The Bears only NCAA singles champion (in 1925 and 1926, as well as champion in doubles 1926), Chandler graduated from Cal in 1926 and immediately started playing on the men's tennis tour. In a couple of months, he reached No. 5 on the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association's national rank list and being rated as one of the best players in the country. He retired from playing on the tour when he commenced his studies at Harvard Law School.
In 1929, Chandler returned to the Bay Area and resumed his tennis career by claiming the 1930 and 1932 California Singles Championships. He paired with former Cal teammate Gerald Stratford to win the 1939 state doubles title and took home ten national titles over the next 40 years, including the USTA National Indoor Doubles championships in 1970 and 1980.
He was an inaugural inductee into Cal's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1986 and he was also inducted into the Northern California Tennis Hall of Fame in 1974 and the Intercollegiate Tennis Hall of Fame in 1985.
