LSU's legendary men's tennis coach, W.T. Robinson, or "Dub" as he was lovingly known, single-handedly acted as a catalyst in the LSU tennis program's rise to national prominence. In his nearly three decades as the head tennis coach at LSU, Robinson accumulated an unforeseen 189-180-9 overall record and propelled the Tigers to a status among the nation's elite.

Working with limited resources and a financially-deprived tennis program, LSU's rise to the top of collegiate tennis can be traced back to Robinson's warm personality and quick wit. Always a favorite among his players, Robinson transformed a team that had not won a match in three years, into a team that finished with a 12-1 record and a second-place finish in the Southeastern Conference in only his sixth season at the helm.

When the LSU tennis complex was completed in the fall of 1976, it was only natural that it was named after the person that built the program. The complex was named the W.T. "Dub" Robinson Tennis Stadium.
