The level of US collegiate tennis has grown steadily in recent years, presenting many young tennis players with a viable option in training, offering the opportunity to improve their game without the pressure and demands of the professional circuit. This allows players to challenge themselves and go pro as they mature.
Additionally, more and more international players are choosing to study and play on the US collegiate circus, which greatly enriches the competition and has made the NCAA championship title an important stepping stone on the road to becoming a pro.
