WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest women's tennis opened ACC competition with a 7-0 sweep over the Clemson Tigers on Sunday to wrap up a four-match home stretch.
The afternoon got underway with a thrilling doubles point that went in favor of the Deacons. Anna Brylin and Anna Ulyashchenko picked up a quick 6-1 victory on court three, but Emma Davis and Chandler Carter dropped a hard-fought 6-4 match to second-ranked Marie Leduc and Fernanda Navarro, knotting the doubles score up at 1-1.
Attention turned to the middle court where Eliza Omirou and MC Meredith battled back from a 5-3 deficit to send the match into a tiebreak. The Wake duo completed the rally with a 7-6 (4) win over the Tigers, giving the Deacons a 1-0 advantage.
Momentum remained with the Deacons as Chandler Carter pulled in the first singles win on court six, taking down Laura Marti, 6-1, 6-1. Brylin finished quickly after with a 6-1, 6-0 decision on court five as the Deacs took a 3-0 lead. Omirou clinched the match on court three with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Clemson's Sydney Riley.
No. 95 Anna Ulyashchenko topped No. 64 Fernanda Navarro, 6-4, 6-4 on the second court. After dropping the first frame 3-6, freshman Saby Nihalani stormed back to win the second set 6-1 and the tiebreak in place of the third set 10-5, as the Deacs took a 6-0 lead.
Davis highlighted the match with a huge come-from-behind victory in the top spot. Clemson's Marie Leduc took the first set 7-6 (7), but Davis rallied back to take set two 7-6 (2) forcing a third set tie break. Davis completed the comeback with a 10-6 tie break win in place of the final frame to give the Deacs their fifth sweep of the season.
