Amanda Anisimova, now at a career-high WTA ranking of 18 and a Masters 1000 champion, was a great junior, reaching No. 2 in the 2016 ITF junior rankings and winning 2017 USO girls title.

Stefan Dostanic No 1 for Wake Forest, the top seed here at SMU, trails NC State's Braden Shick 4-2 in first set of the quarterfinals. Wake took the doubles point.

Well that didn't disappoint. The last three matches were in third-set tiebreakers, with Texas's Jonah Braswell finishing it first. Texas avenges its loss to Virginia earlier this month 4-1 to advance to Men's Team Indoor semifinals Monday. Incredible finish.

Ready to start the marquee quarterfinal men's Team Indoor match of the day between No 2 seed UVA and No 3 seed Texas. UVA pulled off a stunning comeback for a 4-3 win earlier this month in Charlottesville

All results from the eight first round matches yesterday at the ITA D-I Men's Team Indoor Championships:
