Sweeting's Status


Well, I did hear from the University of Florida's Sports Information Department today, but it didn't exactly resolve the matter of Ryan Sweeting's immediate plans. Here is what I was told:

"Ryan is enrolled in school, but not on our roster. He is assessing his future options."

So nothing is official yet.

Another player who thought long and hard about the choice between college and professional tennis is Vania King. The 17-year-old decided to pass on college this summer, although the last I had heard, she wasn't signed by any sports management agency. She is, however, doing well, and today won her quarterfinal match in the WTA event in Bangkok, reaching her second semifinal of the year. She certainly has an intelligent perspective on the state of her game. Reuters has the details here .

This week's edition of Inside Junior Tennis, with me and Kevin McClure, is now available at theTennisPodcast.com

a friends of mine use to play with ryan in the same academy and he told me that it is for sure that he is pro he told me that he turn pro way before the USOPEN so he can take the 24,000 he eatn by winning a round in the open

that's not true. Sweeting played the US Open as an amateur.

Sweeting played the Open as an amateur and returned to UF immediately after losing to Rochus. He in fact travelled with not only Solomon but with the Florida assistant coach to the Open.

To the parent that was looking for a clothing sponsorship, top 50 national will get you nothing.

Sweeting withdrew from his UF classes during the Tulsa B1 ITF and is done with college and going pro...finally.
