How It Happened: Laurent had a difficult test in his first round singles match taking on Will Bushamuka of Kentucky who is currently ranked ninth in the country.
The French international had to fight from behind throughout the match rallying from a 4-1 deficit in the first set to tie it up 4-4. Bushamuka would hold on to win the first set 7-5.
The second set had a similar start with Bushamuka jumping out to a 3-0 lead, but Laurent managed to find his groove sending the match into a third set winning 12 of the final 13 games to defeat Bushamuka 5-7, 6-4, 6-0.
In doubles play, Laurent and senior Cormac Clissold drew the second-seeded duo of Will Little and Johannes Schretter of Baylor in the first round.
After falling behind early, Laurent and Clissold pulled to within one game 5-4, but could not complete the comeback dropping the opening set 6-4. The 19th-ranked Baylor pair went on to win the match 6-4, 6-2.
Up Next: Laurent will face another challenge in the second round of singles play Thursday taking on No. 22 Harrison Scott of Texas at 11:15 a.m. PT.
