Out of the 16 men’s doubles matches played, eight of them went to three games. Top seeds and favorites to make deep runs were pushed, and some even fell.
Here are those eight score lines:
- No. 23 Jack Sock/Eric Roddy def. No. 10 Hunter Johnson/Augie Ge 11-8, 4-11, 11-5.
- No. 21 Michael Loyd/Martin Emmrich def. No. 14 Ryan Fu/Tyler Loong 11-2, 5-11, 11-3.

- No. 8 Jay Devilliers/Matt Wright def. No. 30 Cason Campbell/Adam Harvey 6-11, 11-9, 11-4.
- No. 18 Marshall Brown/Donald Young def. No. 16 AJ Koller/Travis Rettenmaier 8-11, 11-4, 11-4.

UPSET ALERT 🚨

#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.
