Every year the fans come out in droves — not like the foot- ball crowd, but laid back, wearing shorts and suntan lotion. Athens anually welcomes the NCAA tennis championships to the Henry Field Stadium at the Univer- sity of Georgia. the home folks had plenty to cheer about as several Georgia play- ers participated in the tourney. Two of these Bulldogs were Allen Miller and Ola Malmqvist. the 1982 doubles runner up. The two teamed up once again in 1983 to bring home the dou- bles title. It was the first NCAA out- door tennis championship ever won by a Georgia player or team. The Dog ' s duo did not exactly breeze into this year ' s final. In fact, they were not even seeded. And, in the final two rounds, they defeated number one seed Roberto Saad and Paul Smith of Wilchita State and number two Ken Flach and Rebert Sequ.so of Southern Illinois — Ed- wardsville. Utah ' s Greg Holmes put together an incredible sting of 24 straight vic- tories en route to the singles cham- pionship. He finished the season with a record of 48-4, defeating Fre- drik Pahlett of Minnesota in the fin- als. In winning the title. Holmes was extended to three sets only once — that in the semi-finals when he de- feated David Pate of TCU. Pahlett defeated the highly touted Rodney Harmon of SMU in the other semi- final. While Utah and Georgia are not always mentioned in tennis circles, there always seems to be a team from California. In fact, only once in the last 24 years has a non-California team won the title — that coming in 1972 when Trimly won the cham- pionship. So, keeping in tradition, Stanford came away with the team title — their seventh. They defeated SMU 5-4, after taking a 4-2 lead in the singles matches. The biggest winner was once again the University of Georgia and the city of Athens. Even though the Dogs were not entered in team play, the University hosted the 99th an- nual tourney for the seventh con- secutive year. Coach Dan Magill ' s program is recognized as one of the best in the nation and community support is lead by tennis buffs such as Kenny Rogers. With the great success of the last seven years, the NCAA was sure to be back in the classis city with a classic tennis tournament for 1984. i i1
