The opening day of the singles qualifying draw is in the books with four of the top 10 seeds, including the top seed, making an early exit. There was one Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) upset with South Alabama’s Tuki Jacobs (13.23) knocking off the No. 4 seed Memphis’s Ryan Peniston (14.36) in straight sets.
Qualifiers from the pre-qualifying draw went a stout 10-6 while both lucky losers were defeated for the second match in a row. Freshmen went 11-5 on the day with 4 of the winners coming through pre-qualies which meant they’ve now won 5 matches in the last 3 days.
