Keynote Speaker: Brad Gilbert
Keynote Speaker: Brad Gilbert

Brad Gilbert is many things to the sport of tennis: coach, player, author, analyst, reporter, and inspirational speaker. His words and actions have shaped the landscape of tennis since the early 1980's. Brad was ranked as high as #4 in the world in the '90s, and made quarter final appearances at the US Open in 1987 and Wimbledon in 1990. He won the Olympic Bronze Medal in South Korea in 1988 and had a 10-5 Davis Cup record.
After his playing career ended, Brad coached Andre Agassi for 8 years (1994 - 2002). During that time, Agassi won six Grand Slam titles and an Olympic Gold Medal, while also reaching #1 in the world for the first time in his career. Brad later coached Andy Roddick to a US Open title in 2003 and the top spot in the rankings. Brad also coached Andy Murray and Kei Nishikori. He is currently an analyst on ESPN2's extensive schedule of tennis programming, including the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open Series.
