“Pepe comes to Princeton as a highly recommended coach, so I am confident his professional experience on and off the court will make him a positive addition to our program,” Sell said. “We are very lucky to have him join the program and I am excited for our current players to benefit from his coaching and leadership. He will be an integral part of our success this year.”

A native of Spain, Caballero had a successful collegiate career at New Mexico, twice earning All-America honors as well as all-conference plaudits in both singles and doubles.
