The Matchup
• The third-ranked and fourth-seeded Wake Forest men's tennis team continues its run in the NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championship on Friday (May 10), as the Deacs play host to Oklahoma in the Super Regional round.
• First serve for Friday is set for 4 p.m. at the Wake Forest Tennis Center. The winner of Friday's match will advance to Orlando for the remainder of the tournament and will face the winner of Virginia/Stanford in the quarterfinals on Thursday, May 16.

Scouting the Opponent
• Oklahoma enters Friday's match 17-10 overall after winning the College Station Regional last weekend. Ranked 21st, the Sooners upset 13th-seeded and regional host Texas A&M in the second round.
• The Sooners feature three players ranked nationally in the singles rankings (#32 Spencer Papa, #41 Alex Bakshi, #77 Jake Van Emburgh) as well as the 25th-ranked doubles team of Bakshi/Tsorotiotis.

Back for More
• The Deacs are looking to repeat as NCAA team champions, having defeated Ohio State, 4-2, in last year's finale played at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex.
• It was the first NCAA title in program history and Petros Chrysochos would go on to claim the first individual title less than a week later, defeating teammate Borna Gojo for the NCAA Singles Championship.

Sustained Success
• This year's graduating class of Petros Chrysochos, Alan Gadjiev and Julian Zlobinsky became the winningest class in program history on April 12 against Florida State.
• The win against the Seminoles gave the trio of Deacs their 117th victory as a team, surpassing the previous record of 116, set by last year's graduating class.
• Over the past four years, the Deacs have compiled a record of 123-14 as a team and a 68-3 mark at home.

Lineup Shuffle
• The Demon Deacons have showcased their lineup versatility this year, as 11 different players have played dual matches this spring.
• Melios Efstathiou has shown the most fluidity this year, having played matches at all six singles positions.
