Three members of the Virginia women’s tennis team will be competing at the 2022 ITA National Fall Championships, being held Wednesday through Sunday at the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego.

The Championships are the grand finale to the fall collegiate tennis season and feature 64 of the nation’s top collegiate singles players (32 men and 32 women) and 64 of the nation’s top collegiate doubles teams (32 men’s teams and 32 women’s teams). The event is in its sixth year, having replaced the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships beginning in 2017.

Grad student Julia Adams and sophomore Elaine Chervinsky earned spots in the singles draw by virtue of being finalists at the ITA Atlantic Regional. Chervinsky and senior Natasha Subhash earned an at-large bid into the doubles draw and will be a 5-8 seed.

Chervinsky will face Kimmi Hance of UCLA  and Julia Adams will take on Carolina Gomez Alonso of Arkansas in Wednesday’s opening round. Chervinsky is in the first wave of matches at noon ET with Adams slated to take the court at 1:45 pm ET.

Chervinsky and Subhash will open the tournament by taking on Maquet and Quiterio of UNCC on Wednesday at 8:30 pm ET.

Live video streams and live stats will be available for the tournament here.

Julia Elbaba is the only Cavalier to have won a title at the event, having done so in 2014.
