College Tennis Vs. Turning Pro

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')
