Two years ago in Cary at this event, Simon Soendergaard and Mac Kiger came from behind to win a thrilling ITA Carolina Regional doubles championship, beating Furman's Jake Bhangdia and Jake Munns in the final at the Cary Tennis Center.

After losing the first set, 6-7 (4), Soendergaard and Kiger won the second set, 6-4, and the third by a score of 10-7. The Tar Heel duo ripped off six consecutive wins at the regional.
