Leading the way were the second-seeded doubles team of John Zordani and Scott Christian along with Peter Tarwid, the No. 3-4 seed, and the duo of Camron Bagheri and Connor O’Kelly. All three advanced to the round of 16 Friday.

Zordani and Christian dropped only one game in three straight-set victories. Tarwid also won in straight sets while Bagheri and O’Kelly needed three sets to advance to the fourth round. All play fourth round matches Friday. Follow the results in real time on Patch.

If they win, they advance to the quarterfinals while a loss puts them in the consolation bracket. Championship round victories are worth two team points while a lower bracket win earns one point.

Brice Polender easily won his first two matches before falling in the third round to move into the fourth section of the consolation bracket tomorrow. A player in the lower section can eventually earn a fifth place medal while continuing to help his team’s standing.
