Jonathan Jemison Tabbed For UAA Men's Tennis Award

Emory senior Jonathan Jemison (Marietta, GA) has been recognized by the University Athletic Association as Men's Tennis Athlete of the Week after helping the Eagles to a pair of wins over South Region foes.  It is the fourth time during the 2018-19 campaign and 11th occasion in his career that he has received the honor.

Jemison teamed with classmate Adrien Bouchet to go 2-0 at No. 1 doubles while coming away with one win in his lone action at No. 1 singles.

In a 7-2 outcome over Sewanee, Jemison and Bouchet played their way to an 8-6 verdict over Aubrey Davis and Jordan Brewer. The Eagles' duo followed that with a decisive 8-3 win the following day against Washington and Lee's Bobby Neuner and Mitchell Thomas. It added to Jemison's school record of 99 doubles wins during his career. In singles, Jemison earned a 6-3, 7-5 decision over Harry Shepherd, boosting his season slate to 19-3. In addition, it allowed Jemison to move into fifth place on the program's all-time ladder with 92 singles wins.  Emory bettered the Generals by an 8-1 count.

The wins over Sewanee and W&L raised Emory's dual mark to 14-2.
