Demon Deacons are now 81-4 in home matches since the start of the 2016-17 season.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The No. 10 Wake Forest men's tennis team collected a pair of sweeps in the home opener on Sunday afternoon at the Indoor Tennis Center.
The Demon Deacons (2-0) captured the doubleheader sweep over Tennessee Tech (0-2) to open the season 2-0 for the 19th time since 2000.
Wake Forest is now 81-4 in home matches since the start of the 2016-17 season.
Quotable:
"Awesome to get back into it. It feels so much more normal compared to last year. It took us a couple months to get into the rhythm of things. Overall, it is great to be back with all of the guys, who are pretty healthy. Tennessee Tech is an experienced team who pushed us in certain positions. I thought it was great to get a lot of different people court time and different pairings in doubles. Perfect way to start the season and we are looking forward to carrying the momentum into next weekend." - Coach Bresky
