Collegians Paving Careers After College On ITF and ATP Challenger Tours

Brits Tom Hands (doubles), Arthur Fery and Dan Little in the mix.

In 2023, current and former collegians have been kickstarting their careers after college on the ITF Mens and Womens Tours as well as the ATP Challenger Tour, winning over 120 Titles so far in the 2023 calendar year. Doubles play on the ITF Mens and Womens World Tour has been exceptional for collegians so far in 2023, as 73 Titles have already been won by both current and former student-athletes.

Through programs such as the ATP Accelerator Program (mentioned by Newbie above), the ITA hopes to continue to shine a light and provide a pathway to all players who have aspirations to pursue professional careers after their time in college is complete.

She was a nice girl, from what I could see, and a decent-ish player. But not going pro is almost certainly a very smart decision....
Best of luck to her at pickle ball
