ITA Singles Rankings by Country

Yesterday, the ITA released its first rankings of the 2018-19 academic year. Given all the conversation about how many international versus American players are playing college tennis, I thought it would be interesting to look at the country of record for the top incoming Division I freshmen as well as the Top 25 overall Division I players. Here you go:

Women’s Newcomers

Men’s Newcomers

Women’s Top 25

Men’s Top 25

Four out of the 10 female newcomers (40%) are American with just 3 out of 10 (30%) men coming from the US. Out of the Top 25, 40% of the women and 28% of the men are from the US. You can see the complete lists of rankings on the ITA website here. I also encourage you to read the Cracked Racquets series titled “Where in the World” to get more details on the Division I breakdown. You can find Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, and Part 4 here.

Colette discusses not only who is IN these first ranking lists but also who is NOT in her latest ZooTennis post here.

The ITA has only released rankings for Division I so far. Once they release them for the other divisions, I will do a similar breakdown so stay tuned.
