Head Coach

Granville
Laura Granville, a four-time Ivy League Coach of the Year and a nine-year WTA Tour player who advanced in all four major tournaments, is in her eighth season as Princeton's women's tennis coach in 2019-20.
Through her first seven seasons, Granville has led Princeton to 107 dual-match wins, already making her the second-winningest coach in program history. In the 2014 dual-match season and again in the 2019 season, Princeton won 19 matches, the second-most in program history after the 20 won by the 2010 team. In 2014, Granville guided Princeton to its first-ever NCAA tournament match victory, a 4-3 decision over No. 25 Arizona State to give Princeton its first victory over an ITA top-25 team since 2010. The Tigers then took No. 2 Alabama to the limit, coming within two third sets of knocking off the Crimson Tide on their home court with a place in the NCAA Round of 16 on the line. Five years later in 2019, Princeton again won an NCAA tournament match, defeating No. 27 Northwestern 4-1.
