The Iowa girls high school tennis season has experienced plenty of change over the past few years. One thing, though, has remained constant in Class 1A.

Cedar Rapids Xavier sensation Gabriella Fleming has claimed each of the past three state singles titles in her class. She can join an exclusive list this fall by winning her fourth.

Both the Class 1A and Class 2A singles and doubles tournaments begin on Wednesday, October 7 and conclude the following day. Class 1A will take place in Waukee from Waukee Northwest High School while Class 2A heads to Waterloo and Black Hawk Tennis Club and Byrnes Park.

Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union officials announced two years ago the decision to move girls tennis from the spring to the fall. That hasn’t changed Fleming’s success rate, as she added her third title last year.

Fleming isn’t the only player chasing history. Waukee Northwest’s Addison Latta looks for her second title after winning in Class 2A last season as a freshman.

Brackets for singles and doubles were announced by the IGHSAU, with first round matchups listed below in all four brackets.
