The top 24 seeds for the NJSIAA girls tennis state singles tournament, and the top 12 duos for the state doubles tournament were released on Thursday following the discussion at the NJSIAA headquarters in Robbinsville during the seeding meeting.
Have a look below to see who was seeded for the two tournaments.
Note that the draws won’t be posted until Sept. 29.
The tournaments will be played, weather permitting, from Oct. 4-12 at Mercer County Park in West Windsor and Veterans Park in Hamilton.
New for this year, a player must have competed in 50% of her team’s matches up until the cutoff date in order to be eligible for the postseason. Those with extraordinary circumstances such as injuries/medical reasons or return from academic ineligibility, must compete in at least 50% of the team’s remaining matches through the cutoff date.
Also, a singles wildcard entrant for this fall also needs to have at least a 5.38 UTR (last year’s median UTR). Doubles wildcards should not have a combined UTR lower than 7.00.
Stay tuned for a full preview for both tournaments and complete coverage.
