Alabama doubles tandem remains in main draw

Former Ball State assistant coach Jeff Nevolo is entering his first season as an assistant coach with the Crimson Tide.

Nevolo, a native of Gurnee, Ill., graduated from Ball State University with a master's degree in executive development for public service in May. He began his coaching stint for the Cardinals in 2009 as a volunteer assistant before being promoted to assistant coach last season. In 2011, he helped Ball State capture the Mid-American Conference title for the first time since 2005, which gave the Cardinals an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. As an undergraduate, Nevolo served as team manager and team stringer, where he maintained the rackets, assisted in practices and managed expenses for away matches.

Aside from Ball State, Nevolo was also a tennis teaching professional at The Bridgewater Club in Carmel, Ind., and the Muncie Family YMCA in Muncie, Ind. His 2009 USTA Men's 3.0 team took the Indiana State Championships, while his 2011 USTA Men's 3.5 and Women's 4.0 teams were state finalists.
