<strong>Duke</strong> Sports<br />
Hall of Fame<br />
Marc Flur stands as one of the<br />
winningest tennis players in <strong>Duke</strong><br />
history with a career record of 110-<br />
29. He is also the fi rst <strong>Duke</strong> tennis<br />
player to be inducted into the Hall<br />
of Fame. He earned ITA All-America honors in 1983 and fi n-<br />
ished his senior season ranked No. 15 in the nation in singles.<br />
The 1983 ACC Tournament MVP, Flur is the only player in<br />
<strong>Duke</strong> history to earn fi ve league fl ight championships, capturing<br />
two singles titles and three doubles crowns.<br />
Flur also helped propel <strong>Duke</strong> to its fi rst ever ACC Team<br />
Championship in 1982. The 1982 team also established a<br />
school record for wins in a season, compiling a 31-4 mark, and<br />
made the program’s fi rst appearance in the NCAA Championship.<br />
Following his college career, Flur went on to play on the<br />
professional tennis tour for six years. His highest ranking was<br />
No. 71 in the world in singles and No. 60 in doubles. He played<br />
at Wimbledon fi ve times and in the U.S. Open on six occasions.<br />
Flur returned to <strong>Duke</strong> in 1989 to serve as an assistant<br />
coach for the men’s tennis team. He worked for one season<br />
under former coach Steve Strome and two years with Jay Lapidus.<br />
During Flur’s tenure, the Blue Devil teams compiled a<br />
52-30 record and won one ACC championship.<br />
Flur, who was inducted into the <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>Athletics</strong> Hall of<br />
Fame in 1995, now works as a Certifi ed Financial Planner with<br />
The Piedmont Carolinas Group, LLC., in Durham.
This Is <strong>Duke</strong> Tennis<br />
The Blue Devil<br />
The name used for the <strong>Duke</strong> athletic teams was<br />
derived from the French Blue Devils, a crack Alpine<br />
corps, which wore a striking blue uniform with a blue<br />
beret.<br />
William H. Lander, assistant editor of The Chronicle,<br />
the school newspaper, suggested the name in the<br />
spring of 1922 because of the growing dissatisfaction<br />
with the nicknames “Methodists” and “the Blue and<br />
White.”<br />
Beginning with the fi rst issue of the 1922-23<br />
Chronicle, co-editors Lander and Mike Bradshaw insisted<br />
that all teams be referred to as the Blue Devils in<br />
the newspaper. The university news bureau did not pick<br />
up on the name that year and the cheerleaders did not<br />
use it. But through sheer repetition, it eventually caught<br />
on as the nickname for all of <strong>Duke</strong>’s sports teams.<br />
Head Coach Ramsey Smith<br />
Head coach Ramsey Smith, begins his fi rst season<br />
as head coach at <strong>Duke</strong> in 2008-09 after serving as<br />
associate head coach and assistant coach for the his<br />
alma mater the previous three seasons. Smith, a twotime<br />
All-America at <strong>Duke</strong>, held a perfect 32-0 record in<br />
ACC matches during his four-year career. He helped<br />
lead the Blue Devils to four straight ACC Championships,<br />
earning ACC Tournament MVP twice.<br />
<strong>Duke</strong> Tennis<br />
The words “ACC Championship” and “NCAA Appearance”<br />
have become synonymous with Blue Devil<br />
men’s tennis. Around the halls of <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong>, an<br />
ACC Men’s Tennis Championship has become something<br />
of an annual event.<br />
Those championships have led to 18 total NCAA<br />
Tournament appearances, including six quarterfi nal<br />
showings in 1993, ‘94, ‘97, ‘99, ‘00 and ‘01.<br />
<strong>Duke</strong> boasts more ACC titles and more NCAA<br />
berths since 1991 than any other league member.<br />
Dominating The ACC<br />
In addition to capturing 11 of the last 15 ACC<br />
Championships, <strong>Duke</strong> put together a string of 58 consecutive<br />
regular season conference wins from 1996 to<br />
2004.<br />
<strong>Duke</strong> has won 12 ACC crowns, capturing league<br />
championships in 1982, ‘91, ‘93, ‘94, ‘95, ‘96, ‘98, ‘99,<br />
2000, ‘01, ‘03 and ‘06.<br />
Marko Cerenko fi nished his career with the Blue<br />
Devils in 2001 with a perfect 31-0 singles record in ACC<br />
regular season play while helping <strong>Duke</strong> to four league<br />
crowns.<br />
In 2001, Ramsey Smith became <strong>Duke</strong>’s fi rst<br />
two-time ACC Tournament Most Valuable Player after<br />
leading the Blue Devils to their fourth consecutive conference<br />
championship.<br />

Over the past decade, <strong>Duke</strong> <strong>University</strong> has invested over $25 million to<br />
make its athletic facilities among the fi nest in the nation. This commitment is<br />
evident in the changes instituted directly for the men’s tennis team. <strong>Duke</strong> Athletic<br />
Director Kevin White continues to lead the way in providing <strong>Duke</strong> with top<br />
facilities to help student-athletes stay in peak condition.<br />
Originally completed in the summer of 1987, the <strong>Duke</strong> Tennis Stadium<br />
was renovated into the Ambler Tennis Stadium. The facility was funded by Merrill<br />
Ambler and features seat-backs for fan seating, a scoreboard, new court<br />
surfaces and restrooms.<br />
In addition to the fi ne outdoor courts, the <strong>Duke</strong> athletic department completed<br />
the Sheffi eld Indoor Tennis Center in the winter of 2000. Named after<br />
Karl and Alice Sheffi eld, the facility features six courts, offi ces for the coaches,<br />
a hall of fame room and locker rooms. It was awarded the 2000 United States<br />
Tennis Association Outstanding Tennis Facility on February 25, 2001. The Sheffi<br />
eld Indoor Tennis Center is only the third tennis center in North Carolina to<br />
receive the award since it began in 1981.<br />
The modern training room provides all of the equipment and services necessary<br />
to keep the <strong>Duke</strong> men’s tennis team healthy and in action. The trainer’s<br />
offi ce is off the main training area, allowing the players convenient access to<br />
this care.<br />
The weight room is another extensive area, directed by strength coordinator<br />
Anne Tamporello. The 3,300 square-foot weight room has over three tons of<br />
free weights along with Nautilus, Hydra-Gym and Universal stations.<br />
In 2008 the completion of the Michael W. Krzyzewski Center - Dedicated<br />
to Academic & Athletic Excellence - provided all of <strong>Duke</strong>’s student-athletes with<br />
a new Academics Center featuring tutorial rooms, dedicated study space, computer<br />
lab areas and offi ces for academics staff, nearly tripling the size of the<br />
previous academics area.<br />
Some more recent additions to the tennis facilities include a new state of<br />
the art Daktronics indoor scoring system. This project, which was installed in<br />
the fall of 2006, includes seven wireless scoreboards. There are six individual<br />
scoreboards (one mounted behind each court) that provides the player’s name<br />
as well as the game and set scores. The main scoreboard shows the dual<br />
match score and scores of all six courts. Also the six main outdoor courts have<br />
been resurfaced in the US Open (<strong>Duke</strong>) blue color.<br />

<strong>Duke</strong> At Home<br />
The Blue Devils have enjoyed tremendous success at home since the 1991 season.<br />
During the last 18 seasons, the men’s squad owns a home record of 148-31. In the spring<br />
of 2002, <strong>Duke</strong> renamed its outdoor tennis facility the Ambler Tennis Stadium in the name of<br />
longtime supporter Merrill Ambler.<br />
<strong>Duke</strong> has had four undefeated seasons at home since 1991. The Blue Devils went 8-0<br />
in both 1993 and 1995. They were 9-0 in 1999 and 11-0 in 2001.<br />
Here is a look at <strong>Duke</strong>’s year-by-year record at home since 1991:<br />

Academic Excellence<br />
The commitment to excellence in academics is obvious in all of <strong>Duke</strong>’s<br />
sports programs. All of the Blue Devil teams have graduation rates near 100<br />
percent every year, including men’s tennis which has a 100-percent graduation<br />
rate under head coach Jay Lapidus.<br />
The <strong>Duke</strong> administration and the athletics department both embrace the<br />
philosophy that receiving a meaningful degree is the primary goal of attending<br />
college. As a result, <strong>Duke</strong> has compiled one of the nation’s most impressive<br />
reputations for its dedication to excellence on and off the fi eld.<br />
<strong>Duke</strong> has a full-time Director of Academic Support in Dr. Chris Kennedy,<br />
who helps male athletes with course selection and monitors their progress<br />
toward graduation. He also oversees the tutoring program, which is available<br />
to all athletes who desire extra help.<br />
Student-athletes choosing <strong>Duke</strong> get the best of both worlds when it comes<br />
to playing sports and receiving a quality education. The value of <strong>Duke</strong>’s commitment<br />
to its athletes can be seen in the careers that many of them move<br />
on to after college. They are doctors, lawyers and engineers. Some go directly<br />
into the job market, while others head to graduate school. Whatever the<br />
choice, the <strong>Duke</strong> degree is an invaluable commodity. That’s why choosing a<br />
college is not just a four-year decision but a lifetime choice.<br />

The average temperature<br />
in Durham is 59<br />
degrees and snowfall<br />
totals less than<br />
eight inches per year.<br />
A temperate climate<br />
and the unique blend<br />
of big-city activity<br />
with an unfrenzied<br />
pace makes Durham<br />
a great place to call<br />
home.<br />
The Durham Bulls,<br />
Tampa Bay’s AAA<br />
baseball affiliate, are<br />
a popular attraction<br />
among area<br />
residents.
In 2002, Employment Review Magazine<br />
ranked “The Triangle” area of Durham, Chapel<br />
Hill and Raleigh as the number one place<br />
in America to live and work. Money Magazine<br />
made the same selection in 1994.<br />
Brightleaf Square, shown<br />
above, in downtown Durham<br />
is a turn-of-the-century tobacco<br />
warehouse renovated<br />
as a unique shopping, dining<br />
and entertainment district.<br />
Located in the heart of North Carolina’s<br />
rolling Piedmont region, Durham stands out as<br />
a gem among southern cities. Through the years,<br />
the city has evolved from a tobacco and textile<br />
town into an international center for medicine,<br />
scholarship, biotechnology and electronics.<br />
Founded in 1853, Durham is widely recognized<br />
for its diversity. Originally a manufacturing<br />
center, the city now is known for excellence<br />
in medicine, education, research and industry.<br />
The wide range of activities available in the area<br />
lends the city a multifaceted appeal that strikes<br />
even first-time visitors.<br />
Durham has a natural appeal as well, characterized<br />
by 98,000 acres of hardwood and evergreen<br />
forests including the only remaining old<br />
growth Piedmont bottomland forests and 7,800<br />
acres of cropland. Hills and dales, meandering<br />
rivers and streams, several lakes, 26 rare plant<br />
species and several rare species of birds and animals<br />
can also be found here.<br />
With 187,000 residents in the one-city<br />
county, Durham is the fourth-largest city in<br />
North Carolina. It is ideally located on the large<br />
and small scale. Within the immediate area it<br />
stands as the pinnacle of the “Triangle” region<br />
of North Carolina, a metropolitan population of<br />
1,000,000 people that includes Chapel Hill to the<br />
south and west and Raleigh, the state capital, to<br />
the south and east. On a regional level, this area<br />
is the primary center of culture, sports, education<br />
and government between Washington, D.C., and<br />
Atlanta.<br />
With excellent sports and cultural activities<br />
in the area, Durham is a fun place to be. People<br />
from all walks of life — academic, industrial,<br />
professional, agricultural — blend to provide a<br />
warm, rich sense of hospitality and diversity.
From the mountains to the west and the beaches of the<br />
Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Carolina’s landscape is as<br />
diverse — and beautiful — as any state in the nation.<br />
Millions of tourists come to North Carolina each year to<br />
take advantage of all the state has to offer.
North Carolina is a state of diversity — diversity<br />
in its population, in its economic production<br />
and in its beautiful scenery. According to the 2000<br />
census, North Carolina was the home to more than<br />
eight million people of many nationalities.<br />
Known for its major production of tobacco,<br />
North Carolina is also a major producer of textiles<br />
and furniture, fueled by the thousands of acres of<br />
forests that cover the state. Among its other leading<br />
products are broilers, hogs, turkeys, greenhouse<br />
products, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts<br />
and eggs. In addition, there are hundreds of coastal<br />
fisheries that yield shrimp, menhaden and crabs as<br />
the primary catches.<br />
The scenery throughout the state is diverse and<br />
beautiful. From the mountains to the west and the<br />
beaches adjoining the Atlantic Ocean to the<br />
east, North Carolina is one of the nation’s<br />
most picturesque states. Some of the major<br />
attractions in the state include the<br />
Great Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge<br />
National Parkway, the Cape Hatteras<br />
and Cape Lookout National Seashores,<br />
the Wright Brothers National Memorial<br />
at Kitty Hawk, Guilford Courthouse<br />
and Moores Creek National Military<br />
Parks. This scenery, enhanced by a mild<br />
climate with enough rainfall to assist<br />
with the state’s abundant greenery, attracts<br />
millions of visitors who come to North Carolina<br />
annually to take advantage of its clean and uncluttered<br />
beaches, its string of forests and the mountain<br />
ranges in the western part of the state.<br />
In recent years, North Carolina has become a<br />
favorite place for the entertainment industry. Some<br />
of the television shows and movies filmed in North<br />
Carolina include Cast Away (2001), The Green<br />
Mile (1999), Dawson’s Creek (1997-2003), Kiss the<br />
Girls (1997), I Know What You Did Last Summer<br />
(1997), Forrest Gump (1998), The Fugitive (1993),<br />
The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Sleeping with<br />
the Enemy (1991), Bull Durham (1988) and Dirty<br />
Dancing (1987).

ranked No. 1 nationally.<br />
• Shannon Rowbury and Debra Vento received<br />
NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships.<br />
• Women’s soccer sophomore Christie McDonald<br />
was awarded the Wilma Rudolph Student Athlete<br />
Achievement Award after coming back from having<br />
brain surgery over the summer of 2006. She started 18 of<br />
21 matches after returning.<br />
• <strong>Duke</strong> student-athletes registered a 3.1 grade point average<br />
during the 2006-07 school year. A total of 26 varsity teams<br />
