The Historic Season Continues…
Earning ACC Coach of the Year for the third time, Bresky has led the No. 1-ranked Wake Forest men's tennis team to its fourth ACC regular season title as well as its first-ever perfect regular season at 33-0. The Demon Deacons are the first ACC program to finish the entire regular season undefeated since Virginia in 2013.
It also marked the third undefeated conference record for the Deacs, with the previous two also coming under Bresky in 2017 and 2019.
In February, the Deacs claimed their second ITA National Indoor Championship with thrilling 4-3 wins over current No. 3 Texas in the semifinals and No. 2 TCU in the championship match. In total, Wake Forest has beaten the remainder of the top five in the current ITA poll this season as well as six of the top 10.
Now with 36 wins, the squad has now broken the program record for most wins in a single season, previously set by the 2019 team (34).
In addition to Bresky's ACC accolade, the Demon Deacons had five members selected to All-ACC teams including singles nods for junior standout DK Suresh Ekamabram (first team) and graduate transfer Stefan Dostanic (second team).
In doubles, Suresh also landed on the first team alongside freshman Charlie Robertson, while sophomore Luca Pow and senior Luciano Tacchi garnered third team honors.
