David Durham won the first set of singles 6-4 over Niclas Genovese at No. 5, but could not remain on top during sets two and three; eventually taking a 7-5, 10-7 setback to finish the match.
Â
"This was an interesting match for me, because I was facing my brother which is never easy," said head coach
Eduardo Rincon. "We missed some crucial shots in doubles and started slow in singles, giving Miami an advantage. Overall, however, I believe we have improved tremendously since the first match of the season.
