I love reading the posts about US college tennis but don't really follow it at all.

So if this has already been mentioned, or isn't relevant - for some reason - apologies - but I note that Ethan Miller has won some conference so well done to him

Holly Hutchinson picks up more Conference-USA awards, amongst a clutch for Old Dominion

"Manilla earned the league's Coach of the Year honors for the third consecutive season, Starodubtseva was named the C-USA Player of the Year, Sasnouskaya was tagged as the Freshman of the Year and Hutchinson acquired Outstanding Singles Player of the Championship. This is the first time since 2010-11, that the program has had back to back conference players of the year.

Starodubtseva, Sasnouskaya and Hutchinson were also named to the All-Conference USA Singles First Team. Sasnouskaya/Hutchinson and Starodubtseva/Yakubovich collected All C-USA Doubles First Team honors. Viktorovich joined teammate Sasnouskaya on the league's All-Freshman Team."

The NCAA Division I Mens Tennis Subcommittee announced the 64 teams and 16 first- and second-round sites for the 2021 DI mens tennis championship on Monday. First- and second-round competition takes place May 7-8 or 8-9 and features four teams playing in a single-elimination format.

The winner of each site advances to the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida, where the 16 teams will compete for the national championship May 17-28. The event will be hosted by the University of Central Florida and the Greater Orlando Sports Commission.

The NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Subcommittee has selected the 64 teams and 16 first- and second-round sites for the 2021 NCAA Division I Women's Tennis Championship. Due to the health and safety protocols surrounding the pandemic, first- and second-round sites were selected from a group of 20 predetermined sites rather than awarded to strictly the top seeded teams. Seed was factored into the final determination of the sites, and matchups between conference opponents were avoided in the first two rounds of the championship.

Thanks for these cya. Looking at the rankings list on the previous page, James Davis stood out as he didnt appear in the top 125, is that a surprise?

also Arthur Fery missed out sadly from 63rd ranking - many of us not in the know probably have heard of him more than others, so that was possibly disappointing?

My bad, missed James Davis out , he's actually ranked 94. He got in based on the automatic qualification rule for conferences with one or more eligible singles players in the Top 125.

Yes a tad disappointing this year for Arthur , but he's a freshman so has more time to prove himself , improve his ranking etc

And Finn & Bronte are brother and sister . Bronte is older

Mega well done to her, our little Duracell Bunny player, AND dead smart too (love the fact you need a grade-point average of 3.0 and she's got 4.16 !)

(PS Finn Murgett is one of the most 'badly behaved' players I've seen on a court - NOT in terms of cheating, not saying that, but hysterics, screaming, shouting, the full Am-dram works. DO hope he's grown out of it. On the other hand, quite enjoyed watching Bronte's tennis - she's pretty tiny, from recollection, but had some interesting shots)

Anyone know what happened to Serena Nash ? She went to college at the same time as Holly H and Emily Arb, but I haven't seen her name anywhere for ages.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Yes, good ask. Serena and Gemma Heath were two players I really liked to watch.
