2009 Arkansas Men’s Tennis Media Guide 3 RAZORBACK TENNIS FACILITIES George M. Billingsley Tennis Center and Dills Indoor Stadium The inside cover features the George M. Billingsley Tennis Center, the home of 10 plexi-paved outdoor courts and the site of the 2008 Men’s Tennis SEC Championships. The former Varsity Courts were rennovated into the Billingsley Tennis Center in 2008. The ren- novations include a player lounge, a plaza entry, a scoreboard for the main courts, skyboxes overlooking the indoor and outdoor courts and elevated stadium seating for the outdoor courts. Unlike many other programs acround the country, Ar- kansas’ tennis team takes advantage of facilities which give the Razorbacks an opportunity to play and practice 365 days a year, regardless of the weather. The University of Arkansas’ Dills Indoor Stadium was originally constructed in 1982, but it was extensively renovated in 2001, giving the Ra- zorbacks one of the ﬁ nest indoor facilities in the nation. The stadium was re- named and dedicated on April 30, 2002, in honor of Jane Dills Morgan and Nancy Dills Lee, along with

Ewell Lee, who made a sizeable dona- tion in the name of Robert “Bob” and Lucile Dills. They were early and long-time supporters of the Razor- back program. The stadium originally included just four courts, but the renovations upped that number to six. Other improvements included a new ceil- ing and insulation system, 96 new lamps, resurfacing of all the courts and six electronic scoreboards. The Dills Indoor Stadium is currently undergoing further expansion for coaches ofﬁ ces, player locker rooms and training rooms.

The addition of Matt Hogan last January gives Head coach Robert Cox believes the growth of his the Razorbacks a solid No. 2 player behind Strode. returning players and the addition of a promising Hogan is ranked No. 39 in the nation and No. 4 freshman will lead the Hogs to success this year. in the central region going into his second dual season with the Razorbacks and beat No. 81 Maor Zirkin of Drake to reach the fi nals of the Wilson/ ITA Central Region Championships in the fall, qualifying him for the ITA National Indoor Cham- pionships, held in November. “Matt is going to be the help we need at the top of the lineup behind Blake,” Cox said. “This will be his second time through the dual match season so he knows what it’s all about. He’s feeling confi dent about his game and his role on the team, which is important for his performance.” The remaining lineup spots will be fi lled by a strong contingent of new and veteran players, each of whom can have an impact on the Razorbacks’ season. Sophomore Chris Nott, has already shown improvement over the last year when he won a team high 25 matches. “Chris has showed us he can play awesome tennis,” Cox said. “Recently, we’ve seen him play at a different level we hadn’t seen from him before. It’s very promising.” Juniors Dmitry Lebedev and Bradwin Williams Senior Blake Strode, Arkansas’ top player and are expected to see their share of playing time as projected No. 1, is ranked No. 15 nationally and well. No. 3 regionally in singles entering the 2009 spring “Dmitry has to be an anchor at the bottom half season and is the foundation for a solid lineup. of the lineup,” Cox said. “He’s going to win a lot of Strode posted wins over three top 40 players in the fall of 2008, including a straight sets victory over No. 6 Arnau Brugues of Tulsa at the D’Novo All-American Cham- pionships in October. Strode advanced to the quarterfi nals of the prestigious event, automatically qualifying for the year-end ITA Indoor Champi- onships. “We’re expecting Blake to perform like he did in his sophomore season when he went 7-4 in his SEC matches and 27-11 overall,” Cox said. 8 2009 Arkansas Men’s Tennis Media Guide 2009 OUTLOOK Tarnasky, Connor Smith and Nick Spinazze, all of whom will be called on to contribute this year. “We’ve changed Tyler’s game to be more ag- gressive and he’s taken to it very well,” Cox said. “Whenever I put Connor out on the court, I know I’ll get 100 percent from him. Nick understands his game more this season and knows what he needs to improve on to be successful at the collegiate level.” Freshman Matt Walters was ranked as high as No. 5 in the South Region during his high school playing career. Focusing on transitioning from junior tennis to collegiate tennis, Walters is a strong addition to Arkansas men’s tennis. “Matt started off great in the fall season,” Cox said. “He’s lived up to his billing so far. Matt has that intangible, that Hog spirit that will help him in his career.” In doubles, the Hogs anticipate improvement over their 53-56 record last year. Hogan and Strode, ranked No. 14 nationally and No. 3 regionally, will take the No. 1 position, having racked up fall victories over No. 32 Attila Bucko and Jordan Rux of Baylor and No. 45 Chris Chirico and Wil Spen- cer from Texas A&M. Nott and King are scheduled to play on the second court and the No. 3 team is listed as Tarnasky and Williams. “Doubles is going to be much stronger this year,” Cox said. “Matt and Blake have already matches for us this year. Bradwin just needs to use shown, in the fall, how strong they are as a team his on-court tools more effi ciently and he will be and they’re going to continue to get better.
