Cornut-Chauvinc navigated through the first set 6-4 and emerged victorious after a 7-4 second-set tiebreaker. The senior completed his 14th ranked win of the season and 15th straight-set singles victory.
Jamie Connel began his match down 4-1 before winning six of the next seven games to take the first set. He took full command from that point and punctuated his day with a 6-4 second set to tie the match at 3-3.
The final point would be decided on Court 5 after Dous-Karpenschif split the first two sets. After exchanging games back and forth to start, NC State pulled away and secured the fourth and final point.
