The University of Georgia Dan Magill Tennis Complex has been selected to host the 2010 and 2012 NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Tennis Championships.
The best collegiate tennis teams and student-athletes from across the country will be in Athens to showcase their talents and compete for national titles. The Dan Magill Tennis Complex has played host to the men's NCAA Championships 21 times and the women's NCAA Championships four times, most recently in 2007.
The 2010 event (May 20-31) will mark the fifth consecutive year that both the men's and women's titles will be contested in the same location. In 2006, Stanford played host while Georgia followed in 2007 and Tulsa in 2008. The 2009 NCAA Tennis Championships will be at Texas A&M in May. For the men, the NCAA will crown its 65th champion in 2010. For the women, the 2010 champion will mark the 29th. The 2011 NCAA Championships will be at Stanford. Then, the 2012 NCAA Championships return to Athens May 17-28.
Speaking as someone who has attended several NCAAs including Palo Alto, California (Stanford) and Tulsa, Oklahoma (University of Tulsa), Athens is definitely the best venue (no bias here of course). Athens has the most tennis fans by far that come out to watch play and support the tournament. Similar to a UGA football game only on a smaller scale, the NCAAs in Athens brings tailgaters, rowdy fans and an overall great time! Can't wait for the 2010 event - hopefully UGA Men's Tennis will be going for a four-peat! Go Dawgs!
