MEMPHIS – Junior men's tennis players and have been added to the field at the Oracle Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) event that gets underway at Pepperdine University and at the Malibu Racquet Club, Thursday.
This is the second year for the Oracle ITA Masters event, which expanded the field to include one collegiate player from each NCAA Division I conference. Each conference was invited to send one men's and one women's player, with criteria similar to the NCAA tournament being used. That caused the bracket to expand from the 16 players in last year's field to 32 in the draw this year.
