Virginia men’s tennis sophomore Iñaki Montes (Pamplona, Spain) has been named the ACC Men’s Tennis Player of the Week.

Montes went 2-0 in singles last week, including picking up a straight-set victory against No. 17 Henry von der Schulenburg of Harvard while playing at No. 1 singles. It was the highest-ranked opponent Montes has defeated in his collegiate career. Montes also had a 6-3, 6-0 victory on the No. 2 court in the Cavaliers’ season-opener against Liberty and went 3-0 in doubles.

This is the second time in Montes’ career he has been named the ACC Player of the Week after earning that honor last season (Apr. 6). Montes also earned the ACC Doubles Team of the Week honor twice last season (Mar. 20 and Apr. 6).
