The 2019 NCAA Division I Tennis Championships were men's and women's tennis tournaments played concurrently from May 3 to May 25, 2019, at campus sites and at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.[1] The events marked the 74th edition of the NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championship[2] and the 38th edition of the NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship.[3]

The University of Texas won its first men's tennis national title with a 4–1 victory in the final over Wake Forest, the defending champion. Stanford University captured its record 20th women's tennis championship, shutting out top seed Georgia.

Paul Jubb of South Carolina and Estela Pérez-Somarriba of Miami (Florida) were crowned men's and women's singles champions. UCLA won both the men's and women's doubles titles - Maxime Cressy and Keegan Smith in the men's, and Gabby Andrews and Ayan Broomfield in the women's. It was the first time since 1988 that a school swept the NCAA doubles championships.[4]

Men's Singles Championship

[edit]

Entering the championship, Nuno Borges of Mississippi State had not lost a single match throughout the spring season, with a perfect 25–0 record at the No. 1 singles position.[5] The senior advanced to the final without dropping a set.

South Carolina's Paul Jubb, seeded fourth, upset top-seeded Borges in the championship, 6–3, 7–6. Borges had defeated Jubb twice in the regular season.[6] Jubb became the first national collegiate tennis champion representing South Carolina, and the first British man to win the NCAA men's singles championship.[7]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Carl Söderlund of Virginia was originally named the third seed in the tournament, but withdrew prior to the tournament due to injury. The fourth through eighth seeds were each moved up a seed and Crawford was moved from a 9-16 seed to the 8th seed.
  2. ^ Petros Chrysochos and Borna Gojo of Wake Forest, Axel Geller of Stanford, and Thomas Laurent of Oregon were originally named to the list of 9-16 seeds, but withdrew prior to the tournament. Blumberg, Cressy, and Schretter were selected as seeds. Two seeded positions (including the spot of Crawford who became the 8th seed) were replaced by unseeded players.
