There is some kind of All-American tournament going on - I can't quite work out what it is, but it seems to involve all the top players, so must be prestigious. At any rate, Colette Lewis notes: "The doubles final will feature North Florida's Jack Findel-Hawkins and Lasse Muscheites, who qualified for the main draw, against No. 2 seeds Filip Bergevi and Lakat of Cal."

Well done to Mr Findel-Hawkins (and partner)!

Yes, the All American Championships at Pacific Palisades for the women and Tulsa for the men

We did have some men playing though.

Jack has had a pretty solid career in Jacksonville, I hope he can build on this success in both singles and doubles and look to the college top 20 in both, he did reasonably well with his previous partner and Lasse is a stronger player.

Added Charlie Ridout and Miles McDowall to those already at college

Also added the names of those men who have left without completing their 4 years.

Think the men's list is now pretty much complete.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I've always been curious about the status of UK college players regarding tuition. Are some/all/none on scholarships? Do any get help from the LTA or is it all off their own backs? Also wondering what

All of them (or 99.9%) will be on scholarships.  Most of the women will be on 100% and generally the men on less.  This is because by law US educational establishments have to divide any given category of scholarship (music, academic, sport) equally between the sexes.  Given that most colleges run football and/or baseball teams which have huge men only squads, there are more scholarships available in the minor sports for women than men.  The guys can often get top-up scholarships from a different category, usually academic but, unless a real junior phenom, rarely get to 100%.  A 100% scholarship usually covers academic tuition, all requirements for the sport (coaching, clothing, equipment, transport to and accommodation at off campus events etc), accommodation, food (or a significant contribution towards it), text books and often varions sundry items such as school bags etc.  In addition, Div 1 schools now have to pay a $500 per month cost of living payment to cover incidental expenses.  This is a fairly recent development and came about as a basketball player made an off the cuff comment to a local newspaper about struggling to get enough to eat as his family were very poor and he didn't have any cash at all to top up with extra food beyond college meals, unlike his teammates with more affluent circumstances. It got picked up by the national press and, given that basketball generally generates quite a lot of cash for colleges, became a bit of cause celebre.  As a result the NCAA (which governs top level college sport) announced that all athletes should receive this payment.
