2024-25 NCAA Division I women’s tennis singles and doubles championships selections announced

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Subcommittee has selected the 64 singles players and 32 doubles teams that will compete in the 2024-25 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Singles and Doubles Championships. This is year one of a two-year pilot for the singles and doubles championships to be conducted in the fall, with the team championships continuing to be in the spring.

The singles and doubles competition will be conducted Nov. 19-24 at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco, Texas. Baylor University serves as host.
All matches shall be the best-of-three sets. No-ad scoring and a seven-point tiebreaker (first to seven points, must win by two points) at six-games-all will be used for all matches. In doubles, a 10-point match tiebreaker will be played in lieu of a third set.

Singles and doubles participants qualified to the Division I singles and doubles championships via competition in approved qualifying pathway events. The qualifying pathway events, including the number of players advancing into the singles and doubles championships for each event are as follows:

• ITA All-American Championships – 10 singles players (eight main draw quarterfinalists and two feed-in consolation finalists) and four doubles teams (four main draw semifinalists).
• ITA Regional Championships – each of the 13 regions will advance two singles players (two finalists) and one doubles team (winner).
• ITA Conference Masters – each Division I conference eligible for team automatic qualification will have the opportunity to have its singles and doubles conference tournament winners, or, if no conference tournament is conducted, nominate one singles player and one doubles team, to participate. The ITA Conference Masters field size will mirror the number of eligible AQ conferences each year. The four singles semifinalists, plus three doubles teams (two finalists plus the third/fourth playoff winner), will qualify for the singles and doubles championships.
• ITA Sectional Championships – each of the four sectionals will advance six singles players (the four singles semifinalists plus the two winners of the quarterfinal playoffs), and three doubles teams (the two doubles finalists plus the plus the third/fourth playoff winner).
