Wake Forest University had two players in action this week at the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Tennis Championship in Tulsa, Okla.

Sophomore Steven Forman and senior Mariusz Adamski made the trip to Tulsa to play earlier in the week.

Adamski was the first to play for the Deacs, taking the court at 9 a.m. Oct. 1.

He drew Arizona’s Claudio Christen in the first round.

The two seniors played a tight match that went to three sets. Adamski took the first set; unfortunately, he dropped the next two sets to fall to Christen 4-6, 7-5, 7-6.

Next up for the Deacs was Steven Forman.

His opening match took place at 5 p.m. Oct. 1. Forman drew Indiana’s Thomas Richter, a senior who was ranked No. 51 in men’s singles. Forman defeated Richter 6-3, 6-4.

Sure enough, in a field of over 120 participants representing a wide array of universities, Forman drew a Dukie in the second round. Forman took on Duke freshman Reid Carleton in the second round 11:30 a.m. Oct. 2, but fell to Carleton 7-5, 6-2.

Next up for the Deacs is the Gamecock Invitational, which starts Oct. 12 in Columbia, S.C.
