NORMAN, Okla. – Men's tennis head coach John Roddick announced the addition of Lawrence Formentera (Colton, Calif./Gorman Learning Center) to the 2010 squad.

This past year Formentera was a doubles finalist at the United States Tennis Association Spring Nationals and in 2008 he won the California Bowl Championships.
