The 2024 NCAA tennis championships are down to the final rounds, with a top-heavy men's bracket and wide-open women's field playing for a national title in Stillwater, Okla.
After falling in the final last year, top-seeded Ohio State is the favorite to take the men's crown in 2024. The Buckeyes have been dominant all season, winning the national indoor title in February and compiling a 33-1 record entering the quarterfinals. That lone loss, however, came at No. 2 seed Texas in March, and a Longhorns team led by two of the top five-ranked singles players in the country, No. 2 Eliot Spizzirri and No. 5 Micah Braswell, will have a great shot at the title.
One thing is certain: There will be a new champion on the men's side after two-time defending national champion Virginia, the third seed, fell to ACC rival Wake Forest in the quarterfinals.
The women's side is more difficult to handicap with the top four seeds out before the semifinals. No. 16 seed Tennessee took out top seed and tournament host Oklahoma State in the super regionals, which also saw No. 13 Texas A&M knock off fourth seed and defending champion North Carolina. No. 7 Georgia then opened the quarterfinals by knocking off No. 2 seed Stanford and No. 6 Pepperdine followed by dumping No. 3 Michigan.
Who will emerge with the titles? Here's how to watch all the action over four days at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Okla.

NCAA tennis championships scoring format
College tennis team competition consists of three doubles and six singles matches between the schools.
Doubles is played first, with a single six-game set decided by a seven-point tiebreaker if it gets to 6-6. Whichever school wins two of the doubles matches gets one point toward the team total.
The six singles matches are best-of-three sets and worth one point each, and the first team to four points overall (including the doubles point) is the winner.
