UNC freshman William Blumberg advanced with a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 win over JJ Wolf, a freshman from Ohio State. He plays again on Thursday at 11:30 a.m., facing California's Andre Goransson for the second time in a week. The two played on Thursday, when the Tar Heels opened team tournament play in Athens with a 4-1 win over the Golden Bears in the Sweet 16.
