November 12, 2022 | Men's Tennis
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Filip Pieczonka has signed with the Tennessee men's tennis team and will join the Vols for the 2023-24 campaign, head coach Chris Woodruff announced Saturday.
Â
Pieczonka, from Gdańsk, Poland, currently holds a career-high 13.67 UTR and his career-best Junior ITF ranking is No. 39. Pieczonka, the former No. 1 Polish Junior, won six doubles titles and one singles title as a Junior, amassing a career-best ATP singles ranking of No. 1,652 and No. 1,527 on the doubles charts.
Â
"Filip is an exceptional player who is going to win a lot of matches for this program and beyond in pro tennis," associate head coach James McKie said. "He is 6'4" and left-handed with an extremely explosive game. Filip is a great doubles player and was also a top-40 junior in the world. Filip's current coach in Poland was my coach growing up, so it's nice to have that connection and immediate trust."
Â
Pieczonka has notable victories over Giles Arnaud Bailly (2022 Junior US Open finalist), Pedro Rodenas (2022 Junior Wimbledon Semifinalist), Gerard Campana Lee (currently No. 5 in the world junior rankings) and Philip Sekulic (494ATP).
