Players With College Ties Earn Spots In US Open Main Draws

0

FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – As one of the premiere events on the professional tennis calendar arrives once again, all of the world’s best players meet in New York City to take part in the US Open, the final Grand Slam of the calendar year. 

Marked as a star-studded affair both on and off the court, the 2023 US Open singles and doubles draws will be filled by 90 players who have ties to the American collegiate system as they all look to write their names into the history books.

Beginning with the men’s singles draw, 20 players with college ties will be making their push through the main draw. Notably, Cameron Norrie (16) (TCU), Francisco Cerundolo (20) (South Carolina), and Christopher Eubanks (28) (Georgia Tech) will all enter the tournament as seeded players.

Two players who were on active rosters just this past spring will make their presence felt on the biggest of stages as the 2023 NCAA Singles Champion, Ethan Quinn (Georgia), and back-to-back USTA Boy’s U18 Champion, Learner Tien (USC), take their talents to the professional level. They will join the likes of Ben Shelton (Florida), Rinky Hijikata (North Carolina), and Brandon Nakashima (Virginia) as the next generation of collegians rising up the professional rankings.

In the women’s singles draw, seven players with college ties will look to make a splash at this year’s tournament. This includes two Australian Open Singles Finalists, Danielle Collins (Florida & Virginia) and Jennifer Brady (UCLA) who has just made her return to the WTA Tour after stepping away for nearly two years.

Meanwhile, it will be a Grand Slam debut for the 2023 ITA National Player of the Year, Fiona Crawley (North Carolina). She, alongside Peyton Stearns (Texas) and Emma Navarro (Virginia), are showcasing the top-level talent that resides within college tennis year-after-year.

Within both doubles draws, there will be over 65 players with college ties competing in both the men’s and women’s doubles draws. This includes 18 players who will be on seeded teams within the draws, with each of the top four men’s doubles seeds having at least one former collegian on the team.

Back-to-back champions, Rajeev Ram (Illinois) and Joe Salisbury (Memphis) are back again this year as they look to become the first doubles team to win three straight US Open titles since 1912-14.

Play began Monday, August 28th and will continue throughout the next two weeks from the Billie Jean King Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York.
