College Tennis Raises Profile


My next tournament trip is the Polo Ralph Lauren All-American Tennis Championships, the big Intercollegiate Tennis Association's men's fall event in Tulsa, so I'm starting pay more attention to college tennis again. One big tournament, the Southern Intercollegiate Championships, demonstrated just how good Georgia is going to be this year. John Isner repeated as singles champion, and this year he defeated teammate Luis Flores in the final. Isner and Flores won the doubles title too, and Isner didn't lose his serve, in singles or doubles, in the tournament. Full details here.


The ITA website details the success of players with college backgrounds in this article.

And two former collegiate stars, Rajeev Ram of Illinois and Sam Warburg of Stanford, are asked what's wrong with U.S. tennis by the New Orleans reporter assigned to cover the Challenger being held there this week.
