MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Cedric De Zutter had finished teaching a late-morning tennis lesson when his path from the outdoor courts at The Racquet Club took him past the University of Memphis team awaiting a postseason practice opportunity.
It was with a sense of pride that De Zutter stopped and talked briefly about the Tigers, his former team and one preparing for another NCAA tournament trip – its sixth in seven years.
De Zutter, now a tennis instructor at The Racquet Club, was a member of the 2012 team that earned a postseason invitation, the first in the-then 63-year history of the program.
