March 08, 2023 | Men's Tennis
ATHENS, Ga. – For the second time this season, University of Georgia men's tennis redshirt freshman Ethan Quinn has earned Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors, the league office announced on Wednesday.
The lone freshman in the SEC with multiple wins on court one, Quinn went undefeated during the team's first two conference matches, notching a pair of wins in singles and one in doubles. The Fresno, Calif. is the first Georgia player to earn the honors multiple times in a season since Philip Henning did so on March 6 and April 16, 2019.
"We knew Ethan would settle into playing college tennis and would be a great player for us," said head coach Manny Diaz. "It's certainly great to see him play in a few complete matches this past weekend. We know he carries a big load by playing No. 1 as a freshman, but that's why he came to Georgia. We never doubted his ability to be resourceful and tough. We knew that he would find his groove and get back to the top of his game again."
Quinn clinched the doubles point for Georgia in the Bulldogs' first match of the weekend against No. 59 Alabama on Thursday, March 2. Along with partner Trent Bryde, the pair notched their third point-clinching win of the season against Enzo Aguiard and Filip Planinsek by a 6-4 score. The two picked up their 10th doubles win together with the victory. No. 19 Bryde and Quinn went unfinished on Saturday against No. 14 Auburns' No. 46 Rual Dobai and Finn Murgett but led 6-5 when the Bulldogs clinched the doubles point.
During singles competition against No. 51 Aguiard, No. 4 Quinn picked up the final win of the day for the Bulldogs in a 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-3 decision, allowing the team to defeat the Crimson Tide by a 6-1 score. This marked the first three-set win of the spring for the redshirt freshman.
Quinn would finish the weekend against the Tigers' No. 103 Tyler Stice on court one, earning the second match-clinching win of his collegiate career with a straight-set 6-4, 6-3 victory. After the two ranked singles wins, he stands 12-6 against ranked opponents this year and is now the No. 2 singles player in the country.
The Bulldogs will return to the Dan Magill Tennis Complex for a match against No. 39 Texas A&M on March 9 and against No. 56 Vanderbilt on March 11. Admission for all matches at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex is free of charge for all fans to attend.
