What might be a surprise or maybe even a shock for people new to college tennis, actually makes a lot of sense and is common routine during plenty of matches in spring time across the nation: college tennis is different, and we will explain to what extent the rules differ from traditional tennis, seen on the ATP and WTA tour day in, day out.

Two interesting headlines have appeared in the college tennis world recently, which we'd love to share with our readership!

College tennis does not enjoy the same popularity and media coverage as football or basketball. Especially not when it's 'March Madness' and the focus shifts entirely towards basketball. That's why we should all be grateful for any additional coverage our wonderful sport receives, be it in print or online. 'College Tennis Today' does exactly that, driven by the general lack of information on college tennis. The web site has also adopted the UTR, a new level of play rating we're very excited about.

Why Leave the College Tennis Program Before Graduating?
