The Matchup
• The No. 3 Wake Forest men's tennis team makes its final road trip of the regular season this Friday and Sunday, March 29 and 31. The Deacs will first face Georgia Tech on Friday before heading up to Clemson on Sunday.
• Wake Forest's match against the Yellow Jackets will begin at 5 p.m. while their Sunday matinee against the Tigers is set for a 1 p.m. start.

Chrysochos' Career
• Against UCLA on Feb. 16, senior Petros 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 11 different players have played dual matches spring.
• Melios Efstathiou has shown the most fluidity this year, having played matches at all six singles positions.

Doubles Dominance
• The Deacs have dominated the doubles action this year, winning the opening point in 18-of-24 matches played (excludes Baylor).
• When the Deacs win the doubles point they have posted a record of 17-2. Wake Forest still succeeds when dropping the doubles point, owning a 5-1 record when falling behind 1-0.

Next Time Out
• The Deacs return home for the final two matches of the regular season. Wake Forest will face Florida State on and Miami on March 29 and 31.
• The Deacs' Sunday match against Miami will be Senior Day, with Wake Forest honoring Petros Chrysochos, Alan Gadjiev and Julian Zlobinsky.
