This commitment is evident in the changes instituted directly for the Blue Devil tennis teams. Duke Athletic Director Kevin White continues to lead the way in providing Duke with top facilities to help student-athletes stay in peak condition. Originally completed in the summer of 1987, the Duke Tennis Stadium was renovated into the Ambler Tennis Stadium. The facility was funded by Mer- rill Ambler and features seat-backs for fan seating, a scoreboard, new court surfaces and restrooms. In addition to the fine outdoor courts, the Duke athletic department com- pleted the Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center in the winter of 2000.
