DURHAM – The No. 44 Duke men's tennis team caps the road portion of the regular season when it travels to No. 50 Florida State and No. 42 Miami this weekend. The Blue Devils (9-11, 4-6 ACC) face the Seminoles at 6 p.m. Friday and the Hurricanes Sunday at 3 p.m.
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
UPDATED ITA RANKINGS
With a new set of ITA rankings released Tuesday, the Blue Devils check in at No. 44Â as a team.Â
Individually, Cooper Williams tops the squad at No. 47 while Pedro Rodenas is ranked No. 50. In doubles, Williams and Rodenas are No. 14.
WILLIAMS FINDING HIS GROOVE IN SINGLES
Williams has played some of his strongest tennis with the start of the outdoor campaign. Since shifting to the second court, Williams is 7-0 with two additional unfinished matches he was leading.
Williams played a huge role in Duke's sweep of No. 19 NC State last weekend with a 6-4, 6-2 victory against No. 88 William Manning on court two to push the Blue Devils' lead to 2-0.Â
RODENAS RECORD WATCH
Rodenas continues his climb up the Duke career record charts for league competition. In doubles, Rodenas has played 37 ACC matches, tied for the seventh most in Duke history, while his 28 league doubles wins are tied for third in Duke history. Henrique Cunha (2010-13) tops the Duke ACC doubles wins ledger with 35.
