Noticed that Niriantsa Rasolomalala of Madagascar was playing in the Universiade, and Google turned up this old article from January.

The young talent Niriantsa Rasolomalala (18 years) ranked third at the last Masters which gathered the best eight players of Madagascar could attend in August the University of Maryland or California.

(Inicdentally, the significantly classier Malagasy player, Zarah Razafimahatratra, mentioned US college tennis as an option in an interview at, I think, the French Open, where she was competing in the juniors.)
For what it's worth, the US team at the Universiade is Krista Damico, and Courtney Collins (Memphis); they were knocked out of the doubles draw by the Mexican team of Urbina and Pulido today. Natasha Marks is representing us, but only selected for doubles.
