Katarina Adamovic has been selected to provide commentary and analysis on the broadcasts of semifinal and final matches of the NCAA Tennis Championships.
The semifinal and final matches for the men's and women's team tournament take place on May 18 and 19 at Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where Adamovic played her college tennis. Cracked Racquets, a college tennis broadcasting platform, will produce the matches for streaming on ESPN+.
"I'm thrilled that I'll be commentating on the NCAA semifinal and finals for the first time ever, and I couldn't be more excited to do it from the electrifying atmosphere of Stillwater," Adamovic said. "It's an honor to bring a female perspective to the airwaves, and I'm grateful to Cracked Racquets for this incredible opportunity!"
Adamovic, the reigning WAC Coach of the Year, is coming off a 22-win second season leading the Lopes. GCU won the WAC Tournament for the second straight year and entered the NCAA tournament as the nation's No. 56-ranked team and a No. 3 seed at the Los Angeles Regional.

Adamovic was a four-time Big 12 all-conference selection during her career.
