A LOOK AT THE BLUE DEVILS:
Awarded the No. 3 overall seed, Duke owns a 22-3 ledger and enters Friday's contest on an 11-match win streak. The Blue Devils are currently ranked fourth nationally – its highest ranking of the season. Throughout the 2022 campaign, the Blue Devils have consistently had at least three individual players and two doubles pairings ranked in the ITA singles and doubles polls.
The Blue Devils currently feature three singles players and three doubles pairs in the ITA rankings. Chloe Beck leads the way in singles action at No. 9, while senior Georgia Drummy sits at No. 14. Classmate Kelly Chen rounds out the trio, checking in at No. 106.
In doubles play, Duke is led by sophomore Karolina Berankova and Drummy at 17th. Beck and freshman Ellie Coleman sit at No. 49, while Chen and graduate student Eliza Omirou are slotted 68th.
Beck concluded the regular season with an unblemished 18-0 overall record (13-0 in ACC) and became the first Blue Devil to go undefeated in conference action since Chen achieved the feat in 2018.
Chen currently sits in sixth on the Duke career singles list with a 132-48 mark and is tied for 17th on the career doubles list at 88-45. Overall, the senior owns a 220-93 combined career singles and doubles record – which is tied for fifth all-time in total victories. Chen needs just one win to take over sole possession of the No. 5 spot.
