Klingemann earns his second weekly distinction of the season after helping the No. 3 Buckeyes clinch the outright 2007 Big Ten regular season title Sunday with a win over No. 17 Michigan. Klingemann teamed with fellow senior Devin Mullings to upset the nation's fourth-ranked doubles team of Matko Maravic and Brian Hung, 9-8. The Buckeye senior also won his two singles matches on the weekend against Michigan's Andrew Mazlin and Penn State's Ryan Gormley. With a 21-1 singles record this season, Klingemann boasts the best winning percentage in the conference.

His performance helped Ohio State clinch an unbeaten record in conference play for the second-consecutive season. OSU has not lost a Big Ten match since a 4-2 setback against Illinois in the 2005 Big Ten Tournament Championship. This marks the third career selection for Klingemann and fifth for the Buckeyes this season.
