Junior players now have access to a new college candidate awareness feature called College Connect on their private USTA profiles. Thanks to the USTA’s partnership with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and the ITA’s recent adoption of the ITF World Tennis Number (WTN) as the official global rating system of college tennis, College Connect allows junior players within a specific ITF WTN rating range to explore college tennis playing opportunities and even compare their skill levels to current college players!
