in 2003. Nineteen of the 97<br />

The 2004 UNC team earned the privilege of<br />

hosting an NCAA Torunament regional for the<br />

first time in school history.<br />

Allen Morris served as UNC head from from<br />

1990-93 and was succeeded by his assistant<br />

Sam Paul.<br />

teams have finished their campaigns undefeated,<br />

the last time coming in 1970 with an 18-<br />

0 mark. During the late 1930s and early 1940s,<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> teams put together a 67-match winning<br />

streak, a collegiate record in its time which was<br />

eventually broken by William & Mary in 1949.<br />

Twenty-four <strong>Carolina</strong> teams have finished the<br />

season ranked among the nation’s Top 25<br />

teams, topped by a tie for third place at both the<br />

1947 and 1948 NCAA Championships. The University<br />

of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> also played host to the<br />

71st National Collegiate Tennis Championships<br />

in 1955 on the Campus Courts in Chapel Hill.<br />

Since the NCAA abandoned flight play and went<br />

to a team tournament format in 1977, <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

has made the NCAA field on 17 occasions — in<br />

1977, 1978, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996,<br />

1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,<br />

2005, 2006 and 2007.<br />

Success in the Atlantic Coast Conference has<br />

also been the rule of the day during <strong>Carolina</strong>’s<br />

vaunted tennis history. Since the conference’s<br />

formation during the summer of 1953, Tar Heel<br />

teams have won a total of 25 league championships,<br />

including 23 outright crowns. In fact, in<br />

54 years of Atlantic Coast Conference competition,<br />

the Tar Heels have finished outside of the<br />

upper division of the league standings only five<br />

times and have been either first or second in the<br />

standings in 39 of those 54 years. The Tar Heels’<br />

cumulative regular-season dual-match ACC<br />

record stands at an amazing 305-80, a winning<br />

percentage of .792. <strong>Carolina</strong> players also won<br />

86 ACC singles championships and 37 doubles<br />

titles before flight champions were eliminated<br />

after the 2001 season.<br />

The Birth of Tar Heel Tennis<br />

The roots of tennis competition at the University<br />

of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> date back to 1884 when<br />

Tommy Bradford won the 1953 Southern Conferene<br />

and 1955 Atlantic Coast Conference doubles<br />

titles.


The 1965 <strong>Carolina</strong> team finished the regular season<br />

with a perfect 20-0 mark.<br />

the University Tennis Club was founded. In<br />

1894, the club began intercollegiate competition<br />

in the sport. It was not until 1908, however, that<br />

letters were first awarded to the players and the<br />

sport was granted varsity status at the University.<br />

From 1908 through 1927, the team functioned<br />

without a head coach and in 1911, 1915<br />

and 1919 no team was fielded at all. Beginning<br />

in 1920, Tar Heel teams have faced outside<br />

competition for 88 successive years.<br />

Program continuity kicked in as of the 1927<br />

season when John Kenfield arrived as head<br />

coach and Tar Heel tennis fortunes began to<br />

soar quickly. Kenfield answered an advertisement<br />

placed by the University Athletic Association<br />

in the American Lawn Tennis Journal. The<br />

ad sought <strong>Carolina</strong>’s first full-time tennis coach.<br />

Kenfield’s decision to respond to the query<br />

proved to be a stroke of luck for <strong>Carolina</strong> and<br />

not a half-bad decision for himself.<br />

Kenfield, then 35 years old, was working in<br />

Chicago as both a tennis instructor at the Lake<br />

Shore Country Club in suburban Glencoe, Ill.,<br />

and as a vice president of the Curtiss Candy<br />

Company, an enterprise he’d helped organize in<br />

the Windy City. While at Curtiss Candy Company,<br />

Kenfield named the Baby Ruth candy bar,<br />

one of the biggest sellers of all time, as well as<br />

the Butterfinger bar. The young candy company<br />

wanted a catchy name for its new confectionery<br />

treat featuring chocolate and peanuts to compete<br />

with the popular O’Henry bar of its leading<br />

business competitor. Babe Ruth was then at the<br />

height of his baseball career with the New York<br />

Yankees and Kenfield wrote the famous Bambino,<br />

asking for his permission to name the<br />

candy bar after him. Ruth sent back a royalty figure<br />

which the fledgling company couldn’t afford.<br />

Kenfield then suggested “Baby Ruth” as an alternate<br />

name because no royalties would have<br />

Greg Archer was a starter on the 2002 Tar Heel<br />

team which captured the ACC title.<br />

The Tar Heels celebrate after beating Clemson<br />

4-1 in the 2006 NCAA regonal final at the Cone-<br />

Kenfield Tennis Center.<br />

been involved. The name was adopted, the<br />

candy bar was a smash hit with the American<br />

populace, Curtiss made millions and the rest, as<br />

they say, is history. Baby Ruth and Butterfinger<br />

candy bars are still enormously popular fare 80<br />

years later.<br />

Kenfield’s first year as head coach was 1928<br />

and until his retirement after the 1955 season,<br />

his teams wrote a rather remarkable success<br />

story during his 28-year coaching tenure. Ten of<br />

his 28 teams finished their dual match seasons<br />

unbeaten and his overall coaching record was<br />

434-30-2 for a remarkable winning percentage<br />

of .933. His teams averaged a 16-1 record each<br />

year during his 28 seasons on the Hill. It was<br />

only appropriate that when the University built a<br />

new tennis facility in 1992 the naming honors on<br />

the complex should honor the founder of the<br />

program, Kenfield.<br />

Ruling the Roost in the Southern Conference<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> also dominated tennis in the Southern<br />

Conference, beginning with the league’s<br />

founding prior to the 1921-22 school year and<br />

running through 1953 when the Atlantic Coast<br />

Conference was formed. The University of<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> was one of the seven founding<br />

members of the ACC. Under Kenfield, <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

teams won Southern Conference team championships<br />

on 15 occasions — 1930, 1931, 1932,<br />

1933, 1936, 1937, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942,<br />

1943, 1944, 1950, 1951 and 1953. Kenfield also<br />

coached 13 Southern Conference individual singles<br />

champions and 13 doubles teams which<br />

won league titles. Prior to Kenfield’s arrival on<br />

campus, <strong>Carolina</strong> also won Southern Conference<br />

doubles titles in 1922 and 1923, giving the<br />

school 15 doubles championships in all.<br />

Kenfield tutored some of the most accomplished<br />

players in <strong>Carolina</strong> tennis history. The<br />

George Sokol won three successive ACC singles<br />

titles from 1962-64.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> History<br />

Ham Strayhorn (right) coached the Tar Heels in<br />

1965, a team which included Don Thompson and<br />

Tommy Bradford.<br />

first great player who came under Kenfield’s<br />

tutelage was Bryan “Bitsy” Grant of Atlanta, Ga.,<br />

who came to UNC as a freshman in 1929.<br />

Rumor has it that Grant was actually enrolled at<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> for three months before Kenfield knew<br />

he was on campus. Once discovered, Grant<br />

blossomed quickly, being named an All-America<br />

selection in 1931. Ranked as high as No. 3 nationally<br />

in men’s singles during his post-collegiate<br />

career, Grant played on four U.S. Davis<br />

Cup teams and won a trio of U.S. Tennis Association<br />

national clay court championships.<br />

Grant and sophomore Wilmer Hines played<br />

together on <strong>Carolina</strong>’s 1931 team, which finished<br />

undefeated and won the Southern Conference<br />

title. Two years later, it was Hines who<br />

succeeded Grant as UNC’s top player, winning<br />

the Southern Conference singles title in 1933<br />

and combining with Lenoir Wright to win the<br />

doubles crown the same year. Hines was also<br />

named an All-America that year. After playing at<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>, Hines went on to win the Italian Open<br />

championship. Ironically, Hines was more than<br />

merely a great tennis player. He also lettered in<br />

basketball three times at <strong>Carolina</strong> and captained<br />

the 1933 UNC basketball squad.<br />

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Kenfield’s<br />

top players included players like Ramsay Potts,<br />

Archie Henderson, Harris Everett and Zan<br />

Carver. Potts, who graduated in 1937 and was<br />

also a two-time letterman in basketball at <strong>Carolina</strong>,<br />

made the NCAA singles semifinals while<br />

at UNC. That was in 1936 when the National Intercollegiate<br />

Championships were held at <strong>North</strong>western<br />

University in Evanston, Ill. That same<br />

year, Potts was ranked No. 3 in the final national<br />

collegiate singles rankings.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> was so dominant during that time in<br />

Southern Conference tennis battles under Kenfield’s<br />

tutelage that in 1936, UNC had all four<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> History<br />

Geoffrey Black won the 1959 ACC doubles title<br />

with partner Ben Keys.<br />

semifinalists in the Southern Conference Tennis<br />

Championships’ singles competition.<br />

Henderson, a native Chapel Hillian, swept<br />

the singles titles of four of the six tournaments in<br />

which he played during the 1940 season and in<br />

the process beat all of the top American players<br />

of the time with the exception of the legendary<br />

Jack Kramer. In 1940, Everett won the Southern<br />

Conference singles championship. A year later,<br />

he won the league doubles crown while teaming<br />

with M.P. Anthony.<br />

Everett, who was also a native of Chapel Hill,<br />

improved his national ranking to 11th in 1940<br />

after he beat both German Davis Cup star Henner<br />

Henkle and Welby Van Horn at the Forest<br />

Hills United States National Championships. In<br />

1941, Carver gave up his Tar Heel football career<br />

to concentrate solely on tennis. He beat out<br />

Everett for the number one spot on the <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

team and then downed his teammate Everett for<br />

the Southern Conference singles title. That<br />

same season, Carver lost a tough three-set<br />

match (7-5 in the third) to Joe Hunt, who would<br />

go on to claim the singles title that year at the<br />

U.S. Open in Forest Hills.<br />

Seixas Becomes a Tennis Legend<br />

Near the end of his coaching tenure, Kenfield<br />

was asked to pick the all-time <strong>Carolina</strong> tennis<br />

team up to that point. The veteran mentor<br />

chose Grant No. 1, Hines No. 3, Henderson No.<br />

4, Carver No. 5 and Everett No. 6. The man in<br />

the second spot was the legendary Vic Seixas,<br />

an All-America selection in 1948. Seixas had a<br />

storybook career at <strong>Carolina</strong>, winning the Southern<br />

Conference singles title in 1948, finishing as<br />

the runnerup in both 1947 and 1949 and teaming<br />

with Clark Taylor to capture the league doubles<br />

crown in 1949. Seixas, a Philadelphia, Pa.<br />

native, came to the University after four years of<br />

Joe Frierson was one of the captains of the 1992<br />

Tar Heel team which reached the NCAA quarterfinals.<br />

2008 UNC MEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 36<br />

Sean Steinour played on Allen Morris’ ACC<br />

championship teams in 1990 and 1992.<br />

Army Air Force duty during World War II. In<br />

1948, Seixas entered the NCAA Tournament as<br />

the top seed. He won five matches in the tournament<br />

before dropping the championship match<br />

6-4, 1-6, 7-5, 6-1 to Harry Likas of the University<br />

of San Francisco, who was then No. 1 in the national<br />

singles rankings, one spot ahead of<br />

Seixas. Seixas advanced farther in NCAA singles<br />

action than any other Tar Heel in history.<br />

The same year at the NCAA Championships,<br />

Seixas and Clark Taylor were seeded third in the<br />

doubles tournament despite their less impressive<br />

seventh-place standing in the national doubles<br />

rankings. The duo won a pair of matches<br />

before losing to the brother team of Evert and<br />

Evert from Notre Dame, 6-3, 6-8, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in<br />

the quarterfinals. During his senior year in 1949,<br />

Seixas was the seventh-ranked men’s singles<br />

player in the U.S. amateur ranks.<br />

Seixas went on to have a star-studded career<br />

after graduating from <strong>Carolina</strong>. By 1952, he<br />

had attained the No. 1 singles ranking among<br />

Americans and he won the Wimbledon singles<br />

championship in 1953 and the U.S. Open title in<br />

1954. The 55 Davis Cup singles matches he<br />

played in were more than any American player<br />

in history and that record stood for decades. His<br />

75 U.S. Open men’s singles victories were a<br />

record that stood until broken by Jimmy Connors<br />

in 1985, almost 30 years after Seixas’ heyday<br />

in the sport.<br />

Skakle Leads UNC To Unequaled Success in<br />

the ACC<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> continued to have great teams during<br />

the 1950s. In the summer of 1953, UNC became<br />

a member of the Atlantic Coast<br />

Conference, joining six other schools as founding<br />

members in a league that grew from the original<br />

seven teams in 1953 to 12 teams in 2005.<br />

Thomas Tanner started on UNC’s 1990 ACC<br />

championship squad.<br />

Tar Heel Archie Henderson at Wimbledon in<br />

1945 with Queen Mary, wife of King George V<br />

and grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II.<br />

From 1955-1959, four different men piloted<br />

the Tar Heel program as head coach. Kenfield<br />

retired after the 1955 season with Ham Strayhorn<br />

serving as the head coach in 1956 and<br />

Vladimir Cernik tapped as the head man in 1957<br />

and 1958.<br />

With Don Skakle’s arrival as UNC’s head<br />

coach in 1959, the second great era in <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> tennis began. A collegiate contemporary<br />

of Seixas who also played on UNC teams in<br />

the late 1940s, Skakle led his teams to total<br />

domination of the Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

during his 22 seasons as head coach. His teams<br />

won a total of 18 ACC titles, including 16 crowns<br />

outright. On nine occasions the Tar Heels finished<br />

among the nation’s Top 25 teams. Overall,<br />

Skakle’s teams had a 418-55 dual-match record<br />

in 22 seasons, including a 132-14 mark in the<br />

ACC.<br />

Among Skakle’s great players were George<br />

Sokol, who won a trio of ACC singles titles from<br />

1962-64, while being named an All-America in<br />

his junior year; Freddie McNair, <strong>Carolina</strong>’s only<br />

four-time first-team All-America selection, who<br />

won three ACC No. 1 doubles crowns and three<br />

ACC singles titles (two at No. 1 and one at No.<br />

2); Rich McKee, McNair’s doubles partner who<br />

was an All-America selection three times and<br />

the winner of two ACC singles championships<br />

and two league doubles crowns; and Billy Brock,<br />

a 1976 All-America who won a pair of conference<br />

crowns in both singles and doubles.<br />

McNair probably ranks as <strong>Carolina</strong>’s finest<br />

player since Seixas left campus in 1949 and before<br />

Roland Thornqvist and David Caldwell’s arrival<br />

in the ’90s. While at <strong>Carolina</strong>, McNair<br />

combined with McKee to reach the NCAA doubles<br />

finals in 1973 at Princeton, N.J., even<br />

though the duo had been upset in the finals of<br />

the ACC Tournament the same year. McNair<br />

UNC’s 2006 Senior Class of Raian Luchici, Brad<br />

Pomeroy, Derek Porter and Aly Mandour


went on to have a distinguished professional career,<br />

attaining the world’s No. 1 doubles ranking<br />

with teammate Sherwood Stewart in the late<br />

1970s. In fact, McNair won the 1976 French<br />

Open doubles title while teaming with Stewart.<br />

Allen Morris Arrives In Chapel Hill<br />

When Skakle passed away on the eve of the<br />

ACC Tournament in 1980, <strong>Carolina</strong> tennis suffered<br />

its first leadership void in over two<br />

decades. The University hired Allen Morris, a<br />

great tennis player in his own right, to become<br />

only the fifth head coach in school history. Morris<br />

was named ACC Coach of the Year three times<br />

during his tenure — in 1983, 1990 and 1992.<br />

During the 1984 campaign, UNC reached a<br />

major milestone when the school won its<br />

1,000th dual match in history. The victory came<br />

in San Antonio, Texas, as the Tar Heels upset<br />

sixth-ranked Trinity 5-4.<br />

Morris’ top players included Jeff Chambers,<br />

Wayne Hearn, Don Johnson, Bryan Jones and<br />

Roland Thornqvist. An All-America in 1985,<br />

Chambers earned four NCAA Tournament singles<br />

invitations and three NCAA doubles bids.<br />

Hearn was the ACC Player of the Year in 1985<br />

and he made the NCAA Tournament in both singles<br />

and doubles twice. Although he never<br />

made the NCAA Tournament, Johnson was a<br />

consistent player who was named the 1990<br />

ACC Tournament Most Valuable Player after<br />

leading the Tar Heels to their first conference<br />

crown in 12 years. Johnson went on to have a<br />

distinguished doubles career in the professional<br />

ranks, winning several major tournaments and<br />

consistently being ranked in the Top 10 in the<br />

world in doubles. Johnson earned two Wimbledon<br />

doubles titles and a U.S. Davis Cup appearance<br />

before his retirement in 2003 from the<br />

professional ranks to become <strong>Carolina</strong>’s assistant<br />

tennis coach.<br />

A Stellar 1992 Season for the Tar Heels<br />

Jones and Thornqvist helped lead the 1992<br />

squad to remarkable success on the court.<br />

Thornqvist was named a first-team All-America<br />

in both singles and doubles, and Jones, a senior<br />

from Kings Mountain, N.C., took home All-America<br />

honors in singles as the 1992 Tar Heels set<br />

a school record for victories in a season during<br />

their 25-5 campaign. <strong>Carolina</strong> finished eighth in<br />

the final Intercollegiate Tennis Association poll<br />

and made the NCAA Tournament field for the<br />

first time since 1978, beating No. 8 TCU in the<br />

round of 16 before losing to third-seeded UCLA<br />

in the quarterfinals. <strong>Carolina</strong> also claimed both<br />

the ACC regular-season and tournament cham-<br />

Former UNC head coach Allen Morris is seen<br />

here at Wimbledon in 1956 where as an unseeded<br />

player he reached the quarterfinals.<br />

pionships in 1992.<br />

Jones was named ACC Player of the Year,<br />

Most Valuable Player of the ACC Tournament<br />

and Region II Senior Player of the Year in 1992,<br />

and he advanced to the second round of the<br />

NCAA Tournament. Thornqvist finished the season<br />

ranked seventh nationally in singles and he<br />

reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament<br />

in both singles and doubles, playing the<br />

latter with Chris Mumford, an All-America selection<br />

in his own right. Thornqvist also was honored<br />

with the Rafael Osuna Award given<br />

nationally for sportsmanship by the ITA.<br />

That seemed only a prelude to Thornqvist’s<br />

brilliant senior season. Finishing 36-6 in singles<br />

and 24-6 in doubles, the Swedish native was<br />

ranked fourth nationally in singles and 10th in<br />

doubles at the season’s end. Thornqvist captained<br />

the 1993 UNC team to a 17th-place ITA<br />

poll ranking and to the Final 16 of the NCAA<br />

Tournament, beating Harvard in the first round<br />

of the tournament before falling to eventual<br />

NCAA champion Southern California in the<br />

round of 16.<br />

Individually, Thornqvist won the Rafael<br />

Osuna Sportsmanship Award from the ITA for<br />

the second straight year, the first player in the<br />

history of college tennis to win the award more<br />

than once. He captured ACC titles at No. 1 singles<br />

and No. 1 doubles, was named to the All-<br />

ACC Team for the third straight year and was<br />

the ACC Player of the Year and the ITA Region<br />

II Senior Player of the Year.<br />

As a senior, Thornqvist won the ITA national<br />

indoor singles championship, beating Georgia’s<br />

Mike Sell in the finals at Minneapolis. He was<br />

also an NCAA Tournament singles quarterfinalist<br />

for the second straight season and he was<br />

named the MVP of both the H.E. Butt Championships<br />

and the Blue/Gray Championships.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>’s success has continued since<br />

Sam Paul took over for Allen Morris after the latter<br />

retired from coaching in 1993 to become athletic<br />

director at his alma mater, Presbyterian<br />

College.<br />

Paul, who had been an assistant for four<br />

seasons under Morris, has led the Tar Heels to<br />

NCAA Tournament bids in 1994, 1995, 1996,<br />

1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,<br />

2005, 2006 and 2007. <strong>Carolina</strong> reached NCAA<br />

regional finals in 1994, 1996, 2000, 2004 and<br />

2007 was one win short in each case from<br />

reaching the tournament’s Final 16. The school<br />

hosted an NCAA regional for the first time in<br />

school history in 2004 and received a program<br />

high No. 11 NCAA Tournament seed. In 2006,<br />

Bronson Van Wyck won three ACC singles<br />

championships from 1965-67.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> History<br />

UNC hosted an NCAA regional and earned a<br />

No.11 seed. The Tar Heels won the regional<br />

and earned a berth in the Sweet 16 for the first<br />

time since 1993. The 2007 season saw <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

host a regional tournament for the third<br />

time in four years. UNC’s No. 6 seed was the<br />

best in school history in the NCAA Tournament.<br />

Paul has tutored several All-America players<br />

at <strong>Carolina</strong>, including David Caldwell, Brint Morrow,<br />

Tripp Phillips, Nick Monroe, Raian Luchici<br />

and Brad Pomeroy. Caldwell and Phillips were<br />

both outstanding singles players and both advanced<br />

far into the NCAA Tournament several<br />

times. Phillips reached the quarterfinals of the<br />

NCAA Tournament in 2000 and later that year<br />

he was named the winner of the Patterson<br />

Medal as <strong>Carolina</strong>’s outstanding senior studentathlete.<br />

He was the first tennis player so named<br />

since Vic Seixas. Monroe, who Sam Paul acknowledges<br />

as one of the hardest-working players<br />

he ever coached, was an All-America in<br />

2004, captured the Patterson Medal and<br />

reached the NCAA quarterfinals in singles.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> has finished either first, second or<br />

third in the ACC standings in every year under<br />

Paul’s tutelage with the exceptions of 1999,<br />

2003, 2005 and 2006. The 2002 team, led by<br />

senior Marcio Petrone as tournament Most Valuable<br />

Player, won <strong>Carolina</strong>’s 25th ACC championship<br />

in school history. Duke has won the<br />

second most ACC championships in history with<br />

12.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> and the College Tennis Hall of Fame<br />

Six Tar Heel tennis greats are enshrined in<br />

the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame in Athens,<br />

Ga. Vic Seixas was inducted in 1984, Bitsy<br />

Grant in 1985, John Kenfield in 1986, Don<br />

Skakle in 1991, Allen Morris in 1993 and Freddie<br />

All-Americas<br />

Bitsy Grant and<br />

Wilmer Hines<br />

Vic Seixas<br />

George Sokol<br />

Freddie McNair<br />

Bitsy Grant, 1931<br />

When asked near the end of his tenure in 1955 to rate<br />

the best players at <strong>Carolina</strong> all-time, the veteran Tar<br />

Heel tennis coach John Kenfield chose Bitsy Grant to<br />

head up the list. Bryan “Bitsy” Grant came to <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

as a freshman in 1929 and was named an All-America<br />

in 1931. Ranked as high as No. 3 nationally in men’s<br />

singles during his post-<strong>Carolina</strong> career, Grant played<br />

on four U.S. Davis Cup teams and won three U.S. Tennis<br />

Association national clay court championships.<br />

Grant’s leadership helped the 1931 team finish undefeated<br />

and capture the Southern Conference title.<br />

Wilmer Hines, 1933<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>’s top player in 1933, Wilmer Hines won the<br />

Southern Conference singles title and combined with<br />

Lenoir Wright to win the doubles crown. He also was<br />

named an All-America that year. The Tar Heels, in fact,<br />

won the Southern Conference crown every year of<br />

Hines’ career at <strong>Carolina</strong>, never losing a match and<br />

tying only one for a combined overall record of 52-0-1.<br />

After leaving <strong>Carolina</strong>, Hines went on to win the Italian<br />

Open championship. A great all-around athlete, Hines<br />

also lettered in basketball three times and captained<br />

the 1933 UNC basketball squad.<br />

Vic Seixas, 1948<br />

Regarded by most as the greatest player in <strong>Carolina</strong>’s<br />

tennis history, Vic Seixas was also one of the outstanding<br />

players in American tennis history. Seixas was<br />

named an All-America in 1948 and went on to an impressive<br />

professional career. Seixas won the Wimbledon<br />

singles championship in 1953 and also won the<br />

U.S. Open championship in 1954. While at <strong>Carolina</strong>,<br />

Seixas, who played under the legendary coach John<br />

Kenfield from 1947-49, won the Southern Conference<br />

singles title in 1948 and finished as the runnerup in<br />

both 1947 and 1949. He teamed with Clark Taylor to<br />

capture the league doubles crown in 1949. In 1948, he<br />

entered the NCAA Tournament as the top seed and<br />

won five matches in the tournament before dropping<br />

the championship match to the No. 1 ranked player.<br />

That same year Seixas, who came to <strong>Carolina</strong> after<br />

four years of Army Air Force duty during World War II,<br />

was the seventh-ranked men’s singles player in the<br />

U.S. amateur ranks. By 1952, he had attained the No.<br />

1 singles ranking among American players. The 55<br />

Davis Cup singles matches that he played in were the<br />

most of any American player in history and his 75 U.S.<br />

Open men’s singles victories were a record that stood<br />

until broken by Jimmy Connors in 1985.<br />

George Sokol, 1963<br />

Named an All-America in singles as a junior in 1963,<br />

George Sokol had a distinguished tennis career at <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

He was the Tar Heels’ first dominant presence in<br />

the Atlantic Coast Conference. From 1954 to 1964, the<br />

ACC chose a sole singles champion before going to individual<br />

flight titles. Sokol won three of those titles, capturing<br />

the crowns in 1962, 1963 and 1964. Sokol also<br />

won an outright ACC doubles title in 1963, with partner<br />

Keith Stoneman.<br />

Freddie McNair, 1970-73<br />

The only <strong>Carolina</strong> player to win All-America honors in<br />

every one of his four years in Chapel Hill, Freddie Mc-<br />

Nair ranks as one of <strong>Carolina</strong>’s finest players ever.<br />

While at <strong>Carolina</strong>, McNair combined with Rich McKee<br />

to reach the NCAA doubles finals in 1973. In the Atlantic<br />

Coast Conference, he won three individual singles<br />

titles in 1970, 1971 and 1972 and three doubles<br />

titles, one with Joe Dorn in 1970 and two with McKee<br />

in 1971 and 1972. He went on to have a distinguished<br />

professional career, attaining the world’s No. 1 doubles<br />

ranking with teammate Sherwood Stewart in the late<br />

1970s.<br />

Rich McKee, 1972-1974<br />

A native of Charlotte, N.C., Rich McKee won much<br />

fame playing collegiate tennis, earning All-America<br />

honors as a sophomore, junior and senior. The son of<br />

teaching pro Dick McKee, who reached the finals at<br />

Wimbledon after a career at the University of Miami,<br />

McKee’s play improved with each year he spent at <strong>Carolina</strong>.<br />

He became known as much for his quiet on-thecourt<br />

manner as for his tennis talent. A team captain,<br />

McKee and doubles partner Freddie McNair reached<br />

the NCAA doubles finals in 1973, and the two won the<br />

1971 and 1972 Atlantic Coast Conference doubles titles.<br />

In singles, McKee won two ACC titles, at No. 4 in<br />

1971 and No. 3 in 1972.<br />

Billy Brock, 1976<br />

A Don Skakle protege, Billy Brock was a member of<br />

2008 UNC MEN’S TENNIS • PAGE 38<br />

four Atlantic Coast Conference championship teams at<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> and was an All-America in singles in 1976.<br />

Brock, known for his baby-faced appearance and slight<br />

build, was a powerhouse on the court and a member of<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> teams that lost only eight dual matches<br />

in his four-year career. He played on teams which<br />

compiled four undefeated seasons in the ACC. The Tar<br />

Heels finished as high at seventh in 1974 in the national<br />

polls. Brock won two ACC individual flight singles<br />

titles, taking the championship at No. 3 in 1974 and at<br />

No. 1 in 1975. He also took home a doubles title in<br />

1975 with partner Tommy Dixon. One of the Norfolk,<br />

Va., native’s greatest wins was a second-round 1974<br />

NCAA Tournament upset of 12th-seeded Steve Mott of<br />

UCLA. Down a set, Brock, who was only a freshman,<br />

went on to win nine straight games against the favored<br />

Bruin, and won the final two sets 6-0 and 6-1.<br />

Jeff Chambers, 1985<br />

The only <strong>Carolina</strong> player in history to receive an NCAA<br />

singles invitation each of his four years as a Tar Heel,<br />

Chambers competed in the NCAA Tournament in 1984,<br />

1985, 1986 and 1987. He was named an All-America in<br />

singles in 1985 after capturing the ACC individual flight<br />

championship at No. 2 singles and going 26-8 overall.<br />

Chambers also played in the NCAA Tournament in doubles<br />

three times, missing only during the 1986 season.<br />

The St. Petersburg, Fla. native was a three-time All-Atlantic<br />

Coast Conference selection. He enjoyed his highest<br />

national ranking in doubles with partner Wayne<br />

Hearn in 1985, as the pair reached the No. 24 spot in<br />

the ITA poll.<br />

Bryan Jones, 1992<br />

One of three <strong>Carolina</strong> players in history to be named<br />

the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament’s Most Valuable<br />

Player, Bryan Jones received that honor and many<br />

more in 1992 as the senior tri-captain led the Tar Heels<br />

to one of the school’s most successful seasons, a season<br />

in which <strong>Carolina</strong> set a school record for team wins<br />

as UNC finished 25-5. Jones also was named the ACC<br />

Player of the Year in 1992 and helped lead the team to<br />

the 1992 ACC Tournament Championship. It was the<br />

second ACC team championship for UNC during<br />

Jones’ tenure as <strong>Carolina</strong> also won the coveted trophy<br />

in 1990 when Jones was a sophomore. The Tar Heels<br />

finished the 1992 conference regular season undefeated<br />

at 8-0 and placed four players on the All-ACC<br />

team, including Jones, who also earned the honor in<br />

1990. The Kings Mountain, N.C., native was named an<br />

All-America selection in singles after finishing with a<br />

35-7 overall record. He was named the ITA Region II<br />

Volvo Tennis/Senior Player of the Year and reached the<br />

second round of the NCAA Tournament. Jones, who<br />

also won the flight No. 2 ACC singles title in 1992, was<br />

a member of a senior class that helped the Tar Heels<br />

reach the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament and<br />

finish eighth nationally in the ITA poll, the best finish for<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> since 1974. Over four years as a Tar Heel,<br />

Jones helped the team reach the championship match<br />

of the ACC Tournament each year.<br />

Chris Mumford, 1992<br />

A member of the 1992 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament<br />

championship team, Chris Mumford was one of<br />

three Tar Heels to be named All-America on that squad<br />

— the most of any <strong>Carolina</strong> team in history. Mumford<br />

had a spectacular season in 1992, capturing All-America<br />

honors in doubles with teammate Roland Thornqvist<br />

after completing a 15-7 season at the No. 1<br />

doubles position. The pair were quarterfinalists at the<br />

NCAA Championships and finished the season ranked<br />

14th in the ITA poll. Mumford garnered All-ACC honors<br />

in 1992, the second such honor in his career, as the<br />

Richmond, Va. native captured the flight No. 5 ACC singles<br />

title with a 7-1 conference record. Over his fouryear<br />

career, Mumford was a member of a senior class<br />

which helped lead the Tar Heels to an 81-29 overall<br />

record and a 24-4 record in the ACC. After being unranked<br />

as freshmen, that senior class led <strong>Carolina</strong> to<br />

national rankings of 24th in their sophomore year, 17th<br />

in their junior year and eighth in their senior year.<br />

Those seniors also led <strong>Carolina</strong> in 1990 to its first ACC<br />

crown since 1978. The 1992 team’s NCAA Tournament<br />

bid was also the first since 1978 for the Tar Heels as<br />

that squad went on to become quarterfinalists nationally<br />

and set a school record with 25 wins.<br />

Roland Thornqvist, 1992-1993<br />

One of the most accomplished tennis players ever to<br />

wear <strong>Carolina</strong> Blue, Roland Thornqvist was the No. 1<br />

singles and No. 1 doubles player at <strong>Carolina</strong> for three<br />

Daryl Wyatt<br />

Brint Morrow and<br />

David Caldwell<br />

straight years. The Farsta, Sweden native was named<br />

an All-America in both singles and doubles by the ITA<br />

in 1992 and 1993. His greatest accomplishment, however,<br />

was winning the Rafael Osuna Sportsmanship<br />

Award in both 1992 and 1993. He was the first player<br />

in the history of college tennis to win the prestigious<br />

honor twice. As a junior, he also won the Region II<br />

Arthur Ashe Jr./Head Sportsmanship Award. In 1993,<br />

he captured the singles title in the Rolex/ITA National<br />

Indoor Championships, one of the collegiate grand<br />

slam events; was named to the Rolex Collegiate All-<br />

Star Team; was the ITA Region II Senior Player of the<br />

Year and the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the<br />

Year. Thornqvist was the ACC champion at No. 1 singles<br />

in both his sophomore and senior years and he<br />

won the No. 1 doubles crown as a senior with Daryl<br />

Wyatt. A three-time All-ACC selection, Thornqvist cocaptained<br />

the Tar Heel team as a senior and qualified<br />

for the NCAA Tournament in singles three years and in<br />

doubles twice. He was a quarterfinalist in singles in<br />

both 1992 and 1993, and in doubles in 1992. After<br />

spending a year on the ATP Tour following graduation<br />

from <strong>Carolina</strong> in 1993, Thornqvist was an assistant<br />

coach for the Tar Heels in 1995 and 1996. He left the<br />

program to become the head women’s tennis coach<br />

at the University of Kansas, but returned to the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> tennis program in 1998 as the head coach of<br />

the women’s team for three seasons. He is currently<br />

the women’s coach at Florida where he has led the<br />

Gators to an NCAA championship.<br />

Daryl Wyatt, 1993<br />

Although he spent only one year as a member of the<br />

Tar Heel tennis team, Washington, D.C. native Daryl<br />

Wyatt made his time in a <strong>Carolina</strong> uniform count.<br />

Wyatt was superb in doubles with partner Roland<br />

Thornqvist when Wyatt was a freshman in 1993. The<br />

pair went undefeated in Atlantic Coast Conference<br />

play that season, going 8-0 against conference foes<br />

on a team that finished 24-6 overall. In the process<br />

Wyatt earned All-America honors from the ITA. Wyatt<br />

and Thornqvist also captured the ACC individual doubles<br />

title at the No. 1 position, and qualified for NCAA<br />

doubles competition, advancing to the second round.<br />

Wyatt was 32-11 overall in singles play and finished<br />

ACC singles competition at 6-2.<br />

David Caldwell, 1994-1995<br />

Two-time All-America David Caldwell left a legacy at<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> that will be difficult to match by future Tar<br />

Heels. The Richmond, Va. native came to UNC as one<br />

of the most decorated junior tennis stars in the country,<br />

having been ranked in the top five nationally. At <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>, he continued his winning ways, becoming<br />

the first Atlantic Coast Conference men’s tennis player<br />

in history to earn ACC Player of the Year honors three<br />

times, taking the award in 1994, 1995 and 1996. Caldwell<br />

was named an ITA All-America in singles as both<br />

a sophomore and a junior and was a doubles All-<br />

America with partner Brint Morrow as a junior. Caldwell<br />

was 16-0 in ACC singles play as a junior and senior<br />

and is the only player to ever win three individual ACC<br />

flight titles at No. 1 singles. He won the 1995 Rafael<br />

Osuna Sportsmanship Award and was the Region II<br />

Head/Arthur Ashe Jr. Sportsmanship Award recipient.<br />

The 1996 Region II Men’s Tennis Player of the Year,<br />

1995 and 1996 and was an NCAA quarterfinalist in<br />

1995. A three-time All-ACC selection, he compiled a<br />

116-41 (.737) record over his four years as a Tar Heel<br />

and finished his ACC career with a 32-5 (.865) record<br />

in singles and a 27-10 (.730) record in doubles. Caldwell,<br />

a 1996 <strong>Carolina</strong> graduate, was both the 1993 Region<br />

II ITA Rookie Player of the Year and the 1994<br />

Penn/ITA National Player to Watch.<br />

Brint Morrow, 1995<br />

A consistently strong performer for the Tar Heels over<br />

his four years in Chapel Hill, Brint Morrow was named<br />

All-America in doubles in 1995 with partner David<br />

Caldwell, the tandem having gone 26-10 over the season<br />

while receiving an NCAA doubles invitation. A<br />

1996 <strong>Carolina</strong> graduate whose father played tennis at<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> in the 1960s, Morrow was a three-time All-Atlantic<br />

Coast Conference selection. He won three individual<br />

ACC singles flight championships and one<br />

doubles championship. Morrow captured the flight No.<br />

3 doubles title with Caldwell and the flight No. 5 singles<br />

crown in 1993 as a freshman, the flight No. 2 singles<br />

title as a sophomore, and he went undefeated in conference<br />

play in 1995 to win the flight No. 3 singles title<br />

as a senior. He also was the recipient of the 1995<br />

Blue/Gray Classic Sportsmanship Award after competing<br />

in that prestigious tournament in Montgomery, Ala.<br />

Tripp Phillips, 2000<br />

An intense competitor and valued team leader, Tripp<br />

Phillips of Charlotte, N.C. earned All-America status<br />

his senior season. After returning from a medical redshirt<br />

campaign, Phillips had an outstanding senior season,<br />

posting a stellar 25-6 singles record at the No.1<br />

singles position. Phillips collected impressive victories<br />

over nationally No.1-ranked Daniel Anderson and No.<br />

3-rated Shuon Madden that season. Phillips’ capable<br />

leadership carried the Tar Heels to a second place<br />

ACC finish and a No. 16 national ranking. Phillips’<br />

dominating 12-2 record against ACC competetion<br />

earned him runnerup honors at No. 1 singles. However,<br />

Phillips saved his best performance of the year<br />

for last as he advanced to the quarterfinals of the<br />

NCAA Championships in singles. Phillips’ performance<br />

elevated him in the ITA rankings as he finished<br />

2000 ranked No. 12 nationally in singles. Phillips’ career<br />

and character were honored as he received the<br />

prestigious Patterson Medal and the John Van Nostrand<br />

Award. He and UNC soccer player Lorrie Fair<br />

won the 2000 Patterson Medals. He was the first tennis<br />

player so honored since Vic Seixas in 1950.<br />

Nick Monroe, 2004<br />

A native of Olathe, Kan., Nick Monroe received All-<br />

America honors from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association<br />

in 2004, the first UNC All-America in four years.<br />

Monroe won the Patterson Medal in 2004 as UNC’s<br />

outstanding senior men’s student-athlete and he<br />

reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament in<br />

singles as a senior. A three-time All-ACC selection,<br />

Monroe finished his UNC singles career with 100 wins,<br />

the second most in Tar Heel history behind David<br />

Caldwell’s 116 wins. As a senior Monroe won the Jon<br />

Van Nostrand Award from the ITA, receiving a grant to<br />

pursue his professional tennis career. He had his best<br />

season as a senior when he finished No. 21 in the ITA<br />

singles and No. 17 in the ITA doubles rankings. Monroe<br />

was the captain of the 2004 Tar Heel team. He<br />

played on four Tar Heel teams which played in the<br />

NCAA Tournament and he was a standout on UNC’s<br />

2002 ACC championship squad.<br />

Raian Luchici, 2006<br />

A transfer student from the University of Georgia,<br />

Raian Luchici, a native of Timisoara, Romania, joined<br />

the Tar Heel squad in 2004 as a sophomore. Luchici<br />

earned first-team All-America honors his senior season<br />

as a both a singles and doubles competitor with<br />

fellow senior Brad Pomeroy. He posted a stellar 25-10<br />

overall singles campaign and a 20-6 record at the No.<br />

1 spot in the lineup. The Tar Heel tandem of Luchici<br />

and Pomeroy opened the spring season ranked first<br />

in the country. They posted a domineering 26-12 doubles<br />

record, 16-8 in dual match play. Luchici finished<br />

the season nationally ranked 15th in singles and sixth<br />

in the country as a doubles tandem with Pomeroy.<br />

Luchici is the first player since 1995 to be honored as<br />

a first-team All-America in both singles and doubles in<br />

the same season since David Caldwell. He was<br />

named the Farnsworth/ Intercollegiate Tennis Association<br />

National Senior Player of the Year at the conclusion<br />

of his senior campaign in 2006; the first recipient<br />

in <strong>Carolina</strong> history. With Pomeroy, the duo was the first<br />

in <strong>Carolina</strong> history since 1973 to compete in the championship<br />

match of a collegiate grand slam event when<br />

they advanced to the finals of the Polo Ralph Lauren<br />

All-American Championships.<br />

Brad Pomeroy, 2006<br />

A native of Asheville, N.C., Brad Pomeroy was honored<br />

as a first-team All-America in doubles following<br />

the conclusion of his senior campaign in 2006.<br />

Pomeroy teamed with fellow standout senior Raian<br />

Luchici to post a dominating 26-12 doubles record, a<br />

16-8 dual meet record and an outstanding 10-4 doubles<br />

Tar Heel Testimonials<br />

Q & A with former UNC players<br />

on the pro tour<br />

How do you feel playing for UNC and<br />

Coach Paul has helped your chances of<br />

playing professional tennis?<br />

Raian Luchici: "My thoughts and goals<br />

when I was 16 were to not go to school and<br />

to turn pro out of high school. I knew,<br />

though, that I needed to get faster, stronger,<br />

smarter on the court, and more mature in<br />

my game. In choosing <strong>Carolina</strong> and in<br />

working with Coach Paul, I felt that all of<br />

those factors became a reality. Now I feel<br />

that I am ready to be a professional tennis<br />

player."<br />

Nick Monroe: “Coach Paul is an amazing<br />

coach who will do everything in his power<br />

to help his players become the best tennis<br />

players and best individuals they can be.<br />

He is definitely the major reason why the<br />

players from UNC who are now playing on<br />

the tour, like myself, choose to train in<br />

Chapel Hill with him and the team. It just<br />

speaks volumes for how much they trust<br />

what they have learned in college. Not only<br />

do you have a great head coach in Sam<br />

Paul, but with Tripp Phillips as the assistant<br />

coach, this has to be the best coaching<br />

staff in the country. Tripp has been one of<br />

the older guys<br />

who always<br />

helped me<br />

along the way,<br />

and I have<br />

gained so<br />

much knowledge<br />

from<br />

him. No matter<br />

what your<br />

game entails,<br />

he can spot<br />

what you<br />

need, and will<br />

levels on tour, it is<br />

Tripp Phillips: “I feel<br />

like there is no way I<br />

could have gone onto<br />

professional career<br />

without the time I<br />

spent at UNC. First,<br />

Coach Paul is amazing.<br />

He has been putting<br />

and getting to pick those guys brains and<br />

my experience as a player, I have never


Q & A with Sam Paul<br />

What are the foundations of the great success<br />

your UNC teams have had?<br />

I believe, first and foremost, that you have to<br />

make a commitment to your players. I think<br />

if you are making sure that each kid really is<br />

on the right path to reaching his potential, all<br />

of your team goals will fall into place. Second,<br />

over the years I have established a system<br />

of training and development here at<br />

UNC. It has proven to be cyclical as well.<br />

With so many of our players doing so well in<br />

the pros, it has put us in the pretty unique position<br />

of having access to the highest level of<br />

tennis in the world. In seeing how the top<br />

players in the world train, it has helped us to<br />

tweak our own system over the years to stay<br />

up to date on what is happening at the highest<br />

levels. At UNC, we train like the pros,<br />

which means always developing games for<br />

the next level. Lastly, we work very hard to<br />

have a family like atmosphere. I think that is<br />

so important not only to the team experience<br />

our kids have, but also a driving force on why<br />

everyone involved with our program is so<br />

anxious to give back. I feel very fortunate<br />

and honored that so many Tar Heel pros stay<br />

so involved with the program and are helping<br />

to make sure the younger guys also have<br />

success in the professional ranks.<br />

seen a college program where the players<br />

feel so strongly and attribute so much of<br />

their success to their college program and<br />

college coach. For any aspiring junior tennis<br />

player with dreams of playing professionally,<br />

I believe UNC is the best program<br />

in the country.”<br />

Q- “What makes the <strong>Carolina</strong> experience<br />

so special?”<br />

Nick Monroe: “The minute I stepped foot<br />

at the tennis center, walked around the<br />

campus, and interacted with students, I immediately<br />

felt as if I was already part of the<br />

How much of an advantage is it having an<br />

Assistant Coach like Tripp Phillips?<br />

Well, you just canʼt put a price tag on it. He<br />

is still doing everything between where our<br />

guys are now and anywhere they hope to go<br />

in their tennis careers. That allows him to relate<br />

to the guys in ways that other people just<br />

canʼt. He has played the best players in the<br />

world on the biggest stages in the world. It is<br />

so easy for him to watch our guys and tell<br />

them what they arenʼt doing well enough or<br />

where they need to improve if they want to<br />

have a chance to play on Tour. Tripp is the<br />

smartest player I have ever coached. The<br />

way he sees the court is amazing, and he is<br />

a student of the game. For a student athlete<br />

with aspirations of playing professional tennis,<br />

having access to a guy like Tripp is a<br />

very unique and invaluable opportunity to our<br />

student athletes.<br />

What is the most rewarding part of your<br />

job?<br />

Again, it is the commitment you make to your<br />

players and the relationships that come with<br />

it. It is very rewarding helping these guys be<br />

the best they can be. I love the fact that virtually<br />

all of our players stay so close to the<br />

program and that being a part of that experience<br />

is something that doesnʼt end when<br />

they graduate.<br />

UNC family. Without a doubt, I feel that the<br />

UNC tennis team has the best team unity<br />

in the country, and the loyalty the guys feel<br />

toward the program is a big reason why<br />

those of us who play pro are so anxious to<br />

give back to the younger guys.”<br />

Brad Pomeroy: “I’ve never seen or heard<br />

of a program whose players feel the loyalty<br />

that a UNC player has towards their program.<br />

The environment and culture that<br />

Coach Paul has established here is unparalleled.<br />

The<br />

team is so<br />

close and I<br />

know that in a<br />

Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center<br />

In keeping with the University of <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>’s tradition of offering quality facilities<br />

for its student-athletes, the University<br />

dedicated an indoor/outdoor tennis facility<br />

adjacent to the Friday Center on N.C.<br />

Highway 54 in Chapel Hill in September<br />

1992.<br />

The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center, which<br />

took four years to come to fruition, was the<br />

crowning jewel in a decade-long campaign<br />

to improve the athletic facilities at the University.<br />

The tennis center, located on Don<br />

Skakle Drive, was dedicated September<br />

12, 1992, with a crowd of more than 1,000<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> tennis and athletic enthusiasts in<br />

attendance. Paul Hardin, chancellor of the<br />

University, and athletic director John Swofford<br />

officially dedicated the structure and<br />

officially named the facility that now serves<br />

as the home of the Tar Heels’ men’s and<br />

women’s tennis programs.<br />

The facility honors Ceasar Cone II, a<br />

1928 alumnus of the University who<br />

played tennis at <strong>Carolina</strong> and was a great<br />

benefactor of the school throughout his<br />

life. Cone went on to found Cone Mills in<br />

Greensboro, N.C., one of the most successful<br />

textile manufacturing entities in the<br />

South. The center also bears the name of<br />

John Kenfield, the legendary Tar Heel tennis<br />

coach who compiled a sterling record<br />

of 434-30-2 in dual-match play from 1928-<br />

55. Kenfield’s teams won 15 Southern<br />

Conference championships and two Atlantic<br />

Coast Conference team championships<br />

during his tenure. He coached the<br />

likes of Bitsy Grant, Wilmer Hines and Vic<br />

Seixas at UNC and his 1948 team finished<br />

third in the nation. Kenfield was <strong>Carolina</strong>’s<br />

first-ever full-time tennis coach, and he<br />

took over the reins of the UNC team in<br />

time to coach Ceasar Cone II in his senior<br />

season in 1928.<br />

Fund-raising on the Cone-Kenfield Tennis<br />

Center was completed in early 1991<br />

and construction on the facility began in<br />

the spring of that year.<br />

Bill Moore of Raleigh, N.C., chaired the<br />

fund-raising committee that helped bring<br />

the facility to fruition. Other members of<br />

the Tennis Fundraising Committee were<br />

• Indoor area of approximately 47,500<br />

square feet<br />

• Air conditioning for the indoor area<br />

• Halide lighting on all courts<br />

• Indirect lighting on the indoor courts<br />

UNC added a new outdoor scoreboard<br />

to the facility prior to the 2004 campaign.<br />

It is located at the sites of courts No. 1, 2<br />

and 3.<br />

The first exhibition matches were played<br />

at the dedication ceremonies, prior to the<br />

UNC-Furman football game. Since then,<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong>’s men’s tennis squad has hosted<br />

at least one tournament each fall in addition<br />

to the spring dual match schedule.<br />

Beginning in November 1992, the Tar<br />

Heels were named the host institution for<br />

the ITA Mideast Region Indoor Singles and<br />

Doubles Championships, which features<br />

the top men’s singles and doubles players<br />

from the Mideast Region. Winners of the<br />

Mideast Region Championships advance<br />

to the ITA national indoor tournaments<br />

each year. <strong>Carolina</strong> hosted that tournament<br />

every year from 1992 through 2006.<br />

The Tar Heels have hosted NCAA regional<br />

tournaments at the Cone-Kenfield<br />

Tennis Center in three of the past four<br />

years — 2004, 2006 and 2007.

Student-Athlete Services<br />

Advancing toward graduation,<br />

Building Character and<br />

Developing leadership<br />

Student-Athlete Services at<br />

the University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

encompasses three<br />

areas that play an integral part<br />

in the collegiate experience of<br />

every UNC student-athlete.<br />

Those three areas are Academic<br />

Development, Student-<br />

Athlete Development and<br />

Leadership Development.<br />

• ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT<br />

team<br />

The Academic Support Program is the main<br />

service utilized in advancing UNC student-athletes<br />

to graduation. The program assists student-athletes<br />

in exploring their interests and<br />

abilities, enjoying a broad educational experience,<br />

and reaching or exceeding their academic<br />

goals. "Our young people are students first and<br />

athletes second and that will always be the case<br />

at the University," says UNC Director of Athletics<br />

Dick Baddour. "That is a credit to our coaches,<br />

administrators and support staff, but most of all,<br />

our student-athletes. Their accomplishments in<br />

the classroom are very impressive."<br />

During the 2006-07 academic year, 279 <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

student-athletes made the ACC Academic<br />

Honor Roll, which requires a cumulative GPA of<br />

at least 3.0 for the year. In the fall of 2006, 178<br />

student-athletes made the Dean's List, and 151<br />

did so in the spring of 2007.<br />

The Academic Support Program is housed primarily<br />

in the Pope Academic Support Center,<br />

which is equipped with study facilities, tutorial<br />

rooms, a computer lab, a 128-seat auditorium,<br />

counselors' offices, and state-of-the-art video<br />

and computer equipment. At the center, students<br />

meet with staff to discuss course selection, major<br />

As a Morehead Scholar at UNC, Tristan Heinrich (left) traveled with fellow<br />

Morehead Scholar and UNC lacrosse player Fletcher Gregory (right) to<br />

Ecuador in the summer of 2005. The two Tar Heel athletes taught rural<br />

children geography and English as part of their responsibilities.<br />

and career exploration,<br />

academic progress and<br />

academic eligibility.<br />

The Academic Support<br />

Program helps freshmen<br />

transition from high<br />

school to college through<br />

a variety of academic programs<br />

such as academic<br />

counseling, individual tutoring,<br />

group review sessions<br />

and supplemental<br />

instruction. A member of<br />

each team serves as the<br />

Academic Team Captain,<br />

providing a strong link be-<br />

tween the Academic Support Program and the<br />

other student-athletes on the squad. The Academic<br />

Team Captain for men’s tennis for 2007-<br />

08 is Benjamin Carlotti.<br />

• STUDENT-ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT<br />

Building character in UNC student-athletes is<br />

the main charge of Student-Athlete Development.<br />

Through <strong>Carolina</strong> Outreach, Tar Heels are involved<br />

in a variety of projects and organizations<br />

on campus and in the community. The UNC Department<br />

of Athletics has partnered with<br />

Gatorade and the UNC School of Public Health<br />

for a national pilot program called Get Kids in Action,<br />

in which Tar Heel student-athletes visit local<br />

elementary schools to encourage children to exercise.<br />

The <strong>Carolina</strong> Dreams program allows<br />

young patients at UNC Children’s Hospitals to attend<br />

Tar Heel sporting events with UNC studentathletes.<br />

Other recent activities have included<br />

building a house with Habitat for Humanity, cooking<br />

meals at Ronald McDonald House and cleaning<br />

up the roadways through the<br />

Adopt-a-Highway program.<br />

Student-Athlete Development also seeks to<br />

develop student-athletes on a personal level<br />

through a variety of speakers who address issues<br />

like nutrition, gambling, relationship communication<br />

and substance use. Career<br />

Development helps UNC student-athletes look<br />

beyond college with resources such as career<br />

counseling and workshops on resume writing<br />

and interviewing skills.<br />

• LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT<br />

The primary outlet for Leadership Development<br />

is the <strong>Carolina</strong> Leadership Academy,<br />

started at UNC in 2004. As the nation's premier<br />

leadership development<br />

program in collegiate athletics,<br />

the <strong>Carolina</strong> Leadership<br />

Academy<br />

develops, challenges and<br />

supports student-athletes,<br />

coaches and staff<br />

in their continual quest to<br />

become world class leaders<br />

in athletics, academics<br />

and life. The<br />

Academy consists of<br />

three programs:<br />

CREED Program<br />

Leadership training begins<br />

in the freshman year.<br />

All leadership begins with<br />

personal leadership,<br />

therefore freshmen are<br />

taught skills to effectively<br />

lead themselves.<br />

Training consists of monthly meetings featuring<br />

keynote speakers and small group discussion.<br />

Upperclass student-athletes serve as peer mentors<br />

and discussion leaders. Special focus is on<br />

responsibility, accountability, making good<br />

choices, ethics and character building.<br />

Rising Stars Program<br />

Designed for a select group of "high potential"<br />

sophomores and juniors, the program provides<br />

future leaders with insights, strategies and skills<br />

necessary to become effective leaders. The program<br />

includes monthly meetings, interactive exercises<br />

and action learning experiences.<br />

Veteran Leaders Program<br />

This program is designed for team captains


The 2003-04 Tar Heel men’s tennis team participated in a community<br />

service project in which UNC student-athletes assisted in the building of<br />

a Habitat For Humanity house in the greater Chapel Hill community.<br />

and veteran student-athletes. It provides advanced<br />

leadership training and support, teaches<br />

the critical skills and insights necessary to be effective<br />

vocal leaders and provides a strong peer<br />

network. Student-athletes meet regularly to learn<br />

and reinforce leadership principles and share<br />

successes, frustrations and lessons.<br />

<strong>Carolina</strong> CREED<br />

As a University of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Carolina</strong> student-athlete,<br />

I pledge to make every effort to abide by the <strong>Carolina</strong><br />

CREED as a show of my commitment to<br />

the University, the Department of Athletics, my<br />

team and myself.<br />

C - I will know and embrace the tradition and culture<br />

of this great University and its athletics department<br />

R - I will respect myself and others<br />

E - I will pursue excellence in my academic work<br />

by striving to reach my academic potential while<br />

preparing for a career of significance<br />

E - I will excel athletically by committing myself to<br />

improvement<br />

D - I will develop the capacity to effectively lead<br />

myself and others<br />

Senior Tristan Heinrich receives congratulations from UNC Chancellor James Moeser after winning the<br />

Athletic Director’s Scholar-Athlete Award for men’s tennis in back-to-back school years, 2006-07 and<br />

2007-08. Heinrich is a senior double majoring in economics and political science.<br />

Student-Athlete Services<br />

• STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING<br />

Under the direction of the UNC Olympic sports strength<br />

and conditioning staff, Tar Heel student-athletes get outstanding<br />

coaching intended to help maximize their physical<br />

potential. The staff evaluates <strong>Carolina</strong> student-athletes in a<br />

variety of ways, including the use of specialized software for<br />

lifting and running and video analysis to encourage steady<br />

progress toward reaching optimum preparation for competition.<br />

The men’s tennis team trains at the Olympic sports weight<br />

room in Kenan Field House. In addition to top-of-the-line<br />

strength equipment, the Kenan-based center boasts a five-<br />

Greg Gatz<br />

lane, 25-yard rubberized surface for teaching and performing<br />

warm-up activities, acceleration drills and agility movements.<br />

Year-round training produces athletes who are prepared to compete successfully<br />

and safely.<br />

Greg Gatz is the Director of Strength and Conditioning for Olympic Sports and<br />

oversees the program. He is assisted by Steve Gisselman.<br />

• SPORTS MEDICINE<br />

The Tar Heels receive excellent care<br />

from one of the country’s best sports<br />

medicine staffs.<br />

Dr. Tim Taft, Director of Sports Medicine,<br />
