May 21, 2023 | Men's Tennis
LAKE NONA, Fla. – The University of Georgia men's tennis team will be well represented in this week's NCAA singles and doubles championships, with the nation's No. 2-ranked singles player Ethan Quinn set to join Trent Bryde in doubles and Philip Henning in singles.
Action is slated to begin Monday morning at the USTA National Campus. As the No. 2 overall seed, Quinn will face Luc Fomba from TCU at 9 a.m. ET, before Henning battles Miami's Dan Martin at 2 p.m. ET in first-round singles action.
On Tuesday, the No. 4-seeded Bulldog duo of Bryde and Quinn face Garrett Johns and Pedro Rodenas from Duke in the Round of 32.
Quinn — who went an impressive 20-7 against nationally ranked foes this year — is the fifth Georgia player in program history seeded No. 1 or 2 in the NCAA singles championship. He joins an elite group that includes Mikael Pernfors in 1985, Al Parker in 1991, Matias Boeker in 2002 and John Isner in 2006 and 2007.
Henning enters the individual championships after compiling a 17-7 record at the second singles spot, which included a perfect 10-0 mark against SEC competition in the regular season. Henning is making his third appearance in the NCAA singles field after advancing to the second round last year.
In doubles, Bryde and Quinn formed a formidable pair this season and enter the NCAA doubles championship having won seven-straight matches. The tandem boasted a 22-14 overall record, which included a 17-9 mark at the No. 1 court. They also teamed together for 12 ranked victories.
A Bulldog has won the NCAA singles championship four times (Pernfors in 1984 and 1985; Boeker in 2001 and 2002). Georgia has claimed the doubles title on three occasions - Ola Malmqvist and Allen Miller in 1983, Boeker and Travis Parrott in 2001, and Isner and Antonio Ruiz in 2005.
