Macon, Ga. -- Following two, straight-set victories at the No.1 and No.2 singles positions, ETSU's Predrag Burmazovic has been selected at the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week, league officials announced today.

Burmazovic, a junior, business major, earned his No.1 singles win in conference action against Mercer's Tobias Ohrstrom (6-3, 6-3) and then moved to No.2 singles to best UAB's Johannes Spangenberg (6-4, 6-3).

The honor is the first of its kind of Burmazovic, and marks the fifth time this season that a ETSU student-athlete has been selected at the POTW this season.
