After college.

As seen throughout the 2022 season, college tennis has proven once again to be a pathway to the professional tour as 48 players with college ties are set to compete in either the Singles Qualifying or Main Draws at the US Open. Three Mens players, No. 7 Cameron Norrie (TCU), No. 24 Francisco Cerundolo (South Carolina), and No. 30 Maxime Cressy (UCLA) are seeded, in addition to No. 19 Danielle Collins (Florida) in Womens Singles.

After a week and a half of play from the 2022 US Open, nine former collegiate alum are still competing across the Mens, Womens, and Mixed Doubles draws as play has reached the Semifinal round in all three draws.

Beginning with the Mens Doubles Draw, a former collegiate athlete is guaranteed to lift the title for the fifth time in the past six years as Marcelo Arevalo (Tulsa), Jean Julien Rojer (UCLA), Rajeev Ram (Illinois), Joe Salisbury (Memphis), Robert Farah (USC), and Neal Skupski (LSU) are all into the Semifinals.

Ah, sorry EP, I wondered what the black highlighting was for !

Are the Big Ten and Big Twelve self proclaimed and presumably mutually exclusive? And geographically based in some way?
