Chrysochos' Career
• Senior Petros Chrysochos has been named 1-of-30 semifinalists for the AAU James E. Sullivan Award, which is presented annually to the top amateur athlete in the country. Chrysochos is 1-of-6 ACC student-athletes on the list.
• Against UCLA on Feb. 16, Chrysochos became the program's all-time leader in singles victories with 120 when he defeated Govind Nanda, 6-1, 6-4. Chrysochos needed seven singles wins entering spring play to break the previous record of 119, which was held by former teammate Skander Mansouri.
• 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.

Lineup Shuffle
• The Demon Deacons have showcased their lineup versatility this year, as 10 different players have played dual matches spring.
• Rrezart Cungu, Melios Efstathiou and Yuval Solomon have showcased the most versatility, as the three Deacs have all appeared in four different singles spots.

All-Tourney Deacs
