CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Wake Forest men's tennis assistant coach Jeremy Feldman was named the head men's tennis coach at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Monday. Feldman, who spent the last two seasons in Winston-Salem, will be the 49ers' 18th head coach in school history.
"Congratulations to Jeremy on his new appointment at Charlotte," said Demon Deacon head coach Tony Bresky. "This a great opportunity for him in his pursuit of coaching at the highest level of college tennis. We as a program and I, personally, will miss him."
Over the last two seasons, the Deacons have gone 55-14, including 19-5 in the ACC, and reached the NCAA Tournament round of 16 in both years. In 2016, the Deacs had a program-record 31 wins, won their first-ever conference title and finished with their highest-ever final ranking at No. 8.
"Jeremy played a big role in our success over the last two years and in our ACC championship this season," Bresky said. "I anticipate he will make an excellent head coach at Charlotte and expect many more championships in his future."
With Feldman, the 2015 ITA Carolina Region Assistant Coach of the Year, on the coaching staff from 2014-16, Wake Forest has had five All-Americans and five all-conference honorees. Additionally, Noah Rubin won the 2015 ACC Player of the Year award and both he and Petros Chrysochos earned ACC Freshman of the Year plaudits.
Prior to his second stint with the Deacs, Feldman spent the 2013-14 season as an assistant coach at the University of Denver. He began his collegiate coaching career at Wake Forest as a volunteer assistant coach in the 2012-13 season.
The Armonk, New York native played collegiately at Cornell University from 2007-11 and earned All-Ivy league doubles honors in each of his last three seasons after taking home Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman. Bresky coached Feldman in his senior season with the Big Red.
Feldman graduated from Cornell with a bachelor's degree in economics in 2011. He will marry his fiancée, Elsa Gillis, who is a reporter for WSOC-TV in Charlotte, this Saturday, June 25.
