Barroso-Campos Earns Automatic Bid, No. 9 Seed for NCAA Singles Championship
INDIANAPOLIS, May 1, 2019 – The NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Subcommittee has selected the 64 singles players and 32 doubles teams that will compete in the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships, including USF senior No. 15
Alberto Barroso-Campos.
Barroso-Campos is 20-2 in singles and has been instrumental in the Bulls rise to its fifth American Athletic Conference Championship this season. The Spaniard has played on USF's top court all season and has five ranked wins in his last season with the Bulls. The senior currently rides a four-game winning streak that includes a straight-set victory, 6-1, 6-4, in USF's championship game in the American Athletic Conference tournament.
The singles and doubles competition will be conducted May 20-25 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida, after the conclusion of the team championship, which runs from May 16-19. The University of Central Florida and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission will serve as hosts.
All matches shall be the best-of-three sets. No-ad scoring and a 7-point tiebreaker (first to seven points, must win by two points) at six-games-all will be used for all matches. In doubles, a 10-point match tiebreaker will be played in lieu of a third set.
Automatic qualification into the Division I singles championship is awarded to any conference with one or more eligible singles players ranked in the ITA Top 125 for eligible/entered singles players. For conferences with more than one singles player within the ITA Top 125 eligible/entered singles players, the subcommittee applies the NCAA selection criteria to determine which student-athlete is the automatic qualifier from those conferences. All singles players must have a minimum of 13 started singles matches, with six matches in the spring, in order to be selected as an automatic qualifier or an at-large selection.
