Updated through the 2007 season

• The first Hope College men's tennis match with an outside opponent occurred in 1916 against Grand Rapids YMCA.
• In a sport dominated so long by one team, Hope has the distinction of being up to the challenge. While MIAA member Kalamazoo College has won every conference title since 1936, the Flying Dutchmen on two occasions have forced a seasonal co-championship. In 1962, Hope stopped Kalamazoo's dual meet winning streak at 155 in-a-row, edging the Hornets 4-3. Over the next 41 years Kalamazoo strung together 241 consecutive dual meet victories but again it was Hope ending it with a convincing 7-2 triumph on April 15, 2003.
• Lawrence "Doc" Green guided Hope's tennis fortunes for more than two decades until his untimely death on January 24, 1982. His teams had only five losing campaigns over 22 seasons, compiling an 84-24 record in league matches. A member of the Hope faculty since 1952, he also served as Hope's athletic trainer and had stints as the cross country and track & field coach. The MIAA named a student-scholar award in his honor.
• In 1969 seniors Doug Barrow '69 and Ron Visscher '69 finished fourth at the NCAA College Division tournament.. A three-time All-MIAA honoree, Visscher holds the Hope career record for singles victories (62-22).
• Dan Mann '03 is the only Hope player in MIAA men's tennis history to receive All-MIAA first team honors four consecutive years (2000-2003). As a junior he received the league's sportsmanship award and as a senior was chosen the league's most valuable player.
