Following a week of training, the team will host the Thunderbird Invitational from Oct. 31-Nov. 2, hosting a number of schools and players for three days of singles and doubles play.
The Sun Devils will have another chance to qualify for the NCAA singles and doubles Championships at the ITA Sectionals and/or Masters tournament set for Nov. 6-9. in Seattle, Washington or San Diego, California, respectively.
The NCAA Singles and Doubles championships are set for Nov. 19-24 in Orlando, Florida to cap off the fall season.
About the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships
In January of 2023, the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved a two-year pilot program to hold the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Individual Championships in the fall of 2024 and 2025. The ITA office, along with the NCAA Singles & Doubles Pathway Task Force (consisting of ITA member coaches), has worked diligently over the past several years to create a clearly defined and accessible pathway for student-athletes to earn entry into the fall 2025 NCAA Individual Championships.
