Guilherme Severin and Aditya Balsekar were both competitive on courts four and two respectively as well. Wake Forest would win the first match of the day 7-0.
The second match of the day soon followed, but Wake Forest was able to win that match as well 4-0. In doubles play, Balsekar and Severin were competitive in a match that went unfinished 5-3 and were on the verge of pulling within 5-4 before Wake Forest clinched the doubles point.
