September 06, 2022 | Men's Tennis
ATHENS, Ga. — University of Georgia redshirt freshman Ethan Quinn's successful summer has been rewarded, appearing as the top player in the Preseason Intercollegiate Tennis Association Newcomer Rankings, which were released on Tuesday morning. He is joined by fifth year Philip Henning, leading the team in the singles rankings at No. 26, and four other Bulldogs.
Henning is joined in the singles rankings by fifth year No. 73 Trent Bryde, fifth year transfer No. 93 Teodor Giusca and fifth year No. 117 Blake Croyder. Henning and Bryde make up the lone tandem in the doubles rankings for UGA, slotting at No. 18.
Quinn impressed over the past few months, highlighted by a win over Ernesto Escobedo, ranked No. 175 in the Association of Tennis Professionals, in the opening round of the US Open men's singles qualifying draw.
The Fresno, California native earned his spot in the US Open claiming the United States Tennis Association Boys' 18 National Championship in doubles on Saturday, August 15, making the main draw along with partner Nicholas Godsick, and in the Singles Qualifying Draw after and finishing as a finalist in singles on August 16. Quinn also went 3-0 this summer against players currently ranked No. 1-3 in the ITA rankings, including two victories against No. 1 ranked Stefan Dostanic from USC.
The Bulldogs return six members of the 2021-22 team that finished as the 11th-ranked team in the ITA Team rankings and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. The team holds vast experience and talent, with the returning athletes having defeated a combined 15 ranked opponents last season.
Georgia will open its fall schedule in just 10 days, beginning with the Southern Intercollegiate Championships at its home venue in the Dan Magill Tennis Complex on September 16, with members of Texas, USC and Virginia's teams coming to compete in the tournament.
