SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Mercer’s Nicholas Guillon has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Tennis Player of the Week for all matches played Feb. 27 through March 5. Guillon went 4-0 last week as the Bears swept a pair of matches against The Citadel. Mercer posted a 7-0 win in the match that counted towards the league standings, and claimed a 6-1 victory in a non-conference decision.

Later that day, Guillon moved to No. 2 singles and posted a 6-3, 6-4 win over Noah Nawabi to run his singles record to 10-1 this spring. The Draveil, France, native has won eight straight singles matches and is 4-0 at the top singles position.

Paired with Fernando Guardia in doubles play, the team of Guillon and Guardia went 2-0, posting a pair of wins over The Citadel’s Connor Grady and Noah Nawabi. Mercer’s duo topped the Bulldogs, 6-1 in the opening match and claimed a 6-3 decision in the afternoon session.
