WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Playing without a pair of ranked singles players, the No. 7 Wake Forest men's tennis team split a pair of dual matches on Sunday outdoors at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex. The Demon Deacons began the day with a 4-3 loss to No. 40 NC State before rebounding with a 7-0 sweep of Tennessee Tech.
The Deacons are now 14-4 on the season and fell to 1-1 in ACC play with the loss to the Wolfpack.
The Deacs' Skander Mansouri, the nation's 25th-ranked singles player, and Petros Chrysochos, ranked 34th, missed their second and third-consecutive matches to represent their respective countries at the Davis Cup. Mansouri played for Tunisia, while Chrysochos played for Cyprus.
Christian Seraphim, Maksim Kan and Keivon Tabrizi each won twice in singles, while Seraphim paired with Jon Ho to win twice in doubles.
No. 40 NC State 4, No. 7 Wake Forest 3
Wake Forest had a solid start to the doubles competition in its first match as Christian Seraphim and Jon Ho opened with a 6-1 victory at the No. 2 position. NC State answered that win, however, claiming the Nos. 1 and 3 positions to take the first point.
Keivon Tabrizi knotted the score in singles, making quick work of Michael Odgen at No. 6 with a 6-2, 6-1 victory. Seraphim followed shortly after by wrapping up a 6-2, 6-2 win against Ivan Saveljic at No. 4 to put the Demon Deacons in front, 2-1.
Moments after No. 72-ranked Nick Horton re-tied the match at two with a win at the top spot, Maksim Kan made it 3-2, Wake Forest, by taking down Igor Saveljic in straight sets at No. 5. No. 83 Simon Norenius of NC State then evened the contest yet again by finishing a 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 2.
The team result came down to the third position, the only singles match that required a third set. Wake Forest's Dennis Uspensky fell behind by dropping the first set, 7-5, to Thomas Weigel, but pulled away to win the second set, 6-3. In the final frame, Uspensky erased a 2-0 deficit to go ahead, 3-2, but Weigel finished the match by taking the final four games, giving the Wolfpack the victory.
No. 7 Wake Forest 7, Tennessee Tech 0
In their second match of the afternoon, the Demon Deacons worked quickly in doubles to secure a 1-0 lead. Christian Seraphim and Jon Ho won for the third time on the weekend as a duo, 6-3, at the top spot. Romain Bogaerts and Dennis Uspensky followed suit with a 6-4 triumph at No. 2.
As was the case in the first match, Seraphim put up a fast win in singles, this time downing Alberto Esteban, 6-1, 6-2, at No. 4. Despite falling behind early in his first set, Ho overpowered Alex Arovin at No. 2, 6-3, 6-2, to make it 3-0.
To clinch the win, Maksim Kan picked up his third singles victory of the weekend at No. 6. Rounding out the shutout were Uspensky at No. 3, Keivon Tabrizi at No. 5 and Bogaerts at No. 1. All six singles matches were decided in straight sets.
