The Matchup

Chrysochos' Career
• 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.
• Senior Petros Chrysochos was 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 was 1-of-6 ACC student-athletes on the list.

Lineup Shuffle
• The Demon Deacons have showcased their lineup versatility this year, as 11 different players have played dual matches spring.
• Rrezart Cungu and Melios Efstathiou have shown the most fluidity this year, as the two have each appeared in the No. 1 through 5 spots.

All-Tourney Deacs
• A quartet of Deacs were named to the All-Tournament Team at the ITA National Team Indoor Championship.
• Petros Chrysochos and Bar Botzer were named to the singles All-Tournament Team while the doubles team of Alan Gadjiev and Borna Gojo were named to the doubles team.
