Greensboro, N.C. – Georgia Tech senior Guillermo Gomez has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Tennis Player of the Week after defeating a fellow top-25 ranked opponent and leading the Yellow Jackets to a conference win over Florida State.
The 16th-ranked Gomez outlasted FSU’s No. 21 Vahid Mirzadeh by a 6-4, 2-6, 6-0 score on the No. 1 court as the No. 17 Yellow Jackets topped the No. 36 Seminoles by a 6-1 score. Gomez, a native of Alicante, Spain, has moved into sole possession of second place on Georgia Tech’s all-time singles career win list with 103, passing current Yellow Jackets women’s coach Bryan Shelton.
