Boston University's most accomplished men's tennis player and one of the nation's finest during his collegiate years, Bob Green enjoyed a six-year stint on the professional tour following graduation.
A three-year Team MVP who registered 49 career wins, Green's totals could have been of a higher magnitude had he spent his entire career at Boston University. Following a stellar freshman campaign, in which he won the ECAC Division II Singles Championship and the singles and doubles titles at the Yankee Conference Tournament, Green transferred to the University of Texas.
However, he returned to Boston University for his junior and senior years, and quickly went about re-establishing himself as one of the region's top performers. He served as team captain and earned his second MVP Award during his junior year, when he enjoyed an ITCA national ranking of 29th.
During his final year, Green was selected to represent Region I at the NCAA Championship, marking the first time a Terrier has participated at nationals.
A member of the University's prestigious Presidential Scholars Program, Green demonstrated his talents extended to the classroom. He earned the E. Ray Speare Award as the Outstanding Scholar- Athlete of the Year and was one of three national collegiate tennis players to receive an ITCA Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.
Following graduation, he commenced a successful professional career by earning ATP Rookie of the Year honors in 1984. He achieved a career-high world ranking of 37th, and competed in several Grand Slam Tournaments, including the 1984 U.S. Open in which he suffered a third-round defeat to John McEnroe.
