Dutch Tennis On The Rise: Talented Tallon >>>> Nagal

[stringertom]

Griekspoor secures his second Challenger title in the final at the Banja Luka (BIH) Challenger in a surprisingly easy 2&3 straight set beatdown of the overmatched Nagal, Three of Talented Tallon’s four matches had gone three sets while Nagal had bullrushed his way through the draw without dropping a set.

How long before The Netherlands becomes top dog in tennis, @Red Rick @I Am Finnish ???

About 10 years after they put me in charge of the national coaching program

So, never.

Nagal sounds like Nadal, close enough for GS I think

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, very funny.....no well-organized coaching or scouting program, but more importantly low incentives for youth to really go for it, so I don't expect anything the next 20 years.
But, you never know, several years ago I also didn't expect Kiki to become top-10 player.....

Who knows if we happen to get lucky with a combo of both talent and attitude/dedication. Last 15 years we've had players who had the talent (De Bakker, Haase) but not dedication and vice versa (Sijsling, some players on women's side)
