WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Brad Dancer was pretty certain he'd have a good doubles pairing in freshmen Alex Brown and Caleb Chakravarthi given their greater-than-typical experience playing doubles as junior players. They came through this season for the Illinois men's tennis coach with more than 20 wins playing together.
The rest of Illinois' doubles lineup took some work to put together. Finding a good match for Aleks Vukic involved some time. The Illini senior has had three different partners this season.
That's been nothing new during his Illinois career, but Vukic has settled in with sophomore Vuk Budic in the last three weeks after teaming up twice in January.
