Matt Lucena (born August 4, 1969) is a former professional tennis player from the United States. He won the mixed doubles title at the 1995 US Open.[1]

College years[edit]

Lucena played tennis for UC Berkeley from 1988 to 1992. He and Doug Eisenman were NCAA doubles champions in 1990 and with a new partner, Bent-Ove Pedersen in 1991, Lucena went back to back. A three-time All-American, he didn't drop a set in either year.[2]

Professional career[edit]

The highlight of Lucena's professional career was winning the 1995 US Open mixed doubles title, partnering Meredith McGrath.[2] Unseeded, the pair had never played together previously.[3] He twice made the quarter-finals of the men's doubles at the US Open, in 1991 with his UC Berkeley teammate Pedersen and in 1993 with Brian MacPhie.[2] He won one ATP Tour doubles title, at St. Poelten in 1995, as well as four ATP Challenger titles.[2]
