Tomm Warneke (born October 9, 1961) is a former professional tennis player and coaches from Florida.
The son of a geologist, Warneke is the youngest of five brothers, along with his twin.[1] He started playing tennis aged six and throughout the age groups was consistently the top ranked player in Florida.[2] [3] In 1979 he was a member of the American Junior Davis Cup team. A graduate of Santa Fe High School, he took up a scholarship to Trinity University in Texas and completed a degree in business administration, while earning multiple All-American honours for his tennis.[1] [4]
Warneke, who turned professional in 1984, had a game more suited to doubles so it was in that format that he had more success.[3] He made his only Grand Prix final in the doubles event at the 1985 South Australian Open, when he and Brazilian Nelson Aerts finished runners-up.[5] He won two ATP Challenger doubles titles in 1985. At Grand Slam level he managed to reach the quarter-finals of the 1986 US Open with Michael Robertson.[3] He reached his highest doubles ranking of 43 in the world in 1987.
He twice qualified for the main singles draw at a Grand Slam tournament. At the 1985 French Open he made it through in the opening round with a four-set win over Pablo Arraya, then was eliminated by Marcos Hocevar in the second round, after another four-set match.[6] He was drawn against 15th seed Brad Gilbert in the first round of the 1986 US Open and was unable to cause an upset, despite winning the opening set then being a break and 40-love up in the second.[3]
After his touring career ended, Warneke was involved in coaching.[7] He was the Director of Tennis at the Saw Mill Woodlake club in Lakeland and taught at the Rick Macci Tennis Academy at Grenelefe Resort in Haines City.[7] Following that he was Head of Tennis at the Palm Coast Players Club, then in 1993 was appointed Director of Tennis at Lakeland's Grasslands Golf and Country Club.[7]
