Deacs Wrap Up 13-Match Homestand
• After an 18-4 start, No. 10 Wake Forest finishes a season-long, 13-match homestand on Sunday with matches against Clemson and South Carolina State.
• The Demon Deacons are slated to take on the Tigers at 1 p.m. before facing the Bulldogs at 5 p.m.
Last Time Out
• Playing without senior All-American Romain Bogaerts, Wake Forest won two home matches last Friday, blanking both Pfeiffer and Boston College by scores of 7-0. The Deacs then shut out No. 38 Notre Dame and Morehead State on Sunday in Bogaerts' return.
• The Deacs have now recorded five-consecutive shutout wins for the second time in school history. They started the 1997 with five-straight shutouts.
• The wins over Boston College and Notre Dame gave Wake Forest a 3-1 record in ACC play and the win over the Irish was its 11th win of the year against a ranked foe.
• Cumulatively, the Demon Deacons are now 101-21 in singles, led by 15 wins from Dennis Uspensky and 14 apiece from Romain Bogaerts and Christian Seraphim.
Deacs in the Top 10
• After a strong start to the season, the Deacons moved in to the top 10 of the national rankings for the first time since 2007. Their No. 5 ranking held the weeks of Feb. 17 and Feb. 23 was their highest in program history.
• Wake Forest began the season with its highest preseason ranking in program history at No. 11 after making its third Sweet 16 appearance a year ago.
Mansouri Moves Up
• Skander Mansouri has had a strong start to the spring, going 11-2 in singles, including 6-2 at No. 1, 4-0 at No. 2 and 5-1 against ranked opponents.
• The sophomore has won the ACC Player of the Week two times and now has the highest singles rankings of his career at No. 19.
• Paired with Christian Seraphim, Mansouri is also No. 19 in doubles. The duo is 10-5 at the No. 1 position with five wins against ranked tandems.
• Also ranked in singles for the Deacons is Petros Chrysochos, who checks in at No. 45 after an 11-2 start. Romain Bogaerts and Maksim Kan have not played together in the spring, but are ranked 41st in doubles.
Deacs at the Davis Cup
• Demon Deacon freshman Petros Chrysochos and sophomore Skander Mansouri both competed for their respective countries at the Davis Cup in mid-March.
• Representing Cyprus, Chrysochos went 4-0 in singles to help his country advance from Europe Zone Group III to Europe Zone Group II.
• Mansouri dropped his lone match for Tunisia, a five-set doubles contest.
