Two others have four wins in singles play, while in doubles the team of Samrakshyak Bajracharya (Kathmandu, Nepal) and Ruan Du Preez (Cape Town, South Africa) leads the team with a 4-2 record.

Meanwhile, UAB enters the match with a record of 7-11 on the season.

The match is scheduled to begin at 1 pm and admission is free to the event.
