Tulsa, Okla. - Wake Forest seniors Andrew Hamar and Todd Paul were knocked out of the main draw at the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla., on Thursday.

In singles, 14th-ranked Todd Paul was ousted by 26th-ranked Greg Ouelette of Florida, 6-4, 6-2. In the consolation bracket, Paul rebounded with a resounding victory over NC State's Nick Cavaday, 6-4, 7-6 (0). Paul will face Nicholas Delgado of Virginia Tech's on Friday.
