CARY, N.C. – Three Elon University men's tennis players competed in the singles qualifying draw Thursday at ITA Carolina Regionals, with sophomore Nikola Parichkov advancing to the main draw with a pair of victories. The tournament is being held at the Cary Tennis Park.

Parichkov came from a set down in his opening-round victory, rallying to defeat Wofford's Julian Brager-Carlsen, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. Later in the day, Parichkov dispatched Presbyterian's Daksh Prasad, 7-6 (4), 6-1, to secure one of the 16 qualifier spots into the main singles draw.

Jack Curtis also won a first-round qualifying match, knocking off Noah Gabriel of NC State, 6-3, 6-3. He lost his second-round match to fall just short of the main draw.
