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. Named after Karl and Alice Sheffield, the facility features six courts, offices for the coach- es, a hall of fame room and locker rooms. It was awarded the 2000 United States Tennis Association Outstanding Tennis Facility on Feb. 25, 2001. The Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center is only the third tennis center in North Caro- lina to receive the award since it began in 1981. The modern training room provides all of the equipment and services nec- essary to keep the Duke men’s and women’s tennis teams healthy and in action. The trainer’s office is off the main training area, allowing the players convenient access to this care. The weight room is another extensive area, directed by strength coordinator Dan Perlmutter. The 3,300 square-foot weight room has over three tons of free weights along with Nautilus, Hydra-Gym and Universal stations. In 2008 the completion of the Michael W.
