TULSA, Okla. – Duke had three competitors in action Friday at the ITA All-American Championship and came away with two victories. Freshman Nicolas Alvarez marched on within the main draw and advanced to the round of 16 with an upset of the event's No. 5 seed, Jared Hiltzik of Illinois.
In consolation bracket action, junior Bruno Semenzato moved to the second round with a triumph. Senior Jason Tahir bowed out of the consolation bracket with a defeat.
Alvarez kept the Blue Devils alive in the main draw with a comeback upset against Hiltzik. Alvarez dropped the first set 6-2, but edged out Hiltzik in the second set 7-5. He completed the victory with a 6-4 triumph in the deciding third set. Alvarez will face South Florida's Roberto Cid in the round of 16 on Saturday.
