STANFORD, Calif. – Two-time NCAA singles champion Laura Granville has been named to the 2026 ITA Women’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame class, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association announced Monday.
Granville played two seasons at Stanford (1999-2001) and both ended with NCAA Singles Championship titles. During a pair of seasons as a Cardinal, Granville won an NCAA-record 58 consecutive singles matches and paired her individual singles crowns with one NCAA team title and two ITA Indoor singles titles. A two-time ITA Player of the Year award winner, Granville went 93-3 in college.
Following her sophomore season, Granville turned to the professional tour, where she achieved a career-best ranking of No. 28 in singles and No. 47 in doubles in addition to nine ITF titles.
