Question
Hi,
I was just wondering what are the tournaments for womens tennis.
I know for ATP its futures, challenger, etc..
Is it just ITF tournaments?
Like, how would you proceed after college tennis? (After you can't participate in USTA stuff)
Thanks a lot.
Dear A.S.,
Thanks for your question.
Simply go to the WTA, USTA and ITF websites, and you'll find all the information you're looking for. The women's tour also has satellite and challenger series events.
Copy and paste the link below, and you'll see a whole lot of tournaments here in the U.S.

A lot of players who have played and graduated college tennis still play USTA tournaments and even USTA league tennis.
Good luck in continuing to play tennis at any level. You've got a whole lot of tennis ahead of you. There's even a 90 and over division!
