i realise I have asked this before, in past years, but humour me and remind me, which Brits have won singles or doubles titles in the NCAA event? Div 1?


Paul Jubb, obviously. But have we other winners that anyone can list, singles and doubles?


Thank you!

On Jubb's LTA profile, they say he was the first Brit to win the esteemed title.

 Really? 

I had a look at wiki and here is the link to the list of mens individual and team champs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Men%27s_Tennis_Championship

Indeed, Paul seems to be the only Brit winner, singles or doubles (although 2023 results arent mentioned and I cant recall what happened last year, but dont think we won a title)

The womens list is also linked below and I cant see any British winners (and it does include 2023 winners in this list)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_women%27s_tennis_championships

So, indeed, it seems it is just Paul Jubb. It seems like this is a year when someone else could challenge for one of the titles, although it wont be easy!

Thank you EP.

Im not an expert in the funding issues you raise but  I do find the case about Womens tennis student athletes prize money and image rights which  ha been brought by Reese Brantmeier of reigning NCAA champions  UNC to be a very important one. Its about time college tennis moved out of the dark ages.

  Thanks for reply, as you indicate, many will be waiting on the outcome of this case and its potential to reshape college sports

From my understanding (I have no legal training  ) the  class action raised by University of North Carolina womens tennis Reese Brantmeier, sheds light on the need for drastic changes in the NCAAs rules regarding prize restrictions for student-athletes. The NCAA's current rules prohibit student-athletes from accepting cash awards, bonuses, and other monetary prizes from non-NCAA competitions, creating an unfair and anticompetitive environment. Think Reese could collect only $10k and lost out on $35k 

By challenging the NCAA's restrictions and seeking to "lift the veil of hypocrisy," (section 13) Reeses class action highlights the importance of holding the NCAA accountable and pushing for reform in order to create a more just and equitable playing field for all student-athletes. Her complaint brings attention to the disparity in treatment between student-athletes in non-revenue individual sports like tennis and those in revenue-generating sports like football and mens basketball.

Allegedly the NCAA is involved in a barrage of other legal battles.
