Women's tennis coach retires after 23 years

Originally hired as head coach of the women's tennis team in 1983, Phil Rogers announced his retirement from the position on July 8.

Rogers compiled a 260-233 record during his 23 years at Virginia and sent seven teams to the NCAA tournament. The 260 victories rank second all-time in the ACC. Before his retirement, he was the longest-tenured coach in the conference.

A graduate of Virginia in 1971, Rogers worked as a professional coach before coming to back to Virginia to head the women's team. He coached tennis legend Martina Navratilova from 1979 to 1981 as she climbed to No. 1 in the world rankings.
