The 2021 edition of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s (ITA) National Fall Championships will be hosted by the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego, California. The annual tournament, which is a culmination of all ITA fall competitions, will be contested the first weekend of November.

“We are thrilled to bring this prestigious event to the Barnes Tennis Center this November.  San Diego and the Barnes Tennis Center provide all the things you are looking for in a fantastic host location – great weather, a beautiful facility, and an enthusiastic local tennis community,” remarked ITA Sr. Director of the Competitive Department, Cory Brooks. “We can’t wait to get to work with our partners at Barnes and create what will be a memorable experience for our student-athletes and coaches.”

The ITA National Fall Championships feature 64 of the nation’s top collegiate singles players and 64 doubles teams. The draw will be comprised of 32 men and 32 women in singles and 32 men and 32 women in doubles. The event is in its fifth year, having replaced the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships.
