John Patrick Smith (pictured above), currently with a career-high ATP ranking of No.163 (as of 23 March 2015), represented and graduated from the University of Tennessee with two degrees in Economics. He ranked No. 1 in both singles and doubles in his college career and was named All-American in singles and doubles for four straight years – one of only two players in NCAA history to achieve this feat.
