After their record-breaking season, the Wake Forest men’s tennis team entered the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed. Storming through the bracket, they faced off against TCU—the reigning and defending champion—in the NCAA final hosted at Baylor University, where they secured a 4–2 victory to cap off their 40–1 season with a perfect ending.
Taking convincing wins at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles, Wake Forest was able to secure the doubles point and carry that positive momentum into singles play. While falling short on courts 5 and 3, it was the Demon Deacons who won in straight sets on court 1, before Luca Pow clinched a three-set match at the No. 6 spot. Now just one victory away from a national title, it was DK Suresh who sealed the deal—winning a tight three-set match and serving big to the T on match point. Wake Forest’s historic season came to an end with another dominant display against the No. 2 seed TCU.
Despite losing some players next year, the Deacons will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season, as they look to build a dynasty.
