CORAL GABLES, Fla. – In the first ACC road test of the 2026 campaign, the No. 4-ranked Wake Forest men's tennis team picked up a 4-0 victory over No. 62 Miami Friday afternoon at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.
The Deacs (16-2, 3-0 ACC) extended their regular season conference winning streak to a stellar 18-consecutive matches dating back to April of 2024 and have now won 119 conference matches since the start of the 2013 campaign.
Additionally, Wake Forest now leads the all-time series against Miami, 18-13, and has won 11-consecutive matches against the Hurricanes dating back to 2013.
For the seventh-consecutive match and for the 15th time this season, the Deacs opened the match with a 1-0 lead thanks to doubles wins on courts two and three.
Freshman Mees Rottgering and sophomore Kacper Szymkowiak cruised to a 6-1 victory over Segado/Garot on court two and moved to 3-0 together as a pair. Not long after, junior Luca Pow and freshman Aryan Shah followed with a dominant 6-2 win against Sadaoui/Serra Sanchez on court three.
Of note, Pow is now one doubles victory away from being tied for 11th in program history with Todd Paul (2003-07) at 84.

From Coach Bresky
"It was a really solid road performance from our guys today. Miami always competes extremely well at home, so to come out and take control of the doubles point and then carry that momentum into singles was important. We had contributions across the lineup and did a good job staying composed in some tight moments. Now the focus shifts quickly to another tough ACC match on Sunday." – Head coach Tony Bresky
