Florida has one of the strongest and most storied women's tennis programs in NCAA history, producing such former greats as Lisa Raymond and Jill Craybas. Only the Stanford University women's tennis team has won more NCAA Championships than the Gators. The women's tennis team has won six NCAA championships (1992, 1996, 1998, 2003, 2011, 2012) and six Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national indoor championships (1988, 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997, 1999), and twenty-five SEC Championships.

The men's tennis team has won nine SEC Championships, and two singles and one doubles championships in the annual NCAA tournament.

Andy Jackson is the head coach of the men's tennis team, and coach Roland Thornqvist leads the women's tennis team.

The Gators men's and women's tennis teams play their home matches at Linder Stadium at Ring Tennis Complex.

Famous quotes containing the word tennis:

    Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.
    Joseph Heller (b. 1923)

    I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best. Tennis players are rare creatures: where else in the world can you know that you’re the best? The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

    Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
