St. Bonaventure

Naveen Singh unquestionably put together one of the finest careers in Bonnies men's tennis history, producing a career winning percentage of better than 75 percent.

He was the team's No. 1 for the entirety of his career, beginning in 1991-92 when he played all but one match at the top spot in both singles and doubles. He went 15-6 in singles play that year while posting an 11-3 doubles record, teaming with Thiru Govender, a Class of 2007 Hall of Fame inductee.

As a freshman, he qualified for the ITA Rolex Invitational in both singles and doubles, something he would go on to do his entire Bonaventure career. That season, the Bonnies finished fifth in the Atlantic 10, their best standing to that point in the conference. SBU finished 13-12 that year and would never have a losing record during Singh's career.

Singh would be key to Bona's continued rise even as it saw increased competition with its first schedule against all Division I opponents in 1992-93. The Bonnies would produce an 11-3 team record that year, led by Singh who went 12-2 in singles play and 9-2 in doubles action. Bona did not lose a set in the first 27 matches of the year that season while Singh put on a dominating fall when he recorded a 36-game winning streak.

In 1993-94, Singh again dominated, going 14-5 in singles play and 14-5 in doubles, playing every match at the top spot. His Bonnies went 16-3 that year, setting a team record for wins, and won 53 of 54 possible points during an undefeated fall, ultimately finishing fifth in the A-10 once more.

In the fall of 1994 before his graduation, he would also become the first SBU player in six years to win at the ITA Rolex Invitational, defeating MAAC singles champion Brian McKeever of Manhattan, 6-1, 6-3. His Bona squad went a perfect 7-0 in his final season as a collegiate student-athlete.

A South African native who overcame the injustices of apartheid in his home nation, he also was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic Team and was a team captain for his Bonnies squads.
