WACO, Texas – Baylor men’s tennis head coach Michael Woodson announced the 2024 fall schedule on Saturday afternoon. For the first time, the fall tournament slate will end in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championship, held split from the spring team championship for its pilot year at the Hurd Tennis Center in Waco.



“We are thrilled to be hosting a wealth of events this fall at both the Hurd Tennis Center and our amazing partners, Waco Regional Tennis Center,” said Woodson. “Headlined by the first ever NCAA Fall Individual Championships, we are excited to give our student-athletes the opportunities to compete at the highest levels of the college and pro games while preparing for what will be a historic dual match season in the spring. The guys returning to campus is always my favorite time of the year, so August 26th can’t get here soon enough!”



The Bears are set to host a multitude of tournaments this fall with five scheduled events being held in Waco. Starting out the fall, Baylor hosts the Waco Fall Kickoff Classic from Sept. 13-15. Split with those who qualify, a select group of student-athletes will travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the ITA All-American Championships in a nine-day bout from Sept. 21-29.



Returning to Waco, Baylor will play host to conference foes and opponents from the Southeastern Conference as it will host the Big 12/SEC Challenge at the Hurd Tennis Center from Oct. 4-6. The ITA Texas Regionals will also be held in Waco from Oct. 17-22.



In November, the Bears will travel up the road to Fort Worth to compete in the ITA Sectionals from Nov. 7-10. Additionally, select athletes will have an opportunity to get extra reps in at the Hurd Tennis Center in the NCAA Qualified +1 from Nov. 8-10 before the individual national championships begin.
