“It was a great first day,” said head coach Jamie Hunt. “Our doubles was outstanding. Three teams going 2-0 on the day. Oscar and Miguel played at a high level beating a preseason Top 5 team. In singles, we competed very well and won some tough matches. I was pleased with how we handled some challenging moments out there. We know tomorrow is going to be an even tougher day and we are ready for it”
