Lutjen moves on to Kamen, Germany where he will compete in singles and doubles. In Zimbabwe, Scholtz is the No. 2 seed followed by Vorster at No. 3. The pair will also team back up in doubles as the No. 2 seed. Scholtz won his first round singles in straight sets, while Vorster will face last week's winner in Zimbabwe, Benjamin Lock, who recently wrapped an All-American career at Florida State.
