The Futures tour was back on a college campus this week. With that comes a plethora of college players competing.

Three current Illini players competed in the main draw on their home courts in Champaign this past week. Petros Chrysochos (Wake Forest) played spoiler, however, taking out two current Illinois players in Aleksandar Kovacevic and Zeke Clark en route to his path to the final. He was unable to bring home the title, dropping a close 7-6(3), 6-4 decision to Aziz Dougaz (Florida State) in the final.

On top of his victory over Chrysochos, Dougaz defeated a number of current and former college players during the week including Duarte Vale (Florida), Martin Joyce (Ohio State), and Alec Adamson (UC Davis).

Although Ohio State defeated UCLA in the NCAA semifinals in May, Maxime Cressy (UCLA) and Martin Joyce (Ohio State) put that beef aside to win the doubles draw in Champaign. The duo defeated Charlie Emhardt (Valparaiso) and Alfredo Perez (Florida) by a score of 6-3, 6-2 in the final. Cressy and Joyce also defeated the Florida State team of Guy Iradakunda and Dougaz, as well as former college players Miles Seeman (UCSB) and Adamson (UC Davis) en route to their trip to title town.

Former Texas A&M star Arthur Rinderknech also deserves a shoutout for winning the $15k futures in Morocco. Rinderknech was down a set and 5-1 in the final before coming back to win 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

The Aggie also came back from a set down to win in the semifinals in a 4-6, 7-6(4), 7-6(3), 3 hour and 36 minute marathon battle. Talk about some heart!

Current and former college stars will be back grinding in the ATP minor leagues next week at the Decatur Futures as well as the Lexington Challenger.
