The Matchup
• The top-ranked Demon Deacons are set for a trio of matches this weekend, facing Virginia, Baylor and Tennessee Tech.
• The Deacs hit the road for the first time this season to face the No. 13/14 Cavaliers in a nonconference match on Friday, Feb. 8 before returning home for a Sunday, Feb. 10, doubleheader against the No. 9/8 Bears and Golden Eagles.
• Wake Forest will play a pair of ranked opponents in Virginia and Baylor, looking to improve upon its 2-0 record against ranked opponents this year.
Chrysochos' Career
• Entering the spring season, senior Petros Chrysochos needed seven singles victories to become the program's all-time leader in career singles wins. Chrysochos is now at 117 career wins, two shy of tying former teammate Skander Mansouri who holds the record with 119.
• In the fall, Chrysochos won the program's first-ever singles title at the ITA Fall Championships, topping USC's Daniel Cukierman in the finals. Chrysochos is believed to be the first men's player since Arizona State's Sargis Sargsian (1994-95) to win all three major DI titles (NCAA, ITA All-American, ITA Fall Championships) in a career.
• Chrysochos has been ranked the No. 1 singles player all season in the ITA singles rankings.
Rookies Shine
• A pair of freshmen took to the courts in the openeing weekend for the Demon Deacons and shined in their first-career dual matches.
• Siddhant Banthia, a mid-year enrollee from India, went a perfect 3-0 in both singles and doubles. In his three singles matches, Banthia did not drop a set and never lost more than three games in a set.
• Melios Efstathiou, who excelled in fall competition, posted a 2-1 singles record and a 3-0 doubles record. Efstathiou showed off his versatility, playing singles matches at the No. 1, 2 and 3 positions.
• The duo have combined for a 7-2 record this spring after Efstathiou posted a 11-4 record during the fall campaign.
Next Time Out
• The Demon Deacons look to defend their title at the ITA National Team Indoor Championship, held Feb. 15-18 at the Midtown Athletic Club in Chicago.
• Wake Forest punched its ticket to the event with its ITA Kick-Off Weekend victory following wins over BYU and Memphis.
• The tournament draw will be posted on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
