From the 2008 Hall of Fame program:

Robbie Weiss holds the distinction of being the only Pepperdine student-athlete to capture an individual NCAA championship, as the won the men’s tennis singles crown in 1988.
 
Weiss arrived at Pepperdine having already put together an impressive tennis record, as he was a member of the 1984 junior Davis Cup team and won 13 national junior titles, including the 1984 Wimbledon Junior Doubles crown.
 
The accolades continued during his four seasons (1985-88) at Pepperdine, as he earned All-American honors twice (1986 and 1988) as well as his national championship. He won the West Coast Conference singles title in 1985 and 1988 and won the doubles title with partner Andrew Sznajder in 1987. The 1986 Waves reached the finals of the NCAA team tournament and made it to the quarterfinals in each of his other three seasons. He still ranks #2 all-time at Pepperdine with 83 career wins. During his national championship season, he put together a record of 26-2, good for a .929 winning percentage.
 
Weiss went on to play professionally and was a member of the ATP Tour for seven years. In 1990, he defeated Jamie Yzaga in the Sao Paolo men’s singles final in Brazil. This was soon followed by three more titles in the singles Challenger Series in 1992, 1993, and 1995, and he was a runner-up in four others. He also played in the Main Singles Draw at Wimbledon and the U.S., French, and Australian Opens.
 
Weiss ranked as high as #85 in the world in singles. He posted wins over such celebrated players as Stefan Edberg, Boris Becker, Ivan Lendl, and Patrick Rafter, who are all former World No. 1 ranked players.
 
Weiss would then go into coaching, having served as an assistant coach at Pepperdine and Georgia Tech and was most recently the head women’s coach at Cornell. During his one-year stint with the Waves in 1997, he completed his degree in English.
 
Earlier this year, Weiss was inducted into the ITA Men’s Tennis Hall of Fame.
 
He currently lives in Atlanta, Ga., and plans to continue coaching in college tennis.
