CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia men’s tennis junior Dylan Dietrich has been named the ACC Men’s Tennis Player of the Year in honors announced Thursday (April 23) by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Additionally, Dietrich and sophomore Keegan Rice were named to the All-ACC First Team for singles with freshman Andres Santamarta Roig earning third-team honors.
Dietrich appeared twice in the doubles awards, earning first-team honors with senior Måns Dahlberg and third-team honors with sophomore Stiles Brockett.
Dietrich currently sits atop the ITA singles rankings following a regular season campaign that saw him earn a 9-0 mark in conference singles matches, as well as a 19-1 record in the greater dual match season. He went 5-3 in ACC doubles play and was a three-time ACC Player of the Week.
Dietrich is the seventh player in program history to earn Player of the Year honors, joining Brian Vahaly (2000, 2001), Somdev Devvarman (2008), Jarmere Jenkins (2012), Alex Domijan (2014), Carl Soderlund (2019, 2021) and Inaki Montes (2022).
Rice earned his first All-ACC singles honor. He led the Cavaliers in conference singles victories with a 10-0 record, going 16-2 overall this season.
Santamarta Roig also earned his first All-ACC singles honor. Like Dietrich and Rice, he was undefeated in conference singles play, posting an 8-0 mark. A January addition, Santamarta Roig went 14-4 this season with three ranked wins.
As a doubles team, Dietrich and Dahlberg went 12-0 in the fall en route to being crowned the NCAA Doubles Champions. The pair picked up one dual match victory together to improve their record to 13-0 and are currently ranked No. 12 in the ITA doubles rankings.
Dietrich and Brockett were 9-4 this season playing on doubles courts one and two with four ranked wins.
All-ACC honors are determined by a vote of the league’s head coaches.
