NCAA Division 1 Singles Rankings

Upon releasing the newcomer rankings, the ITA also released the singles rankings. Here are the top 10:

1. Mikelis Libietis, Tennessee
2. Alex Domijan, Virginia
3. Peter Kobelt, Ohio State
4. Ryan Lipman, Vanderbilt
5. Romain Bogaerts, Wake Forest
6. Marcos Giron, UCLA
7. Nik Scholtz, Ole Miss
8. Ray Sarmiento, USC
9. Tom Jomby, Kentucky
10. Soren Hess-Olsen, Texas

And here are my top 10:

1. Blaz Rola, Ohio State
Rola is not included in the ITA's rankings because he isn't playing the fall season with the Buckeyes, but if he returns for the spring, he is hands down the best player out there and will look to defend his NCAA singles title.
2. Mikelis Libietis, Tennessee
The Latvian won a live Davis Cup rubber in doubles this weekend with Ernests Gulbis. After being the one seed at last years NCAA singles championship and losing first round, Liebietis will be hungry for a title.
3. Peter Kobelt, Ohio State
It is evident that the Buckeyes are strong up top as Kobelt will be looking on building off of an impressive campaign last season, which featured him being the top ranked player in the nation at a point.
4. Alex Domijan, Virginia
Domijan, despite beating Kobelt last year, needs to step up for the Cavaliers this season as he will be playing 1st singles since Jarmere Jenkins graduated. Domijan will get tested more frequently throughout the year and will test if he can play big in big matches.
5. Marcos Giron, UCLA
Giron is currently playing hot, as he won the recent Claremont 10K Futures tournament. If heated up at the right time, he can beat anyone in the NCAA.
6. Ray Sarmiento, USC
Sarmiento is also coming off a good showing at the Claremont Futures and is sure to make a big run during his senior year.
7. Japie de Klerk, Tulsa
de Klerk made a semifinal run in last years NCAA singles championships and will try to make a statement early at the ITA All-American Championships which take place on his home courts.
8. Ryan Lipman, Vanderbilt
After not advancing far in last years NCAA singles, the 2009 Kalamazoo finalist will look to rebound to be up at the top of the rankings.
9. Mitchell Frank, Virginia
After getting surgery last fall, Frank built up some steam playing in the middle of Virginia's lineup and is now back in form. Frank is a very dangerous player, and especially if he plays in the middle of the Cavaliers lineup again, it'll be tough to beat him.
10. Soren Hess-Olsen, Texas
The Texas Longhorn made the singles quarterfinals last year after taking out Marcos Giron, before falling the eventual runner-up Jarmere Jenkins 6-3, 6-2.

Other players to look out for:
Roberto Quiroz, USC
Jared Hiltzik, Illinois
Romain Bogaerts, Wake Forest
Tsvetan Mihov, South Carolina
Jeremy Efferding, Texas A&M
