The third weekend of Adult 18 & Over Sectional Championship play wrapped up another round of USTA Adult League competition as USTA Florida crowned champions in three more divisions. Teams from around the state brought their best across singles and doubles courts, closing out the section season with strong performances from the first serve to the final point.
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. Every champion this weekend now advances to the USTA League National Championships, set for October.
Here is how each division played out.
