PORTLAND, Ore. – Former college tennis standout and recent ATP professional Sam Iftikhar has joined the University of Portland men's tennis program as a volunteer assistant coach, Pilot head coach Aaron Gross announced. Iftikhar currently holds an ATP world ranking and had a distinguished four-year career at New Mexico that concluded in 2015.
Iftikhar replaces Olivier Jamin in the volunteer assistant role, a position that Jamin held for the previous three years. Jamin played a key role in helping lead Portland to its first West Coast Conference title in program history last spring.
"I want to make sure I talk about Olivier and what he meant to our program," Portland head coach Aaron Gross said.
