Trophy Case

• A total of 21 different Horned Frogs have earned 44 All-America selections since 1977. Ten different TCU netters have earned multiple selections, led by David Pate and Paul Robinson, who each tallied six.
• Pate was named an All-American in both singles and doubles from 1981-1983. He teamed up with Karl Richter to earn the honors in 1981 and 1982, and played with Corey Wittenberg in 1983. Pate and Richter went on to claim the 1981 NCAA Doubles Championship. As a professional, Pate reached No. 1 in the ATP doubles rankings in 1991.
• Robinson also earned three selections in both singles and doubles from 1994-1996. Robinson teamed up with David Roditi all three years in doubles play.
• Luis Ruette earned four All-America selections, with two each in singles and doubles. Ruette was named a singles All-American in 1990 and 1991, and earned the doubles honors with Sandon Stolle in 1990 and Tony Bujan in 1992.
• Esteban Carril is one of only three former Frogs  (David Pate, Paul Robinson) to be named a singles All-American on three occasions. Carril earned the accolades from 1999-2001. Other players who earned multiple selections include Tony Bujan (3), Clinton Banducci (2), Ashley Fisher (2) and Jason Weir-Smith (2).
• Three different squads in TCU history have had at least three All-Americans named in that season. The 1996 team had four All-Americans, while the 1990 and 2001 squads each had three.
