Broosova returns after successful 7-year stint as an assistant at Tulsa
WACO, Texas. – Baylor women's tennis' all-time leader in singles and doubles wins may one day help coach the player that breaks her record. Head Coach Joey Scrivano announced Wednesday the hiring of Baylor Hall of Famer Lenka Broosova as the Associate Head Coach, bringing her home to Waco.
Broosova comes to Baylor following a seven-year stint as an Assistant Coach at the University of Tulsa. There, she helped lead the Golden Hurricane to three American Athletic Conference titles in 2015, 2016 and 2018. She was promoted to Associate Head Coach in 2017, and she also helped guide Tulsa to the NCAA Round of 16 in 2018 while the program achieved its highest NCAA ranking at No. 14.
Prior to her time at Tulsa, she played two years professionally from 2011-12 and was Baylor's Director of Tennis Operations from 2010-11.
Broosova should be no stranger to Baylor tennis fans. Her impressive resume on the court for the Bears resulted in a 2020 induction into the Baylor Athletics Hall of Fame. She left Baylor with 154 singles wins and 120 career doubles victories – both of which stand as the all-time record.
A three-time All-American in doubles and two-time All-American in singles, Broosova was named the Big 12 Player of the Year as a senior in 2010. She helped Baylor to a sweep of the Big 12 regular-season and tournament titles in her four-year career (2007-10) and four NCAA Tournament appearances, including the NCAA semifinals in 2008 and the quarterfinals as a senior when the Bears achieved their first-ever No. 1 ranking.
Broosova graduated from Baylor in 2010 with a degree in speech communication, and she is a native of Banksa Bystrica, Slovakia. She replaces Alex Santos, whose stint at Baylor lasted just over a year before he accepted the Associate Head Coach position at the University of Miami in late November.
HEAD COACH JOEY SCRIVANO
"We are thrilled to welcome Lenka back to Baylor. She is one of the top up-and-coming coaches in our sport. Someone of her caliber could be a head coach at a Power 5 school right now, so we are fortunate she has been patient and selective with her coaching career and that the timing was right for this opportunity.
"As a student-athlete at Baylor, Lenka was a pleasure to coach. Her competitiveness was unmatched, and she was consistently a strong leader and culture builder. She has competed for national championships and pursued a professional tennis career. Lenka truly understands the challenges aspiring tennis players face as they navigate selecting a university, competing as a team and preparing for life beyond college. Our student-athletes are going to greatly benefit from her experience and willingness to invest in their lives."
LENKA BROOSOVA
"First, I would like to thank Coach Scrivano, Jovan Overshown and Mack Rhoades for the opportunity to join the women's tennis coaching staff. I am absolutely thrilled to be back at my alma mater 10 years later. I had the best four years of my life playing for Joey. I'm excited to help ensure these young ladies have the same experience and leave here with the same love for Baylor that I have always felt. This opportunity is a dream and I will bring my best to it every day.
"I am also very grateful and want to thank Coach [Dean] Orford for his mentoring and guidance. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together at the University of Tulsa over the last six years."
