UH's 41st-ranked Andre Ilagan had a heart-breaking three-set super tie-breaker loss to FSU's 12th-ranked Antoine Cornut-Charuvinc. Ilagan bounced back defeating Duke's 84th-ranked Pedro Rodenas in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4 in the Invitational. Ilagan then fell to the Blue Devils' fourth-ranked Garrett Johns to conclude the week. Against the 16th-ranked Seminoles, Hawai'i's No. 1 doubles team of Karl Collins and Ilagan knocked off Barnaby Smith and Cornut-Charvunc by a break, 6-4. The duo of Ilagan and Collins are the only pair to record two wins thus far. Last year, UCLA finished ranked No. 47 with a 13-12 overall record, going 9-3 at home. This season, they were able to get some matches in last week at the Sherwood College Cup in soggy conditions at the Thousand Oaks, Calif.  This year, the Bruins are led by 84th-ranked Alexander Hoognartens (who finished 2022 ranked No. 23) and 89th-ranked Giacomo Revelli. This is just the seventh meeting against UCLA for the Rainbow Warriors. The Bruins are 6-0 against Hawai'i. The two teams last met in 2013 with UCLA winning on their home court, 6-1 #HawaiiMTEN
