Under Petrovic's Leadership, Radcliffe Tennis Club Booms

It is now an undeniable fact that this club is now a competitive force at the inter-collegiate level.

"I have received calls from coaches at other institutions who have heard about our club and want to include us on their competitive roster schedule for this coming year," Petrovic said. "Due to such contact, we have expanded our competitive matches to include the varsity teams of preparatory schools. Phillips Academy and Exeter have also expressed interest in playing our club this upcoming year."

Now the Radcliffe Tennis Club is permanently established as a serious and significant competitive tennis organization at Harvard. The Harvard Athletic Administration also recognizes the team now. In addition to this, the women's varsity tennis team supports the team as well.

"Varsity coaches refer women to our club now," Petrovic said. "And now we receive direct support from the varsity women's assistant coach, Jennifer Callen. She donated over 40 tennis outfits to our club exclusively for club use at inter-collegiate matches."

Petrovic herself has made a resounding impact on many people that she has come in contact with. Her efforts with the organization have led to commendations from the Harvard Varsity Tennis coaching staff, as well as from John Wentzell, the director of Harvard Club Sports.

After her stint as captain of the club, Petrovic will continue to organize tennis for student-athletes looking for an outlet to play. Students at John Hopkins School of Medicine will surely benefit next year, as Petrovic will be enrolling there this fall.

"While I am graduating and thus will no longer be involved in Harvard athletics and tennis, I plan to continue my organization tennis activities post-Harvard," Petrovic said. "I hope to establish a women's tennis club for medical students."
