Steve Johnson is a collegiate player who seems unstoppable at the moment. Johnson is from USC and has been able to amass 59 consecutive match wins.
Johnson, a senior who has competed on the ATP tour when not in school, says he stayed at USC for his senior year to help the Trojans to their fourth straight team title. “He is, for sure, a top-100 player,” USC coach Peter Smith told the LA Times. After that, it’s up to him.”
It really amazes me how professional college sports has become in the USA. Here is a video that outlines the professionalism. This is a recap of the recent college match between Georgia Tennis and Vanderbilt.
Back in the USA the University of Southern California and Tennessee will face off in the NCAA Men’s tennis final.
USC, the defending champion and No. 5 seed, beat top-seeded Virginia 4-2 in the semifinals on Monday and will face No. 2 seed Tennessee for the championship on Tuesday. Tennessee beat host Georgia 4-1.
Meanwhile, Florida will face Stanford in the women’s final on Tuesday. Florida beat North Carolina 4-0. Stanford beat Notre Dame 4-1.
