TULSA, Okla. - Romain Bogaerts won his fall debut in the main draw the ITA All-American Championships to advance to the round of 32 as he led Wake Forest men's tennis.

Bogaerts, ranked No. 20 nationally, earned the straight-sets victory, beating Wagner 6-2, 6-4.
The Belgium native takes on All-American and No. 3-ranked Axel Alvarez Llamas from Oklahoma tomorrow at approximately 11 a.m. ET.
After earning six straight wins to advance out of pre-qualifiers and qualifiers, Jon Ho fell in the opening round of the main draw.
