Today I received an email from Claire Wood, the referee at the Wimbledon Junior Championships in a response to my request for the date of the junior wild card announcement. She said she anticipated that main draw wild cards will be announced Friday; the qualifying wild cards will be named at the close of sign-in on Wednesday the 27th. She further added that Kellen Damico has been awarded a main draw singles wild card.
Although I published the men's Summer Collegiate team members' names a couple of days ago, I hadn't seen any reference to the women's team. Casey Angle of the ITA passed along the release today, and I'll just quote from it for the women's team.
=====================================================================
The women's team members are:
Megan Falcon, LSU (Soph., Alameda, Calif.)
Natalie Frazier, Georgia (Sr., Riverdale, Ga.)
Theresa Logar, Stanford (Sr., Rochester Hills, Mich.)
Jenna Long, North Carolina (Sr., Fremont, Calif.)
Kristi Miller, Georgia Tech (Jr., Marysville, Mich.)
Lindsey Nelson, Southern California (Jr., Villa Park, Calif.)
Virginia women's assistant coach Troy Porco will be coaching the women's team.
The USTA Summer Collegiate Team is an elite training program for the top American collegiate tennis players that began in 1996 and is funded by the USTA. It is designed to provide players with valuable exposure to the USTA Pro Circuit in a team-oriented environment during the summer months. This year's team will be playing in USTA Pro Circuit events primarily during the month of July.
Past players named to the USTA Summer Collegiate Team include current American professionals: James Blake, Bob and Mike Bryan, Jill Craybas, Amer Delic, Justin Gimelstob, Paul Goldstein, Laura Granville, Lilia Osterloh, Bobby Reynolds and Mike Russell.
