Hedley and Wynn advance to round of 16 in singles
The University of Louisville men's tennis team opened the 49th Annual Southern Intercollegiate Championships with five singles wins on Friday.

Newcomer Nicolas Rouanet took the Florida's No.1 player to three sets and Chris Morin-Kougoucheff had three match points who was at one time was the top recruit in America."
Â
