CHAPEL HILL - The North Carolina men's and women's tennis teams are both the defending ITA National Indoor Team Champions after capturing their respective 2021 titles last winter. The Tar Heels begin defense of their national titles by hosting the ITA Kick-Off Weekend this Friday-Sunday from the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center indoor courts.
The women's bracket features No. 3 Carolina, Charlotte, Oregon and Tulsa, while the men's side has No. 17 UNC, Arizona State, No. 5Â Ohio State and Northwestern.
Spectators will be allowed inside Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. Masks must be worn at all times when not actively eating or drinking. Limited concessions will be available.
Fans can also follow along with live stats and through the PlaySight video streaming service. Links are associated with this story.
The action begins Friday with a pair of women's matches - Oregon and Tulsa at 10 a.m. followed by Carolina and Charlotte at 1:30 p.m.
Â
The two winning teams will square off in the championship match on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The consolation match is slated for Saturday at 6 p.m.
On the men's side, Arizona State and Ohio State are the first of four Saturday matches at 9 a.m. with Carolina and Northwestern scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
The consolation match will take place on Sunday at noon and the championship match at 3 p.m.
The winner of the title matches advance to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. The Carolina women's team are the two-time defending champions, have won the title five times overall and have reached the finals of the event seven years in a row. The 2022 edition will take place Feb. 11-14 in Madison Wisconsin. The Tar Heels won the title the last time it was held in Madison back in 2018, a 4-2 victory over Pepperdine.
The men's indoor championship is Feb. 18-21 in Seattle. The Tar Heels knocked off Baylor, 4-1, in 2021 to garner their second indoor title in program history. UNC became just the second school and the first since Stanford in 2000 to win both the men's and women's championships in the same year.
