Duke owns a 20-2 overall and 9-1 ACC mark on the season as the Blue Devils prepare to host  24th-ranked Wake Forest on Thursday and seventh-ranked NC State on Saturday in Amber Tennis Stadium.  The Blue Devils jumped two spots in this week’s ranking as Duke also registered a 4-3 win over No. 11 Miami over the weekend.
