The top teams in college tennis are gathered in Athens, Georgia, this weekend for the final rounds of the NCAA men’s and women’s championships.
The initial 64-team brackets have been narrowed to the final eight men’s and women’s teams, who are set to face off in quarterfinal action Thursday and Friday, with the semifinals set for Saturday and the finals Sunday.
Both reigning national champions are back and looking for a repeat as the top seeds in their respective brackets. Wake Forest leads the way on the men’s side thanks in large part to its depth; the Demon Deacons don’t have a player ranked in the singles top 25.
Georgia leads the women’s bracket as it shoots for a third consecutive appearance in the final and back-to-back titles. The Bulldogs have the advantage of playing on their home courts at NCAAs for the first time since 2017.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the final steps to team champions being crowned this weekend.
