Patrick McEnroe highlighted the scarcity of American players in top college men's tennis finals with pointed tweets this week. He noted only one US player among 12 in the SEC championship match and three among 24 in ACC and SEC finals. The remarks underscore ongoing debates about player development in the United States.
