Upsets under the lights: top seeds pushed in men’s doubles
After over four hours of rain delays, Wednesday’s Round of 32 play at the Fasenra Virginia Beach Cup presented by JOOLA ended with men’s doubles action.
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. 19 DJ Young/Roscoe Bellamy def. No. 11 Noe Khlif/Rafa Hewett 7-11, 11-8, 11-8.
- No. 2 Federico Staksrud/Hayden Patriquin def. No. 25 Anderson Scarpa/Greg Dow 11-7, 8-11, 12-10.
- 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.
- No. 5 Dekel Bar/Tyson McGuffin def. No. 28 Zane Ford/John Lucian Goins 3-11, 11-3, 11-9.
- No. 24 Jonathan Truong/Tam Trinh def. No. 9 Riley Newman/Pat Smith 11-4, 6-11, 11-7.
UPSET ALERT 🚨
— Carvana PPA Tour (@PPAtour) October 8, 2025
#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.
