[ac10splyr]

I was curious to see if anybody had video of any of the matches or finals at the jr orange bowl that just finished yesterday?

Youtube search only wields G12's results. I tried all their names, Mmoh, lunsde, taylor, etc etc.. Other than the official Intro Orange Bowl posted, only matches uploaded I could find from finals are G12's.

Looks like both camps videoed it, but the above linked channel is by far better quality. 14 total clips, looks to be chronological if you follow the numbers on the video labels after contestant names (Desi-Yetra...All end in .3 )>>> i.e. .3 > 1.3 > 2.3 > 4.3 > ......13.3

Edava2day is the other youtube user/channel, but like i said, same match, worse video qlty.

I don't get it. some of these matches are played on clay and some are played on hard courts ?

[lala28m]

Yeah. Just B14 division is clay, the other 3, B12,G12£G14 are hard court.

B14 is Hard Court (University of Miami), B12 Clay, G14 Hard??? (Crandon Park), Not sure about G12s....

I know B14 is hard because I played in it...

That's why I have my 11 y.o. daughter playing up into the 16's. Now she wants to try the 18's

My fault. I meant B12 (not 14s) is clay. All 3 other divisions are hard court.

Any of these boys next Federer or Nadal like talent?

Just watching some of the Ystremskaia vs. Desiatnikov match. I'm assuming AD is in the dark shirt and Ystre is in blue.

AD can play. Not the best fundamentals. The serve is just horrible. If my son served like that i would not feed him food till he fixed it. Chain him to the court next to a truck load of tennis balls. Unacceptable. And my only ambition for my son is college tennis. Not pros. Please rgwarren fix your kids serve. Its simply unacceptable. She also slaps at her fh when she can just as easily setup and rip it. Bad habits. She pushes when ran even when she gets to the ball on time. These symptoms are because she values wins over form at this point. As she ages and hits the same shots her future opponents will not miss the put aways like this Ystre does at critical times.

What I liked about Ystre is she hit her shots. Went for them. Not much pushing. Angles. Went for winners when presented. On the run she hit the ball. Didn't push the ball on the run like AD does.

I predict as Ystre gains experience her percentage will go up. And the shots girls like AD relies on Ystre to miss will not materialise. At that point AD will be a victum of her early success. She doesnt win the points but rather waits for the opponent to lose them.

How to fix this problem looming right over the horizon for AD? Number one. Fix the serve. If any one thing that will keep her from pro succes (i define success as making money ) it will be the serve. It is terrible. I can forgive the pushing if she can actually serve. How will she win as the girls all age and the returns get better and better and AD is fluffing serves in? Now she relies on her ground game and defense and pushing to win at age 12. AD needs to be able to hold serve as she continues in her tennis.

AD obviously has the champions mindset. The will to win. I like her demeanor on court. She acts like a little champion. I would be willing to drink the coolaid if she stopped pushing and learned how to serve. If rgwarren come in here and states her serve is fine he is delusional. If AD wants to win and turn pro at 17? I would take loses now before she gets too old to change. Fix the serve. Fix the pushing. Keep the champions mindset.

You can see what happens when they start competing before they have good serves and don't have sound ground strokes with proper net clearance. Its weird how girl's 12s tennis looks so different than 'real' tennis compared to the boy's 12s.

Its strange because many times the girls are physically and mentally advanced vs the boys their age at 11-12. In practice we have girls that age who can play with or beat the boys. But for whatever reason when they compete with each other in structured tournaments, the girl's look awful compared to the boys.

Coach: I think it is important to your player's development to let her compete in the 12's with the understanding that winning titles in the 12's is not the goal or objective- becoming a top D1 level/possible pro level player is. I have seen this work well before. There is a lot to be learned competing in the 12's as long as the player and parents realize the points, rankings, and titles in the 12's are not important.

I read somewhere that they (both) didn't hold their serve until it was 5-5. It's almost in complete reverse with men's tennis.

But man, they can pound it from the baseline. Props to them.

There were more people watching the match on that court in the first round of B14 qualifying.
