    Orange Bowl 2012

    Fair enough. BUT - who are the top '95 players that did not play OB this year and where are they ranked in the Pros? Just curious. Thanks.

    Hardest Section in USTA

    Florida and So. Cal will always be strong. BUT - it all depends on boys vs. girls and the players in the age group at any given time. PNW have the following players - all more or less in the same age group: - Mitch Stewart - Henrik Wiersholm - Toshiki Matsuya - Spencer Furman -...

    Orange Bowl 2012

    Not sure where you got your facts to make that claim. The physical nature of the game means that very few teenagers are able to do consistently well in challengers, let alone grand slams. Below is a list of the highest ranked teenagers. Interesting how there are not that many of them -...

    Kozlov & Roger - Henrik & Novak

    Heard Stefan Kozlov hit with Roger Federer, several times, and Henrik Wiersholm hit with Novak Djokovic at the US Open. Obviously a fantastic experience for both of them and I expect motivational. Saw in the NY Times that John McEnroe spends time with Noah Rubin on a regular basis. Just...

    2012 Nats at the Zoo

    My understanding is that both Henrik Wiersholm and Alex Gozun are '96 - meaning 15. Gozun is huge, Wiersholm is smaller. They both have big games and could have played 18s. I expect they play their "age" to get the WC to US Open Juniors. As the winner, Wiersholm automatically gets a WC...

    Kozlov vs. Wiersholm etc.

    Kozlov has had the edge on Wiersholm and the rest of the gang for the last few of year. Kozlov won the Waco ITF last year at age 13. Wiersholm - still 14 - is in the Final of Copa La Libertad in El Salvador (plays tomorrow). Is Wiersholm and the other great kids in this age group...

    USTA Training fault

    You mean like the spanish used David Ferrer to make their big players succeed? Most of the spanish players are right around 6" - not exactly big. Hard work, beyond the comprehension of US players, not size, is what has caused so many spanish players to be in the top 50!

    Carson and Easter Bowl Acceptance

    Escobedo won 4 and 1. I have not seen Escobedo play. Heard that Escobedo is older (aging up in a couple months) and bigger than Henrik, but then again, Henrik usually handles the bigger players well, so Escobedo must be good. Congratulations!

    Time To Reduce Draws Sizes for National Championships???

    There are many reasons why the concept of reducing the draws of Supers to 64 is beyond flawed! - The various sections are granted a specific number of spots. This means that players from sections that have many great players, but small number of spots, will not necessarily get in. Example...

    Back-toBack "Teen Tennis" title for Kozlov

    Kozlov sweeps "Teen Tennis" Yesterday Kozlov and Wiersholm won the doubles. Today Kozlov also won the singles beating Wiersholm 57 75 62. Interesting that it was much closer than their last encounter at Winter Nationals when Kozlov won 61 60.

    NJT International - Kozlov

    Stefan Kozlov won NJT for 12s last year and he is still eligible to play 12s this year. He did not play the qualifying tournaments in Boca Raton - yet he is in - playing 14s - and seeded #4. I also noted that his youger brother - Boris - got a wild card for 12s. What is the deal - Nike...

    advice about a manager contract with a junior player

    The instant the kids signs an agreement with you that calls for you managing him and/or receiving a portion of his future earnings he can kiss his scholarship goodbye as he will be ineligible under the NCAA rules.

    USTA High performance coaches quitting

    I 100% percent agree. I would add that they should keep the center in Boca, or something similar, and that they should use these centers to have the top kids from the various age groups rotate in for practice sessions and match-play for various international tournaments etc. This way they get...

    Drastic cutback in Junior Tournaments for 2010

    This is not the scenarion I am referring to. I concerned about the kids that were the top ranked kids in the lower age group, but subsequent to aging out have not been able to build their ranking in the new, higher agre group. Example: Joe was top 20 in B14 last month, this month he aged up...

    Boys 12-14 Hard court Nationals

    Noticed that the unseeded team that won 12s hard court dubs last year - Klinger and Wiersholm - are now in the finals for 14s hard court. Are they that good or do they play really well together.

    who makes the best tennis outfit in terms of material,transpiration and comfort?

    There is no doubt that Nike and adidas have good products - but lets be clear - endorsed players like Federer are not using them because they are the best - they are using them because the pay the best. Federer's receives about $10 million per year from Nike to wear their stuff. Certainly...
