RALEIGH -- Austin Ansari of Greensboro Page won both his matches on Saturday to take the single championship in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 4-A men's tennis championships at Millbrook Exchange Park.

Ansari defeated Graham Duncan of Apex 6-2, 6-4 in the finals after rolling in his morning semifinal in straight 6-2 sets over Mike Roberts of Charlotte Ardrey Kell.

Chad Hoskins and Paul Yamane of Winston-Salem R.J. Reynolds triumphed in the doubles championship, beating Greensboro Grimsley's Will Albright and Graham Pearson 6-3, 6-1.

Albright and Pearson had earned their berth in the finals by rallying from a set down to win their semifinal match over Bo Boyden and Jensen Martin of Raleigh Wakefield.

Yamane had been a part of the R.J. Reynolds state runner-up duo a year ago, as he and Jack Riazzi fell to Quinn Carmean and Sean Carmean of Raleigh Millbrook in the championship match.
