BERKELEY – Three Golden Bears advanced to Sunday's semifinals of main draw singles at the USTA/ITA Northwest Regional Championships, as top-seeded Andre Goransson, third-seeded Billy Griffith and fifth-seeded Filip Bergevi won in Saturday quarterfinals at the Hellman Tennis Complex. Despite a brief rain delay, all of Saturday's matches were completed at Hellman and at the Channing Tennis Courts before the rain began in earnest in the evening.
 
In the last match of the day at Hellman and amidst the cold and wind, the 17th-ranked Goransson defeated Stanford's Michael Genender, 6-4, 6-0, to earn a spot in the semifinals. Earlier in the day, the Cal senior beat James Wade of UC Davis, 6-3, 6-1, in the round of 16.
 
Both Goransson's and Bergevi's quarterfinal – the last two matches at Hellman – were delayed a few minutes by rain, but both matches quickly resumed. Bergevi, ranked 77th, battled back from a first-set loss to Portland's Mathieu Garcia, a co-17th seed to win, 4-6, 7-5, 6-0. The senior Bear had beaten Stanford's Brandon Sutter, another 17th seed, 6-3, 6-4 in the round of 16.
 
Bergevi's semifinal opponent will be Griffith, his teammate who's ranked 61st. The junior rebounded from a 5-1 deficit in the first set against Fresno State's Euan McIntosh to prevail 7-5, 6-3. Griffith earlier beat Oregon's Simon Stevens, the 12th seed, 7-5, 6-2, to get to the quarters.
 
Goransson will next face Portland's Mike Pervolarakis, the 13th seed, who topped Oregon's eighth-seeded Jayson Amos, 6-4, 7-5, in the quarters.
 
The day started with the main draw doubles round of 16. At Hellman, the Cal duo of sophomore J.T. Nishimura and freshman Bjorn Hoffmann handled the Oregon pair of Ethan Young-Smith and Ty Gentry, 8-2. The eighth-seeded Bears will play Stanford's ninth-seeded Sameer Kumar and Yale Goldberg in Sunday's quarterfinals.
 
The third-seeded pair of Goransson and Griffith likewise posted an 8-2 victory, over Fresno State's Mantas Bugailiskis and Xander Veys. The Bears will face Washington's Amit Batta and Mitch Stewart on Sunday.
 
Rain is in the forecast for Sunday, though if it is dry in the morning, main draw doubles quarterfinals will begin at 10 a.m. and then doubles semifinals will be scheduled for 11 a.m. The two main draw singles semifinals would start at 1 p.m., with all the main draw matches taking place at the Hellman Tennis Complex. Consolation singles and doubles matches will take place mainly at the Channing Tennis Courts.
 
The Broadway Tennis Center in Burlingame and Bay Club SF Tennis in San Francisco are again the indoor alternatives – Sunday night – in the event of rain.
