Freshman Danil Zelenkov earned Atlantic 10 Co-Rookie of the Week honors this past week, after winning in both singles and doubles matches against conference rival VCU.
Zelenkov prevailed in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, at the No. 3 singles position, giving GW their only singles victory in a 4-2 loss against VCU. Zelenkov, while paired with junior Nikita Fomin at No. 2 doubles, won 8-5 to help GW earn the doubles point.
The award marks the fifth straight week now that the rookie has earned the honors, and sets a conference record as his seventh time this season. Zelenkov will enter the A-10 Championship this weekend with an eight-match winning streak in singles and a six-match winning streak at doubles.
The Colonials will try to win the A-10 for the third straight season.
