Ivanchenko went on tie the match in set two with a 6-2 victory before winning 6-3 sending the Blue Raiders (23-3) to tomorrow's quarterfinals for the first time since 2018. It was a tough start to the day for the Blue Raiders after Lindsey Wilson lost the doubles point. Reshma Challarapu and Salome Sposetti were the first to fall losing 6-1 to Alexia Desmet and Isadora Marcondes. The Knights captured the point with a 6-2 win as Anna Ruiz and Aya El Marrasse defeated Darija Mladenovic and Ivanchenko. Already down 1-0 the Blue Raiders had to fight back in the singles competition. Things went from bad to worse as the Knights went 2-0 up after El Marrasse defeated Mladenovic 6-3, 6-4 in the fourth-ranked singles match.
