8th SeasonButler, 2002

After seven successful campaigns, Jimmy Borendame continues to help Middle Tennessee men’s tennis ascend to the top. Borendame has amassed the third most wins in program history. He has wasted no time making an impact on the MT program, rightfully earning back-to-back Sun Belt Coach of the Year honors after leading the Blue Raiders to a pair of conference tournament titles and NCAA tour-nament berths in his first two seasons at the helm. Since taking over the team with 7-20 record in 2010 and ranked No. 165 in the ITA national rankings, the team has been ranked as high as No. 32 in the nation in 2013.

Borendame came to Murfreesboro after serving a one-year stint as the head men’s tennis coach at Drake in Des Moines, Iowa. He led the Bulldogs to a 15-9 record, which included seven wins in an eight-match stretch from late February to mid-March. While at Drake, he tutored Mauricio Ballivian to Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year accolades and his third-consecutive All-MVC First Team honor. Ballivian paired with freshman James McKie as the All-MVC First Team doubles tandem. Borendame arrived at Drake after a successful five-year tenure as the assistant men’s tennis coach at Virginia Tech, including the 2008-09 campaign as the program’s associate head coach. The Hokies posted a 70-56 (.556) mark, includ-ing three NCAA tournament appearances, during his stay in Blacksburg.

He also has spent one year each as an assistant coach at West Virginia (2002-03) and William & Mary (2003-04). While

with the Tribe, he helped W&M to a No. 38 national ranking and victories over nationally-ranked VCU and Tennessee. In 2016, Borendame added a certification from Etcheberry Experience for tennis specific strength and conditioning to his résumé.

He is a USPTA certified instructor and was picked to coach the 2006 and 2007 Mid-Atlantic National Junior teams which participated in the national championships in Cham-paign, Illinois.

The Chicago, Illinois, native has led his Blue Raider pro-grams to multiple ITA All-Academic Team and Raiders Choice Awards honors for academic excellence.

Borendame received his bachelor’s degree with honors in finance from Butler in 2002 and a master’s degree in sport management from West Virginia in 2003. His concentration was collegiate athletic administration/sport marketing. He is married to the former Genevieve McNeill, who was a standout swimmer at the University of Arkansas. They have two children, one daughter, Lynden and one son, Rocco.


Assistant Coach1st SeasonTulane, 2017

Volunteer Assistant2nd SeasonTennessee, 1983

Middle Tennessee men’s tennis head coach Jimmy Borendame announced the hiring of Sebastian Rey as assistant coach in mid-June 2017. Rey played four seasons at Tulane, helping the Green Wave climb to a national ranking of No. 30 at the end of his senior season.

A Wantage, United Kingdom, native, Rey was 85-39 in singles play and had a record of 59-46 in doubles at Tulane. His list of accomplishments and recogni-tion includes ITA Southern Region Senior Player of the Year, three-time LSWA First Team All-Louisiana, and Second Team All-Conference USA. Rey cracked the ITA singles rankings for the first time as a senior, reaching as high on the list as No. 110. He rounded out his career ranked No. 66 in the country in doubles.

Prior to his college career at Tulane, Rey attended Monkton Combe School in Oxford in the United Kingdom, where he was ranked in the top 10 in the British Junior rankings.

John Kreis joined Jimmy Borendame’s Middle Tennessee men’s tennis coach-ing staff as a volunteer assistant in fall 2016, after being hired by the Adams Tennis Complex in Murfreesboro as its first professional in April 2016.

Kreis previously held the position of Director of Tennis at the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club in Norfolk, Virginia, since 2006. Along with his experience at tennis clubs and resorts, Kreis had head coaching stints at Tennessee, Mis-sissippi State and Alabama. He is responsible for 8 All-Americans, 22 All-SEC performers, and 11 Academic All-SEC award winners.

In the mid-1990s, Kreis served as chairman of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ten-nis Committee, directing the largest amateur tennis event in the world during the 1996 Championship at the University of Georgia and 1997 Championship in Los Angeles. During a five-year stint on the Committee, he helped guide the NCAA Tennis Championships from a 20-team event to a 64-team event with 8 regional qualifiers.
