For the third time in his career, University of Hawai‘i men's tennis player Sascha Heinemann was named the Western Athletic Conference men's tennis player of the week for the week of Jan. 7 to 13. This is Heinemann's first honor this season.
In the Rainbow Warriors' home opener last Thursday, the junior from Eschwege, Germany, put up a prolific performance against No. 13 Alabama, earning a victory at the No. 1 singles position. Heinemann beat No. 98 Mathieu Thibaudeau of Alabama in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.
His singles win was one of two wins Hawai‘i picked up against the powerhouse Crimson Tide. Heinemann, ranked No. 50 in the ITA preseason rankings, leads the team with an 11-4 singles record on the season.
The Rainbow Warriors jump back into action on Jan. 18, as they face No. 18 Florida State of the Atlantic Coast Conference. First serve is set for 3 p.m. at the UH Tennis Complex.
