Green Bay Athletic Director Mary Ellen Gillespie announced the hiring of Tim Dean as the new men’s and women’s head coach. Dean, who is a 2011 St. Scholastica graduate, replaces Daniel Bickett who left after one season to take a volunteer assistant position at Wisconsin. Dean doesn’t have any collegiate head coaching experience though he was recently the Head Tennis Pro at Oneida Country Club in Green Bay.
The United State Tennis Association (USTA) announced that it will be increasing its support of college tennis through wild cards into pro tournaments along with basing its MatchDay series at the USTA National Campus in Orlando. Stephen Amritraj (Duke ’06) will take over as the Director of Collegiate Tennis for the USTA – you can read the full release here.
USA Today had an article today that said the US Open will run an experiment with a shot clock during the American Collegiate Classic next week in an attempt to speed up the game. The umpire will start the clock after registering the score and if the player isn’t ready for the next point in time they’ll have the discretion to issue a penalty.
Friday was the end of the road at the US Open for John Isner, Kevin Anderson, and CiCi Bellis. Isner was upset in four sets by No. 84 Kyle Edmund while Anderson and Bellis both went out in straight sets.
Below are all the results thus far for any players with college ties.
