BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M's Tiago Pires was named the SEC Co-Freshman of the Week after registering a perfect 3-0 singles record and a pair of doubles victories to begin the spring, the league announced Wednesday.
Â
The Paris native's week was highlighted by a ranked singles victory over No. 112 Cyrus Mahjoob of Georgia. Pires dominated the third set over Mahjoob, 6-3, which helped Texas A&M triumph over the then-No. 19 Bulldogs, 4-2, for the final spot in the 2024 ITA National Indoor Championship.
Â
Pires is the first Aggie to claim the conference freshman of the week honors since current teammate Giulio Perego did it three times during the 2021-22 campaign. He is 5-1 in singles action on the year and owns a pair of doubles victories.

No. 14 Texas A&M makes its first appearance of the spring at home on Friday at 12 p.m. against SMU (5-2). The Aggies boast a perfect 4-0 record thus far with three wins over power-conference opponents, including victories over conference foes Auburn (4-2) and Georgia.
