NCAA men's tennis champion Steve Johnson was spotted in the lobby of Heritage Hall Thursday. He's back in town after a great experience in New York the past two weeks cutting his teeth against the game's best.
In his U.S. Open singles debut, Johnson raced out to a two sets to love lead over countryman Alex Bogomolov Jr., but the Trojan lost the marathon match in five.
However, he bounced back to grab a pair of wins in mixed doubles teaming up with young American Irina Falconi, including knocking out the #2 seed, before a close 5-7, 5-7 loss to a Czech tandem.
The senior will join his national champion teammates on the Heritage Hall steps on September 17 at 3 p.m. for a third straight ring ceremony. Take a break from your Syracuse tailgates and greet the three-peaters.
