#24 Tam Trinh & Jonathan Truong def. #9 Pat Smith & Riley Newman
Final Score: 11-4 / 6-11 / 11-7
Staksrud and Patriquin’s win might go down as the match of the day, as the 2024 champions overcame a 4-10 deficit in Game 3 and saved three match points before eventually securing the victory.
Battles like those that fans witnessed on Wednesday have surely set the tone for what should continue to be a highly competitive event on the Atlantic coast.
