South Florida’s Broward & Miami-Dade County Dominate Adult 40 & Over 3.5/4.0/4.5 Sectional Championships

South Florida teams dominated the competition at the 2025 USTA Florida Adult 40 & Over 3.5/4.0/4.5 Sectional Championships, as Broward and Miami-Dade were on fire at the USTA National Campus. 

The weekend was packed with high stakes matches, thrilling comebacks, and a showcase of the depth and talent in Florida’s adult league tennis scene. With sectional titles and national bids on the line, teams brought their best and South Florida rose to the occasion. 

Broward County came out strong in the Men’s 3.5 division, defeating Orange County in a close 3-2 match. Miami-Dade County would control the Women’s 4.0 and Men’s 4.5 finals. They took both divisions behind strong teamwork and determination.  

With wins at the Sectional Championships, these teams have secured their ticket to the USTA Adult League National Championships. Nationals will take place in October across Arizona, California, and Florida.
