University of Tennessee Athletics
Monday Named to SEC Community Service Team
April 14, 2022 | Men's Tennis
Tennessee men's tennis sophomore Johannus Monday has been named to the SEC Community Service team, the conference announced Thursday.
Having been on Rocky Top for just under two years, Monday has already made an impactful difference both on the court for the Vols and in the Knoxville community.
In the fall of 2021, the University of Tennessee Athletics Department selected Monday as part of its VOLeaders Academy Class of 2021-22. Majoring in political science, Monday joined the largest ever VOLeaders cohort, which is comprised of 45 student-athletes that represent each of Tennessee's 20 varsity sports. The year-long leadership curriculum begins annually starting with the Fall semester and concludes with an international cultural exchange trip in the summer.
As part of his weekly VOLeaders experience, Monday, a native of Hull, England, teaches the ins and outs of tennis to attendees at a kids' tennis clinic each week. In the fall of 2021, Monday also donated his time by serving at a local Knoxville school, where he helped run P.E. classes during the week. The VOLeaders group also participates in team-building activities, such as when Monday and the group participated in a blind-folded kickball game earlier this spring.
On court as a Vol, Monday has logged a 52-15 overall singles record, including a 35-9 mark (12-3 SEC) in dual matches. Monday has also seen great success in doubles, registering a 43-18 overall tally through nearly two seasons of action, which includes a 32-11 (7-4 SEC) record in dual matches.
Monday and the fifth-ranked Vols host Alabama this Friday, April 15 at 4 p.m. ET, before Tennessee's Senior Day on Sunday against Auburn at 1 p.m. ET. The SEC Tournament begins next Wednesday, running April 20-24.
