If you don't recognize the other Americans on that list, Austin Krajicek is the only other player with NCAA Tennis experience. Krajicek was an All-American at Texas A&M. Bjorn Fratangelo considered going to college, but ultimately turned pro after winning the Boys Singles title at the 2011 French Open.
