Insanely Competitive Matches Highlight Adult 18 & Over 3.0/4.5 Sectional Championships



USTA Florida hosted a thrilling Adult 18 & Over 3.0/4.5 Sectional Championship as teams from across the state gathered to compete in some of the most competitive tennis matches this year.  


There were four divisions in play and all weekend long there was top quality tennis being played. The finals were no different, with every single one coming down to just one line. 


In the 3.0, the Women saw Miami-Dade County and Orange County locked into a tight one. With the singles lines being split, it took a resilient effort from Miami-Dade in the doubles to win 3-2. For the Men, Broward County and Orange County were going back and forth. Avenging the women’s loss, Orange was able to bounce back after losing both singles lines and took the championship 3-2. 


Over in the 4.5 draws, it was the same type of action. For the women, Orange County battled Hillsborough with the two trading lines with one another. In the end, Orange was able to take down Hillsborough and win the title. In the men’s, Hillsborough County got revenge and took down Broward County in a 3-2 final score to win their sectional. 


All these winners have qualified for the National Championships later this fall. Let’s take a look at how these matches went down.
