College Tennis Vs. Turning Pro
(

(Preview)
In the wake of John Isner's remarkable success in Washington this week is it just me or does everybody else feel that perhaps going to an American College at 18 is a far more sensible choice for our top juniors rather than turning pro straight away? There is little doubt that players like Cox, Evans, Ri...

L32: (4) Dave Rice WR 317 v Julien Obry (FRA) WR 580 (CH 274 in 2012) To say Obry is inconsistent would be putting it mildly (so in other words, he might just be a danger if he's 'on')
