Matchups Announced For American Collegiate Wild Card Playoffs
June 13, 2025 | Women's Tennis
North Carolina's All-America doubles team of junior Reese Brantmeier and freshman Alanis Hamilton will play their first match in the American Collegiate Wild Card Playoffs on Tuesday in Orlando, the USTA announced.
Brantmeier and Hamilton will face Olivia Center and Kate Fakih of UCLA in Tuesday's semifinal. The winner will meet either DJ Bennett and Ava Hrastar of Auburn or Kaitlyn Carnicella and Sarah Hammer of South Carolina in Wednesday's final.
The new event featuring the top American collegiate players, which was announced earlier this spring, will more than double the average number of American collegiate players who earn US Open wild cards this year, with six guaranteed US Open wild card entries up for grabs. The winners of the singles and doubles competitions will earn US Open main draw singles and doubles wild cards, respectively, while the men's and women's singles finalists will earn US Open qualifying wild cards.
Brantmeier and Hamilton finished the year ranked No. 2 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's doubles rankings while helping lead the Tar Heels to their second consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference championship and the NCAA Championship semifinals.
The event will be held from June 16-18 in Orlando at the USTA National Campus. The singles semifinals will be played on Monday June 16, followed by the doubles semifinals on Tuesday June 17Â and all finals will be contested on Wednesday June 18. The event is free and matches will begin each day at 5 p.m. in order to maximize in-person attendance, while all matches will also be streamed on the USTA National Campus website.
