Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S
Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California wins third national title in a row; Nguyen clinches championship with thrilling three-set victory: Daniel Nguyen made a shot to earn a break point, fl ipped off his hat, started taking off his shirt and then danced around the court until his Southern California teammates could reach him and pile on. Nguyen downed Sanam Singh, 7-5, 0-6, 6-4, to give Southern California a 4-3 victory against Virginia for the Trojans’ third consecutive NCAA men’s tennis title May 24. They became the fi rst three-time defending champions since Stanford won four in a row from 1995 to 1998. “I remember watching Prakash Amritraj take off his shirt when we won the 2002 title,” Nguyen said. “I thought about doing it and then thought, ‘nah, let’s not do it.’” Seconds later he was tackled to the ground amid a wave of Trojans. “It was an incredible match,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “It all came down to the last match. How many teams win three in a row? These boys did it. This coaching staff did it.” Nguyen’s fi nal game featured a solid return game. He dived to save one shot and ended up getting the point. That led to the chip shot from the net that landed a few yards from Singh. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” Nguyen said. “It was unbelievably loud and it was hard to focus. I just seized the moment and took advantage.” Of his second point in the last game, he said: “I just saw the ball and ran as fast as I could and dove for it. -

Tennis DIVISION I Men’S
Tennis DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Southern California Wins Second Straight National Title: Daniel Nguyen didn’t want to part with the national championship trophy, coddling it like a baby on his way to do post-match interviews. “I think I’m going to sleep with it tonight,” he joked. “No, but it’s definitely great to hold this trophy.” It should be. Nguyen did his part, clinching Southern California’s second consecutive Division I men’s tennis national title at No. 4 singles as the Trojans defeated Tennessee, 4-2, on May 25 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex. Nguyen defeated Tennessee’s Tennys Sandgren 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-0 to help fifth-seeded Southern California (26-3) rally from a doubles loss for its sixth NCAA title. The Trojans defeated Ohio State 4-1 last year in College Station, Texas, adding to their titles from 1991, ‘93, ‘94 and 2002. “When you win like this, it’s a testament to great players,” Southern California coach Peter Smith said. “These guys were great out there. They showed their versatility. They showed their complete games, and most importantly, they showed their heart and guts to come from behind and win it.” Tennessee (31-2) has never won an NCAA title, also losing in the final in 1990 and 2001, but the Volunteers entered the night of the championship as the second seed and riding a 21-match winning streak. They struck quickly, winning the doubles, but then fell behind in singles and couldn’t catch the Trojans. “As a team, we’re very united and we care a lot for each other,” Tennessee’s Rhyne Williams said. -
2016 USTA New England Hall of Famers
Fall • 2016 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN 2016 USTA New England Hall of Famers Jill Craybas Jill Craybas grew up just 20 miles away from Newport and now she’s back as a six-time WTA champion and member of the USTA New England Hall of Fame. As a junior, Jill attained a No. 1 New England ranking in the Girls 18s division and climbed to a high of 4 nationally. She continued to shine in college, winning national championships with both the University of Florida and the University of Texas, twice earning All-America honors. Craybas turned pro in 1996 and was a mainstay on the WTA tour. She competed in 45 straight Grand Slams and maintained a top- 100 ranking for 10 consecutive seasons. Her highest singles ranking was No. 39 and doubles, No. 41. Craybas also had the unique opportunity to represent her country as she was selected to the 2008 U.S. Olympic team and was a member of the Fed Cup team for five years. Wade Frame A competitive tournament player for the past 26 years, Wade Frame has achieved No. 1 New England rankings 19 times between singles and doubles. In 2014, he climbed as high as No. 19 nationally in 55 Singles and No. 5 in 55 Doubles with partner Chris Holmes. Despite his success though, he has never let tennis get in the way of family time. He’s always maintained a steady balance, and contributing to that is his competitive play with both his son Warren and daughter Alissa. -

Andy Murray Articles 2004-2006
ANDY MURRAY ARTICLES 2004-2006 2004 Scots tennis 'courting disaster' Despite helping to produce world-class young players Scotland’s top tennis trainer has quit in disgust, writes Tom Lynch Published: 8 August 2004 There’s a wistful note to coach Murray’s voice when she recalls the moment. A hint of pride too. “I couldn’t believe that the kids I started off with when they were eight or nine were in the biggest tournament in the world.” Now, as a summer fog descends on her Dunblane home, Murray’s mood has changed. All the optimism has been replaced by frustration. Last week she resigned from her post at Tennis Scotland, disgusted at the lack of backing from the country’s sports administrators and its politicians and fearing that youngsters who have the talent to win top titles could be forced to leave the game. She is not alone in her thinking. According to Murray, three of the four tennis development staff in Scotland have quit this year, allegedly fed up with their puny resources. Next to go, Murray fears, will be the country’s outstanding crop of young players, forced out of the game because there is simply not the money to help them break through into the big time, to compete alongside the Tim Henmans and Greg Rusedskis for the top honours. The tragic thing is, she says, is that she and her colleagues have produced tremendous talents “against all the odds”. For, while the Scottish executive plans to spend £30m on football to make it competitive again on the world stage, funding for tennis has been slashed by 60%. -
