Notable:
9 of Ohio State's 11 rostered players are competing in the singles main draw. The previous record for most players in a main draw was 6 (Oklahoma women, Texas Tech and Illinois men)
Wildcard generosity: only 1 of 3 wildcards in Austin went to a Texas player and only 2 of 4 in East Lansing went to a Michigan State player. The Buckeyes weren’t so generous: 3 of the 4 wildcards in Columbus went to Ohio State players.
Ben Shelton qualified and made his first main draw of an ATP Challenger event -- this is the same site where he won his first pro title in July
Eliot Spizzirri of Texas is playing in his first singles match since the US Open qualifying
There 21 men collegians competing at the Columbus M25 - the most of any pro men's even since the beginning of September
