Emory junior Alex Ruderman has been named the University Athletic Association Men's Tennis Player of the Week after helping the Eagles to three wins over top-10 ranked opponents.

Ruderman posted a 3-0 record at No. 1 singles and a 2-1 slate at No. 1 doubles as Emory  raised its spring record to 12-4. 

Ruderman came through with the match's clinching point in a 5-1 triumph over No. 8 Case Western, defeating Christopher Krimbill, the No. 1-ranked player in the Central Region, 7-5, 7-5. Earlier in the match against the Spartans, Ruderman and junior Ian Wagner combined for a 9-8 victory over CWRU's Louis Stuerke and Krimbill at No. 1 doubles that gave the Eagles a 2-1 lead in the match. 

The following day, Ruderman was one of four Emory victors in singles play, topping Alex Johnston of No. 10 Middlebury, 7-6, 6-4, in a 5-4 Eagles' win.

Ruderman closed out the weekend by providing the clinching point in the team's 5-4 outcome over No. 9 Kenyon College, recording a come-from-behind 6-7, 6-1, 6-2, decision over Michael Razumovsky at No. 1 singles, raising his spring record to 14-2.  Ruderman and Wagner also came through with an 8-3 win over Sam Geier and Tim Rosensteel at No. 1 doubles. 

Emory, ranked No. 7 nationally, returns to action on Saturday, April 5, when it hosts No. 5 Johns Hopkins.
