SEATTLE – For just the second time in program history, the Husky women's tennis team is set to serve as the host for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships, along with the Seattle Tennis Club. Washington will be joined by fifteen of the NCAA's best quads for the four-day championship event from Friday-Monday, Feb. 10-13, at the Nordstrom Tennis Center and the Seattle Tennis Club.
The Huskies will have the challenge of taking on the No. 1 seed and No. 1-ranked team in the country in their first round match. Washington (5-1) will face Texas (6-0) at 6:30 p.m. on Friday at the NTC. The Longhorns have won the past two NCAA Championships.
Admission: Tickets are $10 per day at the Nordstrom Tennis Center or $25 for the full tournament. All children under 18 are free, as well as all UW Students and Staff with I.D. All matches at Seattle Tennis Club are free to attend.

The Format and Schedule: The fifteen teams joining UW all had to win twice during ITA Kickoff Weekend to qualify for National Team Indoors. Now here in Seattle, every team will play at least three matches. Two teams will come through the winners bracket with three wins in three days, and those two will play for the title on Monday, playing a fourth match in four days.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will see four matches played at both the Nordstrom Tennis Center and Seattle Tennis Club. Match times for all days at both sites will be 9 a.m., 12 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. The championship will be Monday at the Nordstrom Tennis Center at 12 noon.
The Field: The fifteen teams joining Washington, ordered by national ITA ranking, are as follow: #1 Texas, #2 North Carolina, #3 Texas A&M, #4 Duke, #5 Georgia, #6 Stanford, #7 Virginia, #8 Pepperdine, #9 Vanderbilt, #11 Ohio State, #12 Michigan, #13 Auburn, #14 Iowa State, #15 Oklahoma, #17 San Diego.
Scouting Texas: The two-time defending national champs, Texas booked its trip to Seattle by defeating Fresno State and Baylor. Texas also is coming off a 6-1 win over USC. Four UT players are included in the current ITA national Top 125 singles rankings: Charlotte Chavatipon (No. 61), Malaika Rapolu (No. 69), Sabina Zeynalova (No. 71) and Marlee Zein (No. 113). One pair is included in the current ITA national Top 60 doubles rankings (Feb. 8): Charlotte Chavatipon and Sabina Zeynalova (No. 47).
UW at ITA National Team Indoors: This is the eighth appearance all-time for Washington at the final site of the National Team Indoors, and the second time as host. Last season, UW successfully advanced through qualifying by upsetting UCLA on the road to move on to Madison Wisc., but the Huskies were unable to get a win in their three matches at nationals. When last hosting, in 2019, the Huskies lost their first round match to Vanderbilt but then knocked off North Carolina State in the back draw of a snowstorm-shortened event.
Washington's first appearance at ITA N.T.I. was back in 2001, and its best finish came in 2004 when the Huskies made the semifinals, tying for third.
