SAN FRANCISCO – UCLA men's tennis sophomore Evan Zhu has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 30, the conference announced Tuesday.
Zhu did the honor of sending UCLA to the ITA National Indoor Championships, defeating Sergiu Bucur of Utah State on Court 3, 6-4, 6-4, to clinch the ITA Kick-Off final-round win over the Aggies. The singles win was the second of the week for the Irvine, Calif. native, who also topped Lukas Moenter of Loyola Marymount on Court 2, 6-3, 6-2, earlier in the week.
The reigning Pac-12 Doubles Team of the Year also shined during the week, as Zhu-Martin Redlicki won all three of its matches on Court 1. The pair topped Charles Boyce-Moenter of LMU (6-3), David Goulak-Tommy Lam of UC Davis (6-3) and Jaime Barajas-Jose Carvajal of Utah State (6-2).
The honor marks the second of Zhu's career and the 34th all-time nod for UCLA.
