“It was the toughest conditions we’ve seen,” Neufeld said. “It was a great test and I’m proud of how we responded. If these guys want to go pro, it’s part of the show. They really responded well.”

Arkidjas Slobodkins and Mischa Nowicki won at No. 1 doubles — improving to 2-0 as a pair, while Nate Lammons and Alex Sanders earned their 16th win of the season.
