Charlottesville, Va. ? On the second day of the UVA Fall Invitational in Charlottesville, Va. Duke head coach Jay Lapidus got his first look at his players in doubles action as they played two rounds of doubles along with one singles round.

In the A-1 doubles bracket, returning ITA All-American David Goulet and his partner Christopher Price started strong with an easy 8-1 victory over Brown's Saurabh Kohli and Nathaniel Gorham. Their second match of the day was not as easy as they dropped an 8-5 decision to the No. 3 seed duo of Michael James and Adam Slagter of Penn State.

Also playing in the top doubles bracket was Duke's Reid Carleton and Dylan Arnould. The pair won a tight first round match against Elon's Damon Gooch and Mason Schermerhorn, 9-8. In the quarterfinal match, they could not carry the momentum as they lost 8-4.

The Blue Devils' duo of Kiril Dimitrov and Alain Michel teamed together in the B-1 bracket but suffered an 8-5 setback in their first round match. They later moved on to the consolation semifinals with a default victory. Alex Stone and Aaron Carpenter lost two matches in the B-2 bracket falling 8-4 in the opening round and 8-3 in their consolation round.

David Lue, a sophomore from Houston, Texas, improved to 2-1 on the season with a victory over Denver's Jake Goldberg in straight sets 6-3, 6-4. Lue will face Andrew Downing of Virginia in the consolation finals of the brown singles bracket.

Carleton has also won two straight matches after receiving a loss in his first collegiate match. On Saturday Carleton claimed a 6-2, 7-5 win over Mariusz Adamski of Wake Forest and will next face Stetson's Marcus Echtler in the consolation finals.

After winning two matches to advance to the semifinals, Dimitrov ran into Virginia's Somdev Devvarman, who is the No. 1 ranked player in the country and defending national champion. Devvarman defeated Dimitrov in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 to move on to the finals.

Carpenter could not sustain his momentum from the first day as he lost to Sebastien Dietz of Binghamton in straight sets 6-3, 7-5 in the semifinal match of the green singles bracket.

Sunday will mark the final day of competition at the UVA Fall Invitational. Both the singles and doubles brackets will conclude with the finals and consolation finals.
