This page is a tribute to professionals who live the Court to Clinic mission. Through their stories, we hope to inspire student-athletes to play with heart, recover with intention, and perform with purpose.
Nicholas Monroe
Former ATP Pro | Doubles Specialist | UNC Tennis Legend
Nick Monroe is the kind of player who defines perseverance, humility, and high-level performance. With a career-high ATP doubles ranking of World No. 30 and four ATP Tour titles under his belt, he’s played on some of the biggest stages in the world. But what makes Nick more than just a decorated pro is the way he approached every chapter of his tennis life, with integrity, discipline, and respect for the physical and mental demands of the sport. A former UNC standout, Ben was recognized not just for his athletic excellence, including being a 2x All-American and earning over 100 career singles wins, but for his leadership and sportsmanship, winning both national and regional Arthur Ashe Awards. That mindset extended into his professional career, where he became a trusted partner and tactician on the doubles court.
Even after retiring from tour, Ben continued to shape the game by coaching top players like Jack Sock and mentoring young athletes off-season, teaching them how to navigate training, recovery, and mindset from the inside out. His support of From Court to Clinic comes from lived experience. He knows what it’s like to push the body to its limit, and he’s a believer in the value of science, recovery, and education in every athlete’s journey.
“If I had access to this kind of resource when I was grinding it out on tour, I know it would’ve helped me stay healthier, perform better, and extend my career.” – Nick Monroe

Deven Bapat
Player Development Specialist | SEC Champion Coach | Performance Mentor
This coach doesn’t just believe in the mission, he lives it every day on court. A former player himself and now a coach and hitting partner, he helped guide the Texas A&M women’s tennis team to an SEC Championship, earning his own championship ring as a symbol of the commitment he brought to the team. More than a coach, he’s a teacher, someone who integrates sports science, injury prevention, movement efficiency, and recovery strategies into every session with his players. He brings the From Court to Clinic philosophy directly into his coaching: teaching his players how to train smarter, move more efficiently, and recover with intention. His athletes don’t just win, they grow in knowledge, resilience, and self-awareness. Whether he’s running hitting drills, breaking down match footage, or talking through nutrition and rest, his coaching is rooted in empathy and understanding, because he knows firsthand what it’s like to live through the highs and lows of student-athlete life.
“Performance isn’t just about how hard you grind, it’s about knowing when to push, when to pull back, and how to take care of your body and mind. That’s what this mission is all about, and I’m proud to be part of it.” – Deven Bapat
