Women's Tennis Releases 2024 Fall Schedule
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas women’s tennis head coach Tucker Clary announced the team’s 2024 fall schedule Friday, opening fall competition next weekend in two events.
The Razorbacks kick off their 2024 fall state in a pair of simultaneous events starting on Friday, Sept. 20 as they travel to Manhattan, Kan., for the K-State Invitational (Sept. 20-22) and to Cary, N.C., for the ITA All-American Championships (Sept. 21-29).
The Hogs hit the road again at the beginning of October for the SMU Fall Invite (Oct. 4-6) before heading to Memphis, Tenn., for the ITA Central Region Championships (Oct. 9-14). The team returns to The Natural State to host its only fall tournament at Billingsley Tennis Center, competing in the PTT 25K Fayetteville from Oct. 20-26.
Various members of the squad will then play in two overlapping tournaments from Nov. 7-10 as the Razorbacks travel to San Diego for the ITA Conference Masters and to Ann Arbor, Mich,, for the ITA Sectional Championships.
Arkansas will conclude the fall season with the NCAA Singles & Doubles Championships hosted by Baylor University in Waco, Texas, from Nov. 19-24. In January of 2023, the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved a two-year pilot program to hold the event in the fall of 2024 and 2025.
The ITA office, along with the NCAA Singles & Doubles Pathway Task Force, created a clearly defined and accessible pathway for student-athletes to earn entry into the fall 2024 and fall 2025 NCAA Individual Championships. At the ITA All-American Championships, 10 singles players (eight main draw quarterfinalists & two feed-in consolation finalists) and four doubles teams (four main draw semifinalists) will qualify for the NCAA Singles & Doubles Championships.
At the ITA Regional Championships, the two singles finalists and doubles champion from each region will earn a bid to Waco. At the ITA Conference Masters, the four main draw semifinalists and three doubles teams (champion, finalist, third place) will qualify for the NCAA Singles & Doubles Championships, while at the ITA Sectional Championships, six singles players (semifinalists & two quarterfinal playoff winners) and three doubles teams (champion, finalist, third place) from each section will make the trip to Waco.

The Hogs enter the fall season with one ranked singles player in No. 18 Carolina Gomez Alonso and two ranked doubles pairs in No. 51 Anet Koskel/Grace O’Donnell and No. 71 Gomez Alonso/Olga Bienzobas.
