(April 29, 2010) Former Australian Open semifinalist Chanda Rubin and former US Olympic coach Rodney Harmon are going back to school to prepare teenager players for college.

Rubin and Harmon will be teaching this summer at Camp A.C.E., the annual overnight camp run by the United States Tennis Association’s Eastern Section.

Camp A.C.E., which stands for Achieving through Coaching and Education, will be held July 25-31 at Ramapo College of New Jersey. The camp provides players ages 14-17 a week of daily tennis instruction, college admissions counseling, and community activities, geared to helping students continue their success after graduation.

This year marks the 12th anniversary of the camp. In addition to swimming and daily tennis instruction, this year’s camp will feature classes in fitness, nutrition, business etiquette, financial literacy and college preparation and admissions counseling.

Rubin won seven WTA singles titles during her career and was ranked as high as No. 6 in the world after reaching the Australian Open semifinals. In 1995, she set the women’s records for the longest final set at Wimbledon (2 hours and 4 minutes) and the most games in a set (32) in her win over Patricia Hy-Boulais.

Harmon coached the US tennis team at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. He also coached the University of Miami men’s tennis team and was the only African-American man besides Arthur Ashe to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open.
