<p>I second SBMom suggestion to correctly ascertain where your brother might be competitive using his ranking. With the availablity of extensive ranjinks such as the itftennis, coaches do not poke in the dark with overseas applicants. On the surface, being a top 10 national player won't mean a whole lot ... unless your country is a powerhouse in tennis, and that a top 10 ranking translates into a top 100 worldwide -very doubtful-you'll have to spend a lot of time finding a match by analyzing the current rosters of players. You cannot compare a player ranked 10th from the US, France or Croatia with a player ranked 10th from the Netherlands, Greece, or Luxemburg. </p>
<p>thank you all for the comments...
I agree with SBMom and Xiggi..
I think it's most important now to determine the level of my brother's tennis with that of US tennis players.
I think that I will film my brother's game as Sbmom suggest and let a college coach in US watch it and hear his judgment. </p>
<p>If tennis doesn't get him into college... I think his academics will get him far..He got better credentials than me.. and I got into Middlebury and 4 other colleges... so I'll see this fall what to do next with him</p>
<p>"If tennis doesn't get him into college... I think his academics will get him far.."</p>
<p>That is the right attitude to have. No matter how competitive your brother is or will be for college tennis, his abilities will help at schools that use comprehensive reviews. Nobody will diminish the accomplishments of student-athletes. </p>
<p>I believe that tennis is one of the most competitive college sports with its constant measurements of individual results. </p>
<p>PS Congratulations on your acceptance at Middlebury. It is a fabulous school.</p>
