2/4/2022 8:24:00 PM | Men's Tennis
WINSTON-SALEM, NC – No. 10 Wake Forest men's tennis moves to 11-1 after sweeping No. 25 Central Florida and NC Wesleyan, 7-0 in the Wake Forest Indoor Tennis Center.
The Demon Deacons (11-1) improved their already impressive record at home to 90-4 since the 2017 season with the doubleheader sweep. The Deacs only dropped three sets on the day.
Sophomore sensation No. 75 Filippo Moroni, yet again picked up the clinching honors for the Deacs in the first match of the day over No. 25 UCF. Juan Lopez de Aczona clinched the bottom half of the doubleheader against NC Wesleyan.
Quotable
"Great day, we are getting better and better. Indoor doubles only got broken once on three courts and we were able to pull out the breaker and give us momentum into singles. Awesome to get four straight-setters against a team like UCF. It was good to have a few different guys to play in the afternoon match. Overall, it was sweet to get a couple of sweeps.
Our schedule is packed. We have another great challenge against No. 7 Georgia on Sunday. We had a 4-3 battle with them last year and we expect a really tight one and the team will be ready to go." - Coach Bresky
