Click Here For The Latest 2003 Status Report

The majority of the world does not distinguish athletes as professional or amateur. That is not the case in the United States. Though the USTA has recently passed a "Call Item" to allow professional players 18 and under to compete in USTA Super National events, the NCAA still has very specific guidelines on amateur status.

The purpose of the College And Junior Tennis Status Report is to help everyone keep up with who's turning pro and who's signed to attend a specific college. Information on this page is updated as soon as we receive it.

Bobby Reynolds-The top-ranked player in the final ITA rankings has decided not to return to Vanderbilt for his senior year and instead turn professional.

Andy Mack-The recent winner of the Southwest ITA Circuit event will be playing for Texas.

Emily Ellis-One of Kentucky's top players has signed with Lipscomb University.

Long Beach State-Beach Tennis has added six players to their women's roster for the fall. They are: Tammy Day, Nicole Bouffler, Sandra Rocha, Krystina Katayama, Jessica Konrad and Jessica Boyer.

Brian Baker-After a year of speculation, Brian has decided to forego college tennis and he has turned professional. At the moment he is ranked No. 1 in the world in Boys singles and has held that same position in the USTA National Junior Rankings for most of his teen years. Brian has signed with SFX.
