Not sure how the rankings are calculated as no sign of Paul Jubb - however he's not on the 2019/2020 roster for his college. I though someone had posted he was definitely finishing college this year rather than deferring???

The draws for the ITA men's All-American Championships (October) are out
Charlie Broom, Dominic West and Alistair Gray currently the only Brits in the singles main draw.

I never really know the import of all the events over there but, on the basis of let's just celebrate all success, well done to Georgie Walker who seemingly has just "won the singles flight eight championship to lead the Furman women's team Sunday in the final day of the 33rd Annual Debbie Southern Fall Classic":

The ITA at Tulsa starts today with 250 men in the pre-qualifying draw including Memphis' Oscar Cutting, David Stevens, Matt and James Storey, also Dan Siddall, Max Stewart , Connor Thompson SC, Josh Wilson Liberty and Luke Hammond Oaklahoma State - apologies if I've missed anyone........Chris Edge MTSU, Alex Maggs New Mexico, Giles Hussey
Would take 7 wins to get through to the MD from the pre-q's.

This is the first year the women's event will also be at Tulsa. Previously in California......the forecast is not looking great and there are a limited number of indoor courts, so hopefully they will get through most of the matches before it rains.

And why not..... congrats to Erika Dodridge who "won the Draw D championship at the Gopher Invitational on Sunday" (??, no idea, but I understand the word 'won', and 'championship', and it's a cool photo):

In the pre-qualies, Megan Davies still on course with 2 wins yesterday. She is the 13th seed and plays the 5th seed Elise van Heuvelen today for a place in qualies.

Alisha won her 1st match, but lost out in 3 sets (to 4 in the 3rd set) in her 2nd match. Olivia went out in the 1st round - 5-7 in the 3rd set, so both hard fought.

Megan Hopton playing in the doubles qualies (not singles pre-qualies) - my mistake. Not really having done these sort of posts before i.e. recording results, it's tougher than I expected (not sure what that says about me..)

Well, it looks a good job to me, tennpar :)
And I appreciate it, coz I know all the players (Well, a bit) and so it's great to hear how they're doing

Megan Davies won today, so is through to the qualies draw, starting tomorrow

Those making it through the first round of qualies are Connor Thompson SC, Josh Goodger ( transfer Tulane to Florida), Emile Hudd OS, Nick Brooke's N'western, Jacob Fernley TCU, (Zeke Clark Illinois- edit not a Brit), Hamush Stewart Tulane, (Dan Martin is the Canadian from Dartmouth not the British one)

singles consolation draw was cancelled due to the weather.

Doubles qualies featured a number of Brits but only Chris Edge MSTU and Memphis pair Oscar Cutting and David Stevens made it through first round with Oscar and David making it t to the last 16.

Apologies if missed anyone, am travelling and following on a small screen- each time I look at the draw I seem to spot someone I missed before :0(
