Tim Tom Gullikson Background

Identical twins from Onalaska, Wisconsin, Tim and
Tom Gullikson played on the professional tennis
tour for more than a decade. Tim won four singles
titles and 16 doubles titles, 10 of them with his
brother, Tom. After retiring in 1986, both
brothers turned their talents to coaching. Tom,
who is Chairman of the Board of the Tim Tom
Gullikson Foundation, served as Davis Cup captain
from 1994 to
1999, winning the prestigious cup in 1995. In
1996, as the men's Olympic coach, Tom guided
Andre Agassi to the gold medal in Atlanta. As
Director of Coaching for USA Tennis he helped
nurture many of the game's future stars, among
them Jennifer Capriati, who made her pro debut
under his tutelage. Tim worked with such stars
as Martina Navratilova, Mary Joe Fernandez and
Aaron Krickstein. At the time of his death on May
3, 1996, from a brain tumor at age 44, Tim was
the coach of Pete Sampras, the worlds No.
1-ranked player. Tim Gullikson used the same
fighting spirit he developed as an athlete for
his courageous battle against brain cancer.
During his illness, he was profoundly moved by
the toll a serious disease could take on both the
patient and the family. It was Tim's wish to
form a foundation to help families in similar
situations by supporting organizations and
individuals devoted to wellness care, education,
and the social and psychological needs of
patients and their families and friends.
