Then, in doubles action, he won twice at No. 3 with Connor Phelps, an 8-1 win over Wisconsin-Superior and an 8-5 win over Hampden-Sydney. He then stepped up into the No. 2 slot with Charles Parnell, defeating a team from Loras 8-2.

The freshman from Hyderabad, India was a perfect 2-0 in singles action while winning his only doubles match as well. Kavali won at No. 6 (6-4, 6-1) over Wisconsin-Superior's Cullen Brown to begin his week before moving up in the lineup to the No. 2 slot and continuing his dominance in a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Loras's Thomas Kampmier. In doubles action, he teamed with Jackson Traylor to win 8-2 at No. 3 over a duo from Loras.
