The 2010 SEC West Champion Ole Miss men's tennis team is well-represented in the final Campbell/ITA National Rankings released Monday by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association with two singles players and one doubles team.



Rising junior Marcel Thiemann earned a final ranking of No. 19 in the nation in singles.  He had an excellent sophomore campaign, becoming the 25th All-American in the history of the program.  The Lehrte, Germany native finished the year with a 27-14 overall record, 15-8 in dual matches.  With senior Kalle Norberg out for the year with an injury, Thiemann made the jump to No. 1 singles after playing No. 6 as a freshman and earned All-SEC first team honors.  He won five of his last six, before losing to the eventual national champion in the NCAA Singles Quarterfinals.



Marcel also teamed up with his brother, Chris Thiemann, to finish No. 24 in the doubles rankings.



"I am extremely proud of this young squad, especially the Thiemann's," head coach Billy Chadwick said.  "Marcel had a great run at the NCAAs and established himself as one of the top players in the nation.  In doubles, the twins (Marcel and Chris) qualified for the NCAA Championship and they went 10-1 in SEC play."



Upcoming senior Tucker Vorster earned a final ranking of No. 82 in singles.  He posted a 28-14 overall record, 10-5 at No. 2 singles.



"Tucker is one of the most improved players in the country. He has fought injuries the first two years and been limited to doubles.  This past year he made All-SEC and was a major contributor in both singles and doubles.  We are very excited about the upcoming year."



The Rebels ended the 2010 season at No. 19 in the final team rankings after earning their 17th consecutive NCAA appearance and winning their ninth straight SEC West title.
