History of College MatchDay

The series began in 2013 before moving to the National Campus in 2017 

February 23, 2022

College MatchDay was created in 2013 by the USTA to showcase some of the best college tennis teams and campuses the sport has to offer. In 2017 with the opening of the Campus and its Collegiate Center in Orlando, College MatchDay now has a permanent home.

 

Some of the most memorable crowds have been a part of College MatchDay, including 1,033 fans for the first event in 2013 when the Florida women topped Stanford in Gainesville. One year later, 1,072 fans watched as visiting Texas defeated the TCU men.

 

Since moving to the Campus, College MatchDay eventually produced some of the largest crowds to attend regular-season college tennis matches. Along with over 1,700 fans who attended the Florida vs. Florida State contests in 2017 and 2018, an average of more than 1,800 tickets and passes were acquired for the 2019 season. One year later, two of the largest crowds to watch a women's-only match stormed the Campus for Florida State vs. Ohio State and Notre Dame vs. USC.

 

When MatchDay returned in 2022, all tickets (more than 2,000) were acquired for matches that featured the men and women of Florida and Florida State, as well as Air Force and Army.
