WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Behind an undefeated mark in doubles play, the ninth-ranked Wake Forest men’s tennis team earned a pair of victories Saturday over in-state foe Campbell (6-1) and South Carolina State (7-0) inside the Indoor Tennis Center at Wake Forest.
With Saturday’s victories, the Demon Deacons (10-0, 0-0 ACC) improved to 10-0 for the first time since 2018 when the program won its first-ever NCAA Championship.
Saturday’s win over Campbell also improved the Deacs to 14-0 over schools in the state of North Carolina, dating back to the start of the 2022 campaign. Additionally, Wake Forest has now won 38-consecutive home matches.
Against Campbell, the Demon Deacons secured the doubles point as each of the Deacs’ pairs earned 6-2 victories on their respective courts. Boasting a 1-0 lead heading into singles, the Deacs won five matches en route to a 6-1 decision over the Fighting Camels. Of note, freshman Saud Alhogbani’s win in sixth singles marked his first-career duals singles win.
