ABOUT DUEY

Originally from Concord/Lexington, Massachusetts, Coach Duey Evans joined the ATA coaching staff in August 2019 in the role of High Performance Coach. In this role, he interacts with players in the Junior Development, Junior Academy and Academy programs, and also provides private lessons and coaching at various events. Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, he takes on the additional role of Director of Junior Academy.

Prior to ATA, Coach Evans has spent several decades as an entrepreneur within the tennis industry. During this time, he created several tennis programs focused on allowing players to go as far as their talent and desire allow, a couple of non profit 501c3 Community Tennis Associations, a Sports Management company which represented professional players and simultaneously operated a couple of the major City of Dallas tennis centers.

Over his career, Coach Evans has coached players who finished as high as #2 in the United States, members of the Nigerian Davis Cup squad, and the 2017 NCAA Men’s Singles Champion. He has coached players who went on to play college tennis at University of Virginia, University of Georgia, North Carolina State, Yale, Davidson College, and many more.  However, his two favorite accomplishments: having coached a player “from first ball to Gold Ball” and a three-year period where six players in his program only lost one tournament match to someone they had previously beaten.

You may have seen Duey around ATA with video gear in-hand. A serial entrepreneur, his company also works with ATA to help tell the ATA and ATA CP story. He has three daughters, the youngest (CeCe) was a G16 Super training full time at Lakes Tennis Academy until moving to Virginia with her Mom and stepfather in June 2019. Coach Evans considers “anyone who has lost the ability to dream big and find the help to reach their dreams” one of the saddest things in the world!
