Professional tennis player and former Alabama All-American Robin Stephenson is in her third season as a volunteer assistant coach for the Georgia Tech women's tennis team.

Stephenson's experience and talent were great assets to the Yellow Jackets in 2006, as she helped guide Georgia Tech to its first NCAA Title in any sport. Prior to her arrival, the Yellow Jackets had yet to advance past the Round of 16 at the NCAA Championships, but in her first season as an assistant on Bryan Shelton's staff, Georgia Tech captured its third Atlantic Coast Conference title as well as the ITA National Indoor Team Championship in addition to the NCAA Title.

Stephenson competed for the Tide from 2002-06 and reached as high as No. 4 in the ITA Singles Rankings during her senior season. She set the school record for most singles wins in a career (95) and is also a part of the school's top doubles tandem in history, earning 67 victories with teammate Ashley Bentley in her four years. A three-time participant in the NCAA Singles Championships and two-time competitor in the NCAA Doubles Championship, Stephenson was named the 2005 ITA South Region Player to Watch and 2006 ITA South Region Senior Player of the Year.

Since graduating from Alabama with her degree in 2006, Stephenson has been playing professional tennis full time, winning nine doubles titles and advancing to the finals in six other doubles championships. She has also been a semifinalist on three occasions in singles, and nine others in doubles. Stephenson won her first WTA doubles title in a 10K Hilton Head tournament in 2005, knocking off the top three seeds of the tournament in the final three rounds to win the championship. By the middle of 2008, Stephenson had reached as high as No. 158 in the world in doubles and was rated in the top-450 in singles, according to the WTA.

A native of Kitchener, Ontario, Stephenson, 23, graduated from Alabama with a degree in communication and information sciences and a minor in psychology.
