NCAAs should be in Athens every other year until another site proves it can host the event at this level.
The venue has intimacy, energy, and real college tennis atmosphere. Especially when Georgia is involved.

Final thoughts from Athens:
In no uncertain terms, this place rocks.
It was a great 2 days from a facility that deserves to be a premier home of college tennis.
Congrats to @UVAMensTennis and @AggieWTEN on their national titles!

Weaver says that this year's national title "feels a lot better...Getting it this season, with so many question marks, uncertainty, and doubts...in a lot of ways, this one's more enjoyable. I think we had a lot more challenges against us this year, a lot more adversity, and I feel like this one is perhaps more enjoyable in some different ways."

Texas A&M HC Mark Weaver:
“There was a lot of uncertainty this season. A lot of people probably didn’t think we’d maybe make the Sweet 16 this year. It’s unbelievable what we’ve done. The girls deserve all the credit in the world.”

Even with Perez's obvious heroics, well-deserved honor for Smetannikov after clinching the title match.

Perez has responded with a dominant set of her own, 6-2.
We’re going the distance on court 1.

👀 DJ Bennett takes the first set from #1 ranked (and unbeaten) Lucciana Perez. #Auburn has come out of the delay firing. That’s 3 first sets for the Tigers.
English
And then there were 4. Who do you WANT to win the whole thing?

@407_florida @Brooks_UGA This is misleading.
There’s less seating on that bank of courts, among many other valid explanations.
Athens should at minimum be in a rotation to host the NCAA finals, that’s just my 2 cents.

@Brooks_UGA I love how everyone cherry picks the picture, here's what I saw. The D2 schools get bigger crowds when they play in Orlando

I respectfully ask the NCAA tennis oversight committee to reevaluate the 10 year commitment that was made to Orlando. A decision that was essentially made behind closed doors without giving any campus sites an opportunity to bid on any of those years. I haven't met one athlete, coach, or fan that prefers this tournament be played on off campus sites.

Clemson could get two big pickups tomorrow 👀 Chandler and Leavell are both set to make their decisions.

Good on Josh Brooks, the UGA Athletic Director, to make this declaration. While the USTA National Campus is an amazing facility that does a lot of good, the University of Georgia, and all college tennis players, deserve to have the NCAAs hosted in Athens more frequently.
