The USTA National Campus played as host to a strong weekend of USTA Florida League competition as the Florida section crowned its Adult 18 & Over Sectional Champions.
Across singles and doubles courts, teams from around the state delivered close matches and high-level play from the first serve to the final point.
USTA League play follows a clear path. Teams compete through the local season, and the top teams in each division advance to the Sectional Championships. Adult 18 & Over teams compete by NTRP rating, with each dual match decided across singles and doubles courts and the team winning the most courts taking the tie.
The winners this weekend now advance to the USTA League National Championships, set for October. Here is how each division played out.
