UI roundup: Singles play delivers victory for Illini

SEATTLE — Maybe Duke was a welcomed sight for the Illinois men's tennis team.

The Blue Devils certainly were a familiar opponent.

Playing Duke for the second time in the month of February, the Illini recorded their second win of the season over the Blue Devils.

This time, it happened during Saturday's second day of the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Seattle, as 10th-ranked Illinois claimed a 4-1 triumph against 15th-ranked Duke.

After dropping the doubles point, Illinois (5-3) responded with four singles wins from the likes of Alex Brown (6-0, 6-4), Noe Khlif (6-0, 6-3), Aleks Kovacevic (6-1, 6-2) and Zeke Clark (6-3, 6-4).
