Nuez To Play No. 7 Seed in NCAA Singles Championship
5/19/2019 5:50:00 PM | Men's Tennis
ORLANDO, Fla. – After a month off, senior tennis player Guanarteme Nuez is set to get back on the court, competing in the 2019 NCAA Singles Championship at 6:30 p.m. Eastern on Monday (May 20) at the USTA National Campus.
Â
Nuez, the No. 94 ranked player in the country, will take on the tournament's No. 7 Seed Aleksandar Kovacevic, out of the University of Illinois. Kovacevic is currently ranked No. 10 in the ITA National Polls. Kovacevic is 19-3 in dual play with a 17-3 record on court one.
Â
Nuez enters the 64-man single elimination competition with a 13-7 record this spring, while going 13-3 on court one. The two-time First Team All-Conference selection and 2018 Sun Belt Player of the Year, picked up his second nod for the NCAA Singles Championship and will look to build upon his outing a year ago.
Â
Last year, Nuez found himself against the No. 7 seed Borna Gojo from Wake Forest, losing 6-3, 6-4 in Winston-Salem.
Â
On top of being selected First Team All-Conference this season, Nuez has already competed against a handful of participants in this season's NCAA Singles Championship.
Â
The NCAA Championship will run from May 20 to May 25 with winners of best-of-three set matches playing one match per day. Live stats will be available by clicking this link.
