Campus 1-Day Showdowns

The USTA and the ITA have teamed up once again, this time to create Campus 1-Day Showdowns. The events, held on college campuses, allow juniors, college players, professionals and adults to compete together. The ultimate goal of the program is to get more American players in college programs, strengthen college's ties with their community, and prevent the trend of college tennis teams being cut.

On Sunday, November 23rd Northwestern University will be hosting a co-ed campus showdown. Events utilize compass draws for both singles and doubles, guaranteeing 3-4 matches for each draw, and ensuring competitive match play throughout. Matches are usually one set with a tiebreaker at 5-5, although format and scoring is at the discretion of the director.
