In singles, two more seeded players were upset Sunday, and only four seeded players remain for Monday’s quarterfinals.

Unseeded players advancing to the quarters were Florida’s Orkin and Maxx Lipman, South Florida’s Sasha Gozun and Florida Gulf Coast’s Jordi Vives, who knocked off No. 7 seed Wilfredo Gonzalez of Miami in three sets. Lipman needed three sets to ooutlast Miami’s William Albanese, and Gozun upset top-16 seed Diego Soto of the Hurricanes.
Georgia Tech’s Casey Kay, who knocked off fifth-seeded Hernus Pieters Saturday, lost to Lipman, 6-4, 6-4, in the round of 32 Sunday. Two Georgia Tech players advanced to the quarterfinals of the back draw of singles – Rakitt beat Georgia Southern’s Oliver Webb and Georgia State’s Jannis Koeke in straight sets, while Carlos Benito downed Kennesaw State’s Jake Bouchillon and Georgia State’s Eric Baum in straight sets.
