Clemson defeated Winthrop 7-0 earlier in the day. “I thought it was a good day of tennis for us,” said Clemson Head Coach Chuck McCuen. “We want to continue to improve our mental and physical endurance. We must accomplish this if we are to be a legit top-25 program. “We are excited to gain experience for our younger players. You can’t duplicate match play, and this experience is valuable to our team and individuals. I like the way we competed. We must now continue to work hard and get back to practice,” said McCuen.
