Duke's doubles tandem of Phillip King and Michael Yani earned a three-set win over Oliver Maiberger and Ryan Redondo of San Diego State to advance to the semifinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship in College Station, Texas.

After dropping the opening set, 6-4, King and Yani battled back for a 6-4 win in the second. The duo then picked up an early break and rolled for a 6-3 score in the final set.

King and Yani will face the second-seeded tandem of Scott Lipsky and David Martin of Stanford on Sunday. Back on February 8, Lipsky and Martin defeated King and Yani, 8-6. Also on Sunday, Martin will play in the semifinals of the national singles bracket against Matias Boeker of Georgia.
