CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia men’s tennis team has announced its 2021-22 schedule. The Cavaliers will host one tournament in the fall, the Orange and Blue Classic. In the spring, UVA hosts ITA Kickoff Weekend matches and nine duals at their home indoor and outdoor courts at the Boar’s Head Sports Club.

After not playing in fall individual tournaments last season, the players will have an opportunity this year to play in a mixture of professional and collegiate tournaments including the Orange and Blue Classic, being hosted by UVA Sept. 24-26.
