Virginia men’s tennis sophomore Jeffrey von der Schulenburg has been named the ACC Men’s Tennis Player of the Week.
Von der Schulenburg helped No. 8 Virginia pick up a 4-2 road win at No. 12 Kentucky. He defeated No. 9 Gabriel Diallo in three sets, bouncing back from a 6-3 first-set loss to win the next two 7-5, 6-4. It was the highest-ranked opponent von der Schulenburg has played and defeated in his career. It was Diallo’s first loss in a dual match this spring after starting 10-0.
This is von der Schulenburg’s second career ACC Player of the Week honor after earning it last season. He is the fourth different Cavalier to earn the honor this season. UVA players have been named the ACC Player of the Week five times this year with three doubles teams earning that accolade.
