Deacs Hit the Road for First Time Since February
• After a 20-4 start with a 4-1 mark in the ACC, No. 13 Wake Forest will hit the road to take on a pair of conference foes in No. 64 Miami and 20th-ranked Florida State.
• The Demon Deacons are slated to take on the Hurricanes on Friday at 1 p.m. They will face the Seminoles on Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
• The road matches will be the Deacs' first away from Winston-Salem since playing at the ITA National Team Indoors Championships in Charlottesville, Va. from Feb. 12-14.
Last Time Out
• Wake Forest wrapped up a 13-match homestand last Sunday with 7-0 wins against Clemson and South Carolina State.
• The wins gave the Deacons seven-consecutive shutout victories, a school record.
Ho To 100
• Senior Jon Ho's singles win against Clemson was the 100th of his career.
• He became the sixth Deacon all-time to reach the milestone. Senior Romain Bogaerts is the next-closest current player to that mark, currently sitting at 96-career victories.
Mansouri Moves Up
• Skander Mansouri has had a strong start to the spring, going 12-2 in singles, including 7-2 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. 16.
• Paired with Christian Seraphim, Mansouri is also No. 12 in doubles. The duo is 11-5 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 a 13-2 start. Romain Bogaerts and Maksim Kan have not played together in the spring, but are ranked 47th in doubles, while Chrysochos and Jon Ho are 48th.
Deacs in the Top 10
• After a strong start to the season, the Deacons moved into 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. They are currently ranked 13th.
• 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.
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.
Up Next
• Wake Forest opens the month of April and wraps up a four-match road swing next week when it travels to Virginia Tech and North Carolina.
• The Deacs will then celebrate Senior Day against Duke on April 9.
