Members of the Virginia women’s tennis team concluded play at the 2025 ITA Women’s All-American Championship on Thursday at Cary Tennis Park in Cary, N.C.

The Cavaliers had two doubles teams win their first-round matches, but both the tandems of Melodie Collard and Vivian Yang and Annabelle Xu and Martina Genis Salas fell on Thursday in the second round and were eliminated from the tournament. Collard and Yang were the No. 4 seed in the draw.

Xu also competed in the singles main draw, but lost her opener and then was eliminated on Thursday after dropping a match in the consolation bracket.

Yang and Collard both competed in the singles qualifying tournament but did not advance to the main round. Genis Salas and Isabelle Lacy both played in prequalifying singles.

The All-American was the first opportunity for players to qualify for this year’s NCAA Individual Championships. Ten singles players will qualify for the NCAA Individual Championships (eight main draw quarterfinalists & two feed-in consolation finalists) and four doubles teams (four main draw semifinalists).

The Cavaliers will have two more opportunities to qualify for the NCAA Championships at the ITA Atlantic Regional, being held Oct. 16-21 in Blacksburg, and the ITA Sectional, Nov. 6-9 in Chapel Hill, N.C.
