Queens University of Charlotte has officially announced the promotion of Alexandra Leatu to Director of Tennis. Leatu, who was named head women's tennis coach in the summer of 2022, will now oversee both the men's and women's programs in her expanded leadership role.

The 2024-25 season marked Leatu's first as head coach of the men's program, where she immediately made an impact. Under her leadership, the Royals produced an All-ASUN First Team selection, an ASUN All-Freshman Team honoree, and an Academic All-ASUN recipient.
 
On the women's side, Leatu has cultivated both competitive and academic success. In February, Lucy Hogan became the first player in program history to be named ASUN Player of the Week since Queens transitioned to Division I. During the 2022 season, four Royals earned CSC Academic All-District honors, and an ASUN All-Academic Team recipient.
 
Leatu's coaching background includes stints at Weatherford College and Georgia State University, where she led the Panthers to a Sun Belt Tournament appearance in 2019. As an assistant, Leatu helped the Panthers win a Sun Belt Conference Championship. The program also earned Georgia State's and the Sun Belt's Highest GPA Award with her on staff. Leatu began her collegiate coaching career at the University of New Haven.
 
As a student-athlete, Leatu began her career at Vanderbilt, earning Second Team All-SEC and SEC All-Tournament honors while competing at No. 1 singles and doubles and ranking inside the ITA top 75. She later transferred to Baylor, where she won three Big 12 Conference titles and helped the Bears reach a top 15 national ranking.
 
Prior to college, Leatu won three national titles in singles and in doubles, two silver balls in USTA doubles play, and a bronze ball in USTA singles. She also won two ITF Grade 3 tournaments.
 
Leatu holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism, public relations, and new media from Baylor and a master’s degree in communication from Georgia State.
