Qualifying for November’s National Indoor Intercollegiates in New York City is underway at 8 different sites across the country. There are 12 ITA Regions on both the men’s and women’s sides with the winner at each location earning a spot in the main draw at the last big event on the fall college tennis schedule. The other 16 regionals (8 men/8 women) will take place next week.
Down at the bottom of this post I have a list of those that have already qualified for the NIICs so I wouldn’t expect to see any of them participating at an ITA Regional (unless they are trying to qualify for doubles). Players must at least make the quarterfinals to be eligible for an at-large entry into the NIICs.
Below are the top 8 seeds at each of the 8 regional along with a link to streaming video (if available).
