Stanford University's women's tennis team has announced its fall schedule, featuring six tournaments starting with the ITA All-American Championships next Saturday in Cary, North Carolina. The announcement was made on Tuesday.
The ITA All-American Championships will take place from September 21-29 at the Cary Tennis Park, which will also host the 2025 ACC Tennis Championships. The tournament's top 10 singles players and four doubles teams will earn bids to the NCAA Individual Championships.
In January 2023, the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee approved a two-year pilot program to hold the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Individual Championships in the fall of 2024 and 2025. Baylor University will host the first of these fall individual championships from November 19-24 in Waco, Texas.
Stanford plans to send student-athletes to several key events, including the Cal Invitational from September 27-29. This will be followed by three more NCAA qualifiers: ITA Regional Championships in Berkeley from October 11-15, ITA Conference Masters at Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego from November 7-10, and ITA Sectional Championships hosted by USC also from November 7-10.
At the ITA Regional Championships, qualification for the NCAA Individual Championships is awarded to the two singles finalists and doubles champions. At ITA Conference Masters, spots are given to singles semifinalists and top three doubles teams. Meanwhile, at Sectional Championships, six singles players and three doubles teams will qualify for Waco.

The Stanford Cardinal enters this fall season with six ranked singles players: Connie Ma (No. 4), Alexis Blokhina (No. 64), Valerie Glozman (No. 69), Katherine Hui (No. 76), Valencia Xu (No. 77), and India Houghton (No.85). These players also form three nationally-ranked doubles teams: Ma and Blokhina are No.19, Xu and Glozman are No.54, while Houghton and Hui are No.57.
