was a fantastic college player and he beat SD once in SD's junior year.
I only saw him play twice, but he was a stud in college and IMO
had "bigger" shots than SD has.
Another guy. who I thought could become a top 100 player (whose

Some elite college guys like Isner and SD were not close to being
ready to turn pro at age 17/18, so college tennis does give guys a
chance to make it if they can develop their games.
