LOS ANGELES – USC's men's tennis senior Peter Makk (Budapest, Hungary / Csanadi Arpad Sportschool) was named Big Ten Men's Tennis Player of the Week for the week of April 9-16; the conference announced on Wednesday, April 16.
This is the senior's second honor from the Big Ten, as this is the Trojan's second time earning a weekly honor from the conference. Makk snagged two ranked wins in singles and two doubles victories, as he was 4-0 overall during the span of the weekend. In his first appearance of the weekend, USC took on Michigan State, and in his matches, Makk won 6-3 against Baris and Forbes alongside doubles partner, graduate student Tristan Bradley. Makk bested No. 31 Aristotelis Thanos in that match 6-2, 6-3.
In the second matchup of the weekend, the senior earned his recognition as he took another ranked opponent. In doubles – with Bradley – the senior won 6-0 over Michigan's duo of Cooksey and Cairo. Makk also faced the Wolverines's No. 1 player, No. 80 Will Cooksey. The senior cruised to a 6-1, 6-2. That win skyrocketed his personal ITA ranking, as the senior went from No. 23 to the No. 17-ranked player in the country.
The Trojans return to the courts on Friday, April 18, as they take on Nebraska in Lincoln.
