Quotable
Head coach Ashley Fisher on today's win...
"Really proud of the effort from the team today. It started with doubles and although we didn't get the point we played very good fundamental doubles and it's nice to see growth in that area. The singles was a tough gritty performance collectively. Kuba continues to play inspired tennis. I was really happy with the overall energy and composure. Our guys problem solved and fought through tough moments. We are playing good tennis at the right time and are excited to reset and battle again on Sunday."
