The matchups are set. With the Ventura player listed first, they are:

At No. 1 singles, Hassan Abbas vs. Nico Ernst. At No. 2 singles, Mattias Muster vs. Jose Hilla. At No. 3 singles, Alex Rigobello vs. Hank Bessinger. At. No. 4 singles, James Preston vs. Troy Kellenberg. At No. 5 singles, Diego Almeida vs. Ignacio Lucero. At No. 6 singles, Ben Steensland vs. David Nicasio.

In making the prematch introductios, Ventura coach Nelson Emery introduced his team with a bevy of nicknames, including "The A-Train" for Abbas, "Moose" for Muster, "Cobra" for Rigobello, "Big Game James" for Preston, and "Big Ben" for Steensland.

For some reason, Almeida, the team's only returning starter, didn't have a nickname.

I would have gone with "The Pirate of Penzance" for Preston, who hails from Penzance, England.
