World TeamTennis action continued Tuesday with eight of the nine teams in action at The Greenbrier.

Here is a look at how the four matchups played out.

                   

Vegas Rollers def. Orange County Breakers, 21-19

The Rollers beat the Breakers in a tight match on Tuesday night, winning three of five sets en route to a 21-19 victory.

After dropping the first two sets, Orange County got back into the match after Steve Johnson beat Sam Querrey 5-4 in men's singles and Gabriela Dabrowski and Andreja Klepac beat Ajla Tomljanovic and Monica Puig 5-2 in women's doubles.

The Breakers went into the final set up 17-16 before Bob and Mike Bryan won 5-2 in men's doubles to close out the match.

Both of the Bryans and Sam Querrey each finished with six aces apiece, while Querrey won an impressive 16 of 18 first-service points. 

The victory moved Vegas to 4-4 on the season, while Orange County dropped to 3-5, just a half-game ahead of the Springfield Lasers for the worst record in the league. 

                 

Philadelphia Freedoms def. Chicago Smash, 23-19

The Freedoms keep on rolling. 

In a clash of the league's two best teams thus far this season, Philly moved to 6-1 with a 23-19 victory over the Smash, winning the first four sets (men's doubles, men's singles, mixed doubles and women's singles) before finally dropping a set in women's doubles.

They then won the second game of extended play to close out the match. Taylor Townsend and Caroline Dolehide closed things out with this epic final point:

Taylor Fritz and Fabrice Martin controlled the match with their service, each registering eight aces.

The Smash moved to 5-2 with the loss.

             

Orlando Storm def. Washington Kastles 23-17

The Storm further solidified their standing in the playoff race and knocked down the Kastles in a come-from-behind 23-17 victory Tuesday.

The Kastles took both the men's singles and women's singles sets before Orlando dominated the doubles. Jessica Pegula and Darija Jurak deserved a lion's share of the credit, with their 5-1 win over Arina
Rodionova and Bernarda Pera catapulting the Storm ahead going into the final set. Pera had defeated Pegula 5-4 in their singles match in the second set. 

Pegula and Ken Skupski earned 5-3 wins in mixed doubles, and Skupski teamed with Tennys Sandgren for a 5-3 win in men's doubles to cap things off for Orlando.

Tommy Paul had defeated Sandgren 5-4 in men's singles earlier in the match. 

                 

Springfield Lasers def. New York Empire 25-17

For just the second time this season, the Springfield Lasers are winners at TeamTennis. The Lasers turned in a mostly dominant performance, taking four of the first five head-to-head sets before losing in mixed doubles and extra play in the 25-17 final.

Mitchell Krueger got a surprising 5-4 victory over Jack Sock in their men's singles match before the Lasers went a combined 15-5 New York over the women's doubles, men's doubles and women's singles matches. 

Springfield came into Tuesday with just a 1-5 record and in last place in the standings.
