Ethan Quinn

Wild Card Georgia Bulldog Teenager Ethan Quinn To Face Former Florida Gator Sekou Begoura In Sunday Mardy Fish Singles Final At The Boulevard

Randy Walker · May 1, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Eighteen-year-old Ethan Quinn of Fresno, Calif., and a redshirt freshman at the University of Georgia, will face 30-year-old former Florida Gator standout Sekou Bangoura of Bradenton, Fla., in Sunday’s not-before-2 pm singles final of the $15,000 Mardy Fish Children’s Foundation Tennis Championships USTA Pro Circuit ITF World Tennis Tour.

Quinn, a wild-card entry into the event with an ATP ranking of No. 1085, defeated No. 2 seed and world No. 581 John McNally 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3 in Saturday’s semifinals. Bangoura, a singles and doubles runner-up at this event in 2019, defeated top-seed Liam Draxl of Canada 6-2, 6-4 in the early semifinal.

Quinn served for the match at 5-4 in the second set but double-faulted when holding match point, only to have his serve broken. At 5-5 in the second-set tiebreaker, Quinn threw in another double fault, while McNally, the former Ohio State standout and older brother of WTA doubles star Caty McNally, took advantage of the nerves to force a third-set on the next point. Quinn, however, recalibrated for the third set and closed out the match with a rocket serve and his sling shot forehand.

"I’m a big Ted Lasso fan, I love that show. And Jason Sudeikis reached out and said that he watched, and I was like “Oh, I’m a huge Ted Lasso fan.” So Ted Lasso liked it. So that was cool." - Mardy Fish on his Netflix documentary "Untold: Breaking Point"

"Our last captain was Jim Courier. I was able to watch him as a captain and play for him. It was great for me to understand that there was no scenario that I could be in on the court that he wasn’t as a player." - U.S. Davis Cup Captain Mardy Fish
