Somdev Devvarman continued his hot streak at the NCAA championships as he beat Mississippi's Erling Tveit to post a record 15th win in the final tournament on Friday.
The Indian youngster, who became the US collegiate competition's most successful singles player on Thursday, beat Tveit, 6-1, 6-3 to set up a quarter-final clash with Denes Lukacs of Baylor on Saturday.
Devvarman needed just 80 minutes to top Tveit, and improve to 41-1 in singles for the season. The Virginia senior has won 33 straight matches.
In the doubles, however, top seeds Devvarman and Treat Huey lost 6-3, 6-4 to Conor Pollock and Austin Krajicek of Texas A&M.
