Arizona men’s tennis defeats Princeton to advance to second round of NCAA tournament

Arizona men’s tennis was pushed to the brink in the opening round of the NCAA championships but prevailed, beating Princeton 4-2 Friday afternoon in Chapel Hill, N.C.

The Wildcats will face the winner of North Carolina vs. Navy Saturday at 1 p.m. PT, with a trip to the Round of 16 on the line.

In singles play, the UA earned quick points from Nick Lagaev, who won 6-3, 6-4 on court No. 6 and from No. 52 Jonas Ziverts, who topped No.
