We love to hear about College Players excelling on the Professional Tennis Tour. It's part of the reason we do our work, and of course it's a huge part of the ambitions of many players making their way to follow their College Tennis dream. As an alumnus of the University of Texas Longhorns, I follow their results very closely. The "Horns" have been in a golden period of being at the top of College Tennis for many years now, but the latest round-up from Coach Bruce Berque shines a huge spotlight on the quality of tennis players coming out of the famous Texas Tennis Program. All the named players below graduated from Texas in the last 10 years, most of them in the last 3-4 years: Eliot Spizzirri took home both the doubles and the singles titles at the ATP Challenger in San Diego. His live ATP singles ranking is now up to #145 in the world. Cleeve Harper picked up yet another doubles challenger title, this time in Lugano Switzerland. Cleeve's doubles ranking is now up to #110 in the world. Lloyd Glasspool won the ATP 500 Qatar Open, and is now ranked #15 in the world in doubles. George Goldhoff reached the semifinals in doubles last week in San Diego, falling only to Eliot and his partner. George is currently ranked #161 in the world in doubles. Miguel Reyes Varela reached the semifinals in doubles in the ATP 500 in Acapulco. Miguel is currently ranked #60 in the world in doubles. asd To follow your own Pathway to the Pros through an amazing College Tennis career, reach out to us at team@col-ten.com .

Many congratulations to Alex Rintoul from Warwickshire, England for signing with the University of Lynchburg in Virginia, beginning his College career in August 2022. Following a very focused 12-month process, during which time Alex worked really hard to develop his tennis while performing well in a challenging course of study at Warwick School, it was thrilling to see Alex achieve the goal he had set for himself to secure a place on an American University tennis team in a great location and on his target degree program. A "I’m so excited about playing tennis every day throughout my University career in Lynchburg," said Alex. "Thanks to Col-Ten and my coaches for helping me to get there. I can’t wait for the all year round weather and the unique experience to come." a Alex's parents, John and Jeanette, were pleased with how the process went for themselves and Alex: "Thank you to Paul and the Col-ten team for running such a smooth process from start to finish. The moment Alex decided he wanted to study and play tennis in the US, we found the experience with them professional and seamless. A number of US University Tennis Coaches expressed an interest in Alex representing them, and with Paul’s help we’re delighted Alex has been offered a place at the University of Lynchburg in Virginia starting in August 2022."
