DURHAM, N.C. – After consecutive away weekends, the Duke men's tennis team returns home for a pair of ACC matches, hosting No. 52 Georgia Tech at 5 p.m. Friday and No. 38 Clemson at noon Sunday. The Blue Devils, who are 5-1 at home, enter the weekend 8-8 overall and 3-3 in ACC play.
CROSSCOURT CAST COVERAGE
For the third consecutive year, the Atlantic Coast Conference and ACC Network have teamed up with Cracked Racquets to produce CrossCourt Cast shows during ACC play. Cracked Racquets, a leader in tennis media, is committed to empowering the ACC tennis community by making the sport more connected, inclusive and engaging through its broadcast and podcast coverage this season.
The CrossCourt Cast format, like NFL Redzone or whip-around coverage, incorporates every match during play. While the live stream will focus on broadcasting the most exciting moments of a day's play (match points, breakpoints, momentum swings, top-10 matchups, 4-3 finishes, etc.), it will also cover every team and individual competing.
Duke's Friday match with Georgia Tech will be part of the coverage.
UPDATED ITA RANKINGS
With a new set of ITA rankings released Tuesday, the Blue Devils check in at No. 51 as a team.
Individually, Cooper Williams tops the squad at No. 56 while Pedro Rodenas is ranked No. 95. In doubles, Williams and Rodenas rose one spot to No. 10.
LAST TIME OUT
The Blue Devils came back for a 4-1 victory at Virginia Tech. After dropping the doubles point, Duke ripped off four consecutive singles wins to even its ACC record.
Rodenas tallied the first singles win with a 6-3, 6-3 victory on court one against Ilyas Fahim. With the first set even at 3-3, Rodenas broke through with the final three games. He led 3-0 in the second before Fahim replied with consecutive games to cut the deficit to 3-2. No. 103 Rodenas quickly regained a two-game lead at 4-2 and held Fahim off for the match. Minutes later on court four, Dylan Long downed Julian Lozano 6-1, 6-4 to give Duke the lead. Long cruised through the first set before falling behind 2-0 in the second. He answered with three consecutive wins to go ahead, 3-2. The set was even at 3-3 and 4-4 before Long won the final two games for the match. Saahith Jayaraman made it a 3-1 Blue Devil edge as he defeated Thomas Brandao 6-4, 6-0 on court five. The two were neck and neck in the first set with ties at 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4. From there, Jayaraman won the final eight games to secure the match. Williams clinched for Duke with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph against Eyal Shumilov on court two. No. 62 Williams took control of the opening set early with a 4-1 lead. Shumilov got it down to 4-2 and 5-3 but could get no closer. Williams trailed 2-1 in the second set before ripping off the final five for the match.
HOME COURT ADVANTAGE
Duke played to a 12-1 home record in the 2025 dual match season and is off to a 5-1 start at home in 2026. The Blue Devils' lone home loss last spring was a 4-3 setback to No. 37 Florida State on March 28 while this year Duke dropped a 4-2 decision to No. 11 Stanford on March 1.
Since the start of the 2023 dual match season, Duke is 43-6 in home competition (.878 winning percentage).
