Winston-Salem, N.C. - Wake Forest's 2006 recruiting class has been ranked 12th nationally by tennisrecruiting.net, the website announced on Thursday. All three of Wake Forest players are listed as five-star players and signed national letters of intent last fall.
The class includes Andrew Brasseaux (Covington, La./St. Paul's School), Mike Greenberg (Chapel Hill, N.C./East Chapel Hill) and Jason Morgenstern (Old Bethpage, N.Y./Plainview Old Bethpage JFK).
"We're extremely happy with this class," Zinn said. "All three of these players are a good fit for Wake Forest University on and off the court. They are the kind of people and players who can help us compete for an ACC Championship."
Brasseaux is the 100th-ranked junior nationally and the top player from Louisiana. He was a finalist at the ITF G-5 event in Ecuador last fall where he scored a 6-4, 6-2 win over Jose Zunino, an Ecuadorian who has been as high as No. 1138 in the ATP rankings. He also reached the quarterfinals at the Peru Junior Open. Brasseaux has been training at Joey Blake's Top Notch academy in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Greenberg is ranked 55th nationally and second-ranked player in North Carolina. He was a the NCHSAA 3-A state champion in 2005 as a junior and placed fourth in the 2005 Mayor's Cup. Greenberg posted a third place finish at the North Carolina Tar Heel Qualifier. His brothers played college tennis, Jonny at Kenyon College and Dan at Williams.
Morgenstern is the 33rd-ranked junior nationally and fourth-ranked player in New York. At the National Open in Latham, N.Y., in October, Morgenstern was a semifinalist. He reached the round of 16 at the 2004 National Clay Courts Tournament. He competed in the prestigious Junior Davis Cup with current Deacon freshman and fellow New Yorker Cory Parr in July.
