The home-state chart is below, but it's the smaller story for this sport: no U.S. state stands out, and the states at the top are close enough that we don't rank them.
473 schools' 2025-26 men's tennis rosters, 4,813 players. We don't say what share of all programs that is — no authoritative count of programs exists.
Not a ranking. The top states here are within 0.1 of a percentage point of each other — California, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas are effectively level. One player separate the top two, and a lead that small would need about 42 players before we'd call anyone first. So read the bars as sizes, not as places 1, 2, 3.

How to read this
Each bar is the number of players on a 2025-26 college men's tennis roster whose listed home town is in that state. It is not a count of recruits, offers, or scholarships, and it says nothing about your own odds — it's simply where the players currently on rosters grew up.
We don't call a state first here. California, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas are within a percentage point of each other, and one player separate the top two — a "#1" that a handful of players would overturn isn't a fact, so we don't print one.
The unknown bar matters. 565 men's tennis players (11.7%) are on rosters that didn't list a readable home town. We show them because a chart with no leftovers is usually a chart someone tidied up.
