Senior Ciro Lampasas picked up wins in singles and doubles to lead University of Louisville men's tennis team on the opening day of the Duke James Bonk Invite Friday afternoon in Cary, N.C.

"It was a very hot day in Cary, North Carolina," said UofL assistant coach Jakob Gustafsson. "We need to deal better with the conditions. I thought we played pretty good tennis though and I was happy to see our doubles progressing from last week. Tomorrow will be a very physical day. We look forward to the challenge."

In B Division singles action, senior Ciro Lampasas defeated Auburn's Alex Mascioli 6-2, 7-5.

Junior George Hedley fell 6-4, 6-0 to Duke's No. 44 Spencer Furman in the A Division. Fellow junior Brandon Lancaster defeated North Carolina's Simon Soendegaard 7-6 (10) in the first set, but fell 6-3, 6-1 in the next two sets to move to the consolation bracket.

Sophomore Clement Filho lost his first round match to NC State's Igor Savelic 6-3, 6-4 in the A2 Division.

In doubles action, the duo of Filho and Lampasas defeated North Carolina's Kavir Kumar and Ladd Harrison 8-3 in the first round of the B Division. Lancaster and Hedley fell 8-6 to NC State's Igor and Ivan Seveljic in the A2 Division.
