Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame

Scott Humphries, Class of 2011




Born and raised in Greeley, Scott Humphries is one of the greatest tennis players our state has ever produced. Scott first started playing with fellow Colorado Tennis Hall of Famer Sherrie Farris.

 

A member of Team Colorado, he finished the year No. 1 in the nation at age 12. He also won the 12s national championships in singles and doubles. Scott moved to California before relocating to the Palmer Tennis Academy at Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa.

 

Scott would go on to win several national doubles titles alongside longtime partner, BJ Stearns. In 1994, he became the first American in more than a dozen years to capture the Boys' Wimbledon Championship.

 

After becoming an All-American at Stanford, Scott left to compete on the ATP tour. He focused exclusively on doubles, following two elbow surgeries at the age of 21. His professional career includes 11 tour finals, a semifinal appearance at the Australian Open, and a quarterfinal appearance at Wimbledon with Justin Gimelstob.

 

After his professional career, Scott worked with American Mardy Fish and later with former world No. 1, Jelena Jankovic.
