Javier Gonzalez were even at 3-3 with Max Litton and Harrison Collomb before pulling away and taking the set 6-3. At No. 3, Nicolas Tremblay and
Sacha Maes prevailed 6-2 over Jex Frankel and Max Lustgarten in what was a much needed victory to secure the doubles point. Derin Acarglou and
Lachie Macintosh had a little trouble at the No. 2 spot losing 6-4 to Brett Keeling and Chase Kasday after their serve was broken early in the match.
In his usual fashion, Vuksanovic came out of the gate firing, using his powerful serve to dominate Collomb and take the first set at No. 1.The second set was just as dominant, as the senior rolled to a 6-0, 6-1 victory.
At No. 4, Macintosh put on an absolute clinic against Keeling, taking the first set 6-2. His net play in the second set proved to be a powerful catalyst for closing out the match in dominant fashion, sealing a 6-2, 6-1 victory.

Stavros Mastrogamvrakis play Tai Macdonald. Mastrogamvrakis continued to prove his value in the singles lineup with his straight set victory this afternoon. He won the first set 6-3 and continued on with the dominant performance taking the second set 6-4.
No. 3 Acarglou improved upon his singles record for the season moving to 8-2 following his win today over Litton. Acarglou took the first set 6-3 and delivered a much needed break in the second to take the second 7-5.
