Radford Falls in Doubleheader at #14 Wake Forest

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The Radford men's tennis program went on the road and faced one of the top-ranked teams in the country Friday afternoon, coming up short in both matches against 14th ranked Wake Forest 7-0 and 4-0.

In the first match of the day, Radford senior Dinos Raptis highlighted with close doubles and singles matches. Raptis and Demis Taramonlis battled hard on the top flight for doubles and were only trailing 4-3 before Wake Forest clinched the doubles point.

Then in singles play, Raptis forced his Wake Forest opponent to a tiebreaker in the first set and pushed him to the brink until ultimately falling 7-6(7), 6-1. 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.

Radford's attention now moves to next Wednesday which is currently scheduled as the team's home opener against Bluefield State. The match is set for a 1 p.m. start time at the Radford Tennis Complex.
