APSU's Dimitar Ristovski

Since losing to Louisville’s No. 5 ranked Sebastian Stiefelmeyer (6-3, 6-1), February 14th, Ristovski has won seven of his last eight matches at the No. 1 position.

His only loss in that stretch was to Robert Skolik (7-6, 6-4) of Eastern Illinois.

Friday, Ristovski defeated Morehead State’s Ritchie Krunnenberg (3-6, 6-1, 6-2), with whom he shared this week’s award, leading the Govs to a 4-1 victory.

The Skopje, Macedonia native followed up that effort with a singles victory over Alex Avaro (7-6 (8), 6-4) and teamed with fellow senior Iago Seffrin to claim an 8-7 (3) triumph at No. 1 doubles in a 5-2 victory over Eastern Kentucky.

Ristovski is the first Gov to take home a weekly award in 2015 and this marks the second time he has claimed the award. Seffrin was the last Gov to earn the honor when he won the award for the week of April 8th, 2014.

Ristovski and the rest of the Govs return to action 10:00am, Friday, when they host Belmont in an OVC match.
