Blaz Rola, a freshman on the No. 4 Ohio State men's tennis team, was named the ITA National Player to Watch, the ITA announced Tuesday. Rola is the first Buckeye in program history to be recognized for such an honor.
The Ptuj, Slovenia, native will begin the singles and doubles portions of the 2011 NCAA Championships Wednesday. Rola, the 2011 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, received the Big Ten conference's automatic bid in the singles competition and is the No. 5 seed. With a team-high 38 victories, he served as the Buckeyes' No. 1 singles player during the NCAA team championships. During the five-match stretch, Rola was 2-1, with two matches going unfinished.
