Yes, many players have benefited from tennis scholarships to pursue both education and their sport. For example, Coco Gauff received a scholarship to play tennis at UCLA before turning professional. It’s a great pathway for balancing academics and athletic development, like it was for Steve Johnson and Danielle Collins. Do you have any favorite players who’ve taken this route?
