Current and Former College Players In Davis Cup Action This Weekend; Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Tournament Underway

Thanks to a comment Stephen left a few days ago, I did a little research into the rosters of the Davis Cup participants in this weekend's 33 ties to find those with college connections. I'm certain I've missed some, so if you know of a current or former collegiate player who is in action this weekend (many teams have byes and will not play until July), please leave a comment.

For the complete draws and rosters, see the newly redesigned Davis Cup website. The Davis Cup format is extremely confusing, but it's now a bit easier to comprehend with the website's reorganization.

The Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championships are underway in LaJolla, California. This is one of the oldest tennis events in existence, and it always has a large number of college players in the draw. Stanford's Bradley Klahn and Ryan Thacher are the co-top seeds, along with Jeff Tarango and JT Sundling of USC. For more on the tournament, see this release at usta.com.
