A singles update (not looking good):
#1: Yepifanova was demolished 1-6, 0-6
#2: Smith (NC State) takes a tight first set 7-5 against Ma
#3: Blake edges out the tiebreak 7 points to 5 and takes the first set, after blowing a big lead early on
#4: With a blistering backhand winner down the line, Blokhina takes the deciding point serving for the set and takes a one set lead
#5: Xu took the first set 6-3 and on serve early in the second
#6: Choy dropped the first 3-6, but is up two breaks 3-0 in the second
NC State leads 2-0 and thus we have to win 4 of the remaining 5 matches to pull this one out (and we are down a set on two of them)
On #2, Smith broke Ma's first service game in the second and is now up a set and a break
On #5, Xu is now down a break in the second (though up a set)
On #6, Choy gave back both breaks and the second set is tied at 3-3 all.
