to the maker of this thread, I’m pretty impressed that you could manage to do all that travelling and still maintain such a high rank at your school. My sister is on the WTA, and I have several friends who are highly ranked nationally and in the ITF, most of whom are very smart, and they’ve been unable to maintain that balance between tennis and school (due to missing so much school and having little time to work). Technically, it IS possible to play in college, but you’re required to pay back every cent of your winnings as a professional in order to do so.

and flong, I know a guy who was once top 100 in the world, continually playing in grand slams, having decided as a teenager to play professionally instead of going to college. He works as a bank teller now.
