Biography
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound left-hander rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the third set of the Division 1 state final by winning six straight games and the championship as a junior. Ranked No. 37 nationally by tennisrecruiting.net, Lippert heads into the state tournament as the No. 1 seed in his bid to repeat.
Lippert was one of just two freshmen to qualify for the state tournament, a season in which he posted a 21-10 record and the first of back-to-back third-place finishes. He finished 25-6 as a sophomore, losing in the state semifinals to 2007 NHSCA Senior Athlete of the Year Matt Allare of Kings Mills High, Lippert’s future college teammate at Ohio State University.
As a junior Lippert finished 31-1 with a 29-match winning streak. Lippert owns a 51-22 junior record and was a finalist in the United States Tennis Association under-18 Midwest Winter Championship and the Fall Midwest Indoor Closed events last year.
