Peter Doohan

A member of the 2025 Posthumous Class, Doohan was arguably the greatest player in the history of Arkansas’ program as a six-time All-American, the NCAA doubles champion with Pat Sarret in 1982 and the winner of the 1982 ITA All-American singles tournament. Doohan was a two-time Southwest Conference champion at No. 1 doubles and a SWC singles champ at Nos. 2 and 3 when conferences did tournaments for each of the singles and doubles spots. He upset two-time defending champion and world No. 1 Boris Becker in the second round at Wimbledon in 1987 to earn the nickname “The Becker Wrecker.” Doohan reached a high of No. 43 in the world in singles and No. 15 in doubles, winning one ATP singles title and five in doubles. Doohan, from Australia, died in 2017 from ALS at age 56.
