Please consider supporting University of Georgia Men's Tennis by becoming a member of our Champions Club. We're proud of our history and tradition. Our status today has been created by indefatigable efforts by players, coaches, staff, fans, and loyal supporters like yourself.

Did you know that since 1955 UGA has only had two Men's Tennis Head Coaches? The legendary Dan Magill 1955-1988, and our current coach Manuel Diaz since 1989. Both started their Bulldog careers as varsity players.

The life-long commitment is a uniting bond of the Bulldog family. And it's part of the recipe for excellence. Which anyone who has ever worn the red-and-black can attest to.

Manny Diaz, Head Coach

In his 22nd season at the helm of the Georgia men's tennis team in 2010, head coach Manuel Diaz led the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament semifinals for the fourth time in five seasons. Overall it was Georgia's 32nd trip to the big stage and they advanced there on the home courts as the NCAA Tournament came to Athens for a record 26th time.

When the Bulldogs defeated Vanderbilt on March 15, 2010, Diaz became just the sixth head coach in Georgia history to notch 500 career wins.

One of the nation's top coaches, Manuel Diaz led the Bulldogs to their second consecutive NCAA Championship in 2008. The sixth NCAA team championship title in school history, Diaz has accounted for four of them as the head coach (1999, 2001, 2007, 2008). He was also an assistant coach under Dan Magill on both of the other winning squads (1985, '87). Diaz is currently one of only two active head coaches to win multiple NCAA championships (joining USC's Peter Smith).

Diaz coached the Dogs to their third consecutive SEC Championship in 2008, earning the 25th regular-season championship in school history, far and away the most of any conference school. His teams have also claimed a conference-leading seven SEC Tournament championships. Combined, Georgia has claimed 32 SEC championship titles and has doubled up to win both championships in the same year six times.

Diaz holds an impressive career record of 509-108 (.825) in his 22 seasons. In addition to his four NCAA Championships, his teams have reached the NCAA finals seven other times: 1989, 1991, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2002, and 2006. In addition, they have reached the semifinals three times and quarterfinals five times.

Since 2006, Diaz has coached his team to a remarkable 135-16 record that includes an undefeated 32-0 National Championship season in 2007. Georgia was also 30-1 in 2006, with its lone loss coming in the NCAA Finals. From April 23, 2005 to March 19, 2010, Diaz coached the Dogs to 71 straight wins at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, the second-longest home winning streak in program history.

Diaz led Georgia to 11 consecutive national top-five finishes from 1989 to '99, a feat no other school in the country can match.

Diaz's Bulldogs won the program's first-ever triple crown of tennis in 2001, as the team won its second national title in three years, while Matias Boeker won the NCAA singles crown and teamed with Travis Parrott for the doubles championship. It was only the third time since 1977 that such a feat had been accomplished.

Diaz has led Georgia to 12 regular season SEC titles in his 21 seasons to go along with seven SEC Tournament titles. He was named SEC Coach of the Year in 1989, 1995, 2001, 2006 and 2007.
