Illinois women's tennis head coach Evan Clark has announced the 2024 fall schedule, featuring up to nine events for the Fighting Illini. For the first time, the fall tournament slate will culminate in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships, held separately from the spring team championship.
The fall season will commence with a split weekend at the Baylor-hosted H-E-B Invitational from September 20-22 and ITA All-American Championships in Cary, N.C., from September 21-29 for those who qualify.
October begins with another weekend of divide and conquer as the Orange and Blue head to both the Notre Dame Invite and SMU Invitational from October 4-6. The following week, Illinois travels to Columbus, Ohio, for the ITA Midwest Regional scheduled for October 10-14.
Next on the schedule is the TCU Jae Foundation Invitational running from October 31 – November 3. Illinois will then participate in the ITA Sectionals in Ann Arbor, Mich., from November 7-10 with a chance to send representatives to the ITA Conference Masters in San Diego, Calif., during that same weekend.
Fall action concludes at the Hurd Tennis Center at Baylor from November 19-24. Illini can qualify through various championships: ITA All-American Championships (10 singles, four doubles), ITA Regional Championships (26 singles, 13 doubles), ITA Conference Masters Championship (four singles, three doubles), and ITA Sectional Championships (24 singles, 12 doubles).
