DURHAM, N.C. – Duke men's tennis hosts its final full weekend of action and welcomes in-state foes NC State and Wake Forest to the Ambler Tennis Stadium. The Blue Devils have just one remaining home match after this weekend with a visit from North Carolina on April 11.Â
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.Â
Duke's Friday and Sunday matches will be part of the coverage.Â
WILLIAMS FINDING HIS GROOVE IN SINGLES ...
Cooper Williams has played some of his strongest tennis with the start of the outdoor campaign. Since shifting to the second court, Williams, ranked No. 56, is 6-0 with two additional unfinished matches he was leading.
Williams went 2-0 last weekend in singles, including a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 victory against No. 53 Viktor Markov of Clemson.Â
... AND STILL ROLLING IN DOUBLES
Williams and Pedro Rodenas won their one completed doubles match last weekend to improve to 12-2 in dual competition. The duo, ranked No. 10 nationally, has won its last seven matches. Williams and Rodenas registered their highest-ranked win of the campaign against Stanford with a 6-4 triumph versus the No. 8 team of Alex Chang and Alex Razeghi.
Williams and Rodenas are 6-0 in ACC play. The Duke record for ACC wins by a doubles team in a season is 11, set by Henrique Cunha and Raphael Hemmeler in 2013. Eight ACC wins enters a Blue Devil pair into the single season top-10 chart. Â
RODENAS RECORD WATCH
With Rodenas' strong doubles start to ACC play, he continues his climb up the Duke career record charts for league competition. In doubles, Rodenas has played 35 ACC matches, the 10th most in Duke history, while his 28 league doubles wins are tied for third in Duke history. Cunha (2010-13) tops the Duke ACC doubles wins ledger with 35.
In ACC play, Rodenas has taken part in 39 singles matches, one shy of cracking the Duke top-12 chart. He owns 30 ACC singles victories, tied with current Duke assistant coach TJ Pura for the sixth most in a Duke career. Fred Saba (2011-14) owns the Blue Devil record with 35 ACC singles wins.
Overall, the Madrid, Spain, native owns 94 career wins, just six shy of becoming the 17th member of Duke's 100-win club.Â
