Under the title Foreign flavor in NCAA tennis is too rich for some Tom Fitzgerald of the San Francisco Chronicle revists this topic from the perspective of coaches of the major tennis schools in the Bay Area. Most of you know my views on this (if you don't, this post, which contains a link to my Racquet Sports Industry viewpoint, will explain it.), and I know many of you don't agree with it, but I'm always eager to hear other perspectives. (There is an error in this story. It is Megan Falcon, not Megan Frank who is now a sophomore at LSU and ranked second in the country).
In this week's Inside Junior Tennis podcast, Kevin McClure and I go through the 16 seeds in the men's and women's individual event and discover that while there are only six U.S. men, there are 12 U.S. women in that elite group. We didn't quite know what to make of that.
Speaking of college tennis players, it was quite a weekend for them. Bobby Reynolds (Vanderbilt) beat Robert Kendrick (Washington and Pepperdine) in the Naples challenger, and Pierrick Ysern (University of San Diego) defeated Vladimir Obradovic (University of Florida) in the Vero Beach Futures. Ryler DeHeart (University of Illinois) and Chris Lam (UCLA) won the doubles in Vero. The TC Palm has done a great job covering the Vero Beach tournament. This is their story about Obradovic, which also includes the nitty gritty on just how much (or little) the prize money is at a $10,000 event. Check their archives for other coverage of the tournament. (Free registration required.)
