Tide Tennis Throwback
10/6/2014 12:00:00 AM | Men's Tennis
Max Belski was one of the best Alabama tennis players of the early 2000s. The native of Minsk, Belarus, started off with a bang capping off his freshman campaign by earning first team All-SEC honors in doubles with partner Francisco Rodriguez. Following his sophomore season, Belski was awarded first team All-SEC recognition in singles after ranking as high as No. 14 in the nation. In 2001, playing exclusively from the No. 1 position in singles, he went 18-6 in dual match play, 9-4 in SEC play and boasted a 21-12 record overall, with nine wins against nationally ranked opponents. He later went on to participate in the NCAA Singles Championship where he would earn All-America honors.
Belski continued to earn postseason accolades throughout his career, being named second team All-SEC in 2002 and 2003. He was also selected to participate in the NCAA Singles Championship for a second time in 2002.
The 2014 reunion will be held Nov. 14-15. The event will include a Meet the Tide social, doubles mixer with current and former players, a tennis tailgate and the Alabama football game against Mississippi State. For more details, e-mail Coach Husack at ghusack@ia.ua.edu. Roll Tide!
