INTRO


Jeff Brown has been a part of LSU tennis for almost half his life, playing a major role in nearly all of the most successful teams in the program’s history. Now entering into his 19th season as the Tigers’ head coach, Brown has done more than just maintain the standards of excellence that have characterized LSU tennis since his days as a player here. He has raised the bar substantially.

Brown took the reins of the program in 1998 after serving as an assistant to Jerry Simmons for three seasons. He was an All-American doubles player for LSU in 1988 and spent five years on the professional circuit.

Brown led the Tigers to back-to-back SEC Championships in 1998 and 1999, becoming the first person in league history to do so in his first two seasons as head coach. The Tigers also won the SEC Tournament both years.

He has since proven those feats were more than just beginner’s luck. Brown quickly earned respect among his peers due to his lengthy list of achievements. Brown has taken his teams to the NCAA Tournament in 17 out of 19 years, and earned Louisiana Coach of the Year honors in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2013. He has coached 23 All-Americans in his tenure, and after young teams fell out of the top 20 in 2002 and 2003, he brought the team back to the national spotlight in 2004. In 2005, Brown helped the Tigers return to the top 10 for the first time since 1998 with a 21-9 overall record and a tie for third place in the SEC.

With Brown at the helm, the Tigers have finished in the top 10 three times during his tenure. But he’s not ready to stop there. More than anyone, Brown himself would like to get back to the top of the conference because he remembers the thrill of being a part of championship teams.

“The years when we won the SEC and got to the Final Fours set the standard that we want to get back to,” he said. “When you have a couple of years where you don’t make it, you really appreciate it, and you’re hungry for more.”

Brown has put his Tigers in position to succeed on and off the court. Brown helped setup “Duel Under the Oaks” on October 29, 2006, a charity event held on LSU’s campus that helped raise more than $400,000 for LSU Health Sciences Center students impacted by the hurricanes that ripped through Louisiana in 2005. The event included a youth tennis clinic, tennis exhibitions with LSU tennis players and local celebrities and the main event of an exhibition match with former tennis pros Pete Sampras against Todd Martin at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The event was such a success that LSU hosted “Dual Under the Oaks II” in December 2008.

During Brown’s LSU tenure, the Tigers have had 4 SEC Scholar Athlete’s of the Year, 28 Academic All-Americans and 101 SEC Honor Roll members.

The Tigers were honored by the NCAA in 2008 for their Academic Progress Rate score. The Tigers scored a perfect APR of 1000 in the report by the NCAA. The LSU men’s tennis team scored the highest among LSU sports for the third year in a row. The NCAA recognized college sports teams from around the country that achieved an APR score in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The LSU men’s tennis team is one of only 10 sports teams out of 236 squads in the entire Southeastern Conference that were recognized for academic achievement by the NCAA, and it is the only men’s tennis team in the SEC to achieve the honor. In 2014, the Tigers received their fourth NCAA Public Recognition Award for their exceptional work in the classroom as part of the NCAA’s Academic Performance Program. They also earned the highest team GPA at LSU for the 2015 season.

When Brown took over the program in 1998, he was already well acquainted with the demands of being successful in college tennis. He enjoyed tremendous success as a player at LSU from 1985-88, as evidenced by his two All-SEC awards. He joined the Tiger tennis elite in his senior

season when he eclipsed the 100-career victory mark. That same year he captained LSU’s only NCAA finals team. He still has the fifth-most wins of any player in LSU history. Brown helped lead the Tigers to an 85-35 record as an assistant coach from 1994-97. LSU finished in the top-10 three of those four years.

“To be a part of LSU from so many angles, first as a player, then as an assistant and now as a head coach has been wonderful,” Brown said. “The tradition that has been here is that we’re competing for championships and we’re going to fight you to the end. That’s the thing that’s always been known about LSU in most sports and particularly tennis.

“LSU’s overall sports excellence helps because our guys are around other people who are used to winning. Athletes here run into each other often and it’s almost like there’s a silent competition amongst the sports. You are pulling for each other of course, but at the same time you’re driven not to fall behind the other sports on campus.”

“Jeff represents what the LSU tennis program is all about,” said Hall of Fame coach Jerry Simmons, who coached Brown on the 1988 LSU team that reached the NCAA Tournament championship match. Brown was team captain that year, leading the Tigers to a 27-2 record. Three years earlier as a freshman, Brown won a crucial SEC match at No. 4 singles that enabled LSU to win the conference crown.

“I knew as a player that I probably wanted to be a coach,” Brown said. “I could see that it was something that kept you young and kept you around young people. Everyone I came in contact with as a player has had some influence on me as a coach.”

Brown came across quite a few tennis legends as a player. He earned his degree at LSU in 1989 while serving as an assistant coach, and then left Baton Rouge for the ATP tour. He won the doubles title at the Volvo International in 1990 and advanced to the round of 16 at the U.S. Open

COACHES


The 2012-13 ITA Regional Assistant Coach of the Year Martin Stiegwardt enters his first year as a part of the LSU men’s tennis coaching staff.

Prior to joining the LSU staff, Stiegwardt spent three years at Auburn, which was preceded by two years as the assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s programs at Virginia Commonwealth University.

“Martin is well respected as a coach, and he is one of the best recruiters in the business,” Brown said. “The team will benefit from his experience because he has been both a player and a coach in the SEC. I have enjoyed competing with him and look forward to working with him to advance the LSU program.”

The Quito, Ecuador native guided two All-Americans, Alexis Heugas and Antoine Baroz, to the quarterfinals of the 2012 NCAA Doubles Tournament and has had players qualify for the NCAA Individual Championships in four out of his five years as an assistant coach.

“I am extremely honored to become a part of a very successful program that Jeff has built. I want to thank Jeff for giving me the opportunity to further the success of LSU Men’s Tennis,” Stiegwardt said. “LSU has always had a place in my heart, from the campus, to the culture and the people.

“LSU is certainly one of the top athletic programs in the nation, and Jeff is a first class person and coach. He’s someone I can learn a lot from, and I’m excited to get to work and get ready for the season. We know that we can have something special here. The new facility is one of the best in the country and will help us bring in the recruits that we are targeting.”

During his first season with Auburn, Stiegwardt coached two players into the NCAA Individual Championships and also led the team to its 16th straight NCAA Tournament appearance in 2014.

In the 2014-15 season Stiegwardt coached Lukas Ollert to the singles title in the ITA Regional Finals. He also worked with Ollert and his partner Marko Krickovic who finished as ITA Regional runners up in doubles.

While coaching at VCU, Stiegwardt steered both the men’s and women’s teams to consecutive conference titles. Two men’s players were named the conference Most Valuable Player of the Year, and the men’s team finished ranked in the top-30 during each of his two seasons with the Rams.

Outside of the collegiate ranks, Stiegwardt served as the traveling coach for Giovanni Lapentti, No. 110 in the ATP rankings, on the professional tour. Prior to VCU, Stiegwardt was also the former Executive Director of Tennis at SportsQuest Academy in Richmond, Virginia, and

the tennis pro and Junior Academy Director at Willow Oaks Country Club.

After beginning his collegiate career at the University of Florida in 2003, Stiegwardt transferred to Georgia State University and graduated in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in business management after playing the No. 1 court in both singles and doubles for two seasons. The two-time team captain helped lead the Panthers to their highest team ranking in school history at No. 33.

The 2007 Colonial Athletic Association Most Outstanding Performer became the first tennis player in Georgia State history to qualify for the NCAA Individual Championships in singles after finishing his senior season ranked in the top-50.

Stiegwardt was named First Team All-CAA and Second Team All-CAA for doubles during his senior season. He was also chosen as the Student-Athlete of the Year at Georgia State during his junior season.

He received the CAA Commissioner’s Award during his two years at Georgia State and was named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.

Stiegwardt also competed at Wimbledon and French Open Junior events and also played for Ecuador in the Davis Cup. He was the Ecuador singles and doubles champion in the Under 12, 14, 16 and 18 age groups and was one of the top junior players in the ITF world rankings at No. 40 in singles and No. 24 in doubles.

HISTORY


Dual matches take place on the north side of the facility at the W.T. ‘Dub’ Robinson Championship courts. The six remaining outdoor courts are located on the south side and allow the facility to host two matches at one time.

Fans may enjoy all the action with excellent sight lines from a total of 1,400 seats facing the 12 outdoor courts. The six indoor courts allow the Tigers to host different tournaments in front of more than 300 fans above the playing surface. The new facility also guarantees that both teams will never miss a practice or match due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Point-by-point scoring is available through Daktronics scoreboards on all 18 courts within the facility for an enhanced fan experience. Each set of courts also features a larger scoreboard with scores from all six courts. Fans off-site can track live matches online through StatBroadcast (www.LSUstats.com), which is directly linked to each judge’s controller.

Spectators will also benefit from a permanent concession stand located on the west side of the facility between the two sets of outdoor courts. Members of the media will be able to provide coverage in the press box facing the

W.T. ‘Dub’ Robinson Championship courts.

The LSU tennis programs are already reaping the benefits of the opening of the new facility. The men’s team hosted a fall invitational in 2015, while the women hosted the SEC Tournament in April 2016.

The LSU Tennis Complex is located on Gourrier Avenue across from LSU Baseball’s Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The LSU Tennis Complex replaces W.T. ‘Dub’ Robinson Stadium, which had served as home of both men’s and women’s tennis programs since 1976.

COMPLEXLSU TENNIS

In August 2015, the tennis programs opened the state-of-the-art LSU Tennis Complex. With more than 160,000 square feet of space, the facility features championship-caliber courts with 12 outdoors and six indoors. Housed inside the indoor facility are players’ lounges, locker rooms, cardio room, satellite training room and coaches’ offices for both the men’s and women’s teams.

At the Clay Courts, Kjellsten, who was the tournament’s eighth seed, knocked off top-ranked Malivai Washington of Michigan, 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinal and then cruised past fourth-ranked Greg Failla of Southern Cal in the semifinal. In the final, Kjellsten knocked off 12th- ranked Stephen Enochs of Georgia 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 to give LSU the school’s first grand slam event winner.

MICHAEL VENUS2008 D’Novo/All-American Champion2008 All-American Singles

Michael Venus defeated the nation’s No. 1 player Oleksandr Nedovyesov of Oklahoma State University to win the 2008 D’Novo All-American Championship, becoming the first in school history to win the title.

“LSU has had many great players in the history of the program. For Michael to be the first to win speaks to both the prestige of the tournament and to his level of play,” LSU head coach Jeff Brown said. “It’s also validation of the program in all that we are doing in practice, weights and conditioning is getting results.”

As Venus, No. 20 in preseason ITA rankings, and Nedovyesov squared off, the 6-3 LSU senior was battling severe knee pain. Venus was able to capture the first set by a 7-6 (5) mark, but faltered in the following set, allowing Nedovyesov to post a 6-2 mark. “Michael lost concentration in the second set and the match could have easily slid downhill,” LSU assistant coach Danny Bryan said. “His knee was hurting him so badly, I though he was going to have to stop the match, but he was able to fight through it and that’s what made the third set so amazing.”

After a close first set and falling in the second, Venus was able to overcome both the physical and mental hurdle his knee caused and capture the match in a stellar third set performance. Venus posted a 6-4 mark to win the set and the championship match. “Winning felt good. I was hurting and as I got into the third set, Danny motivated me and reminded me of how hard I had worked. It gave me the motivation I needed to push through when things got tough,” Venus said.

Venus’ run at the 2008 ITA All- American advanced him over six ranked opponents in the ITA’s preseason rankings. Venus began his campaign on a solid note as he knocked off No. 98 Roy Kalmanovich of Illinois, 6-2, 6-2, before moving into the second round to defeat No. 23 Jaime Hunt of Georgia , 6-4, 7-6(8). The highlight of Venus’ performance prior to the finals would be his victory over No. 4 Alex Clayton of Stanford. He advanced in straight sets over Clayton, 6-4, 6-1, moving into the tournament quarterfinals.

In the quarterfinals, Venus defeated Arkansas’ Blake Strode, No. 41, in a heated match, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, to catapult him into the semis where the

senior would overcome No. 31 Enrique Olivares of East Tennessee State, 7-6 (3), 6-1, creating history by becoming the first Tiger to ever advance into the finals at the ITA All-American.

El Sawy posted a 39-5 overall record and reached the semifinals of the NCAA singles tournament in 1993.
