we have had issues at our High performance centers from porn in the dorms to players at 15 getting caught using fake ID's to get in night clubs with very little consequences , I could go on and on but when it comes to discipline our players don't have the highest regards for it nor do have the people on these blogs .

Make these kids spend a month in an army boot camp... so that they improve their fitness and develop required disciplines... BTW, isn't it surprising that there is little or insufficient adult supervision at the training center?

I'm not too worried about candy. Guillermo Coria was caught doping. Gasquet "french kissed" somebody that had consumed an illegal substance and as a result he failed a drug test (what a joke of a story). Tomas Muster was a known smoker when he played. Maybe there are still a few around today who knows. Maria has her own candy line (Sugarpova's). By the way, none of those examples are Americans.

On another note, I was there yesterday and our guys were great with the fans, especially Isner. He meandered through autograph hounds to spend some time with a boy in a wheelchair. He called they boy by his name like they were best friends and then gave him some quality time. It was an amazing effort from the gentle giant.

Chalk, still trying to get that USTA job?

I'm not too worried about Isner eating a candy bar, he was #10 in the world after the U.S. Open. With some of the U.S. women/girls like Oudin, I'd be more worried about it. Seems the USTA High Performance is the USTA High Calorie.

I didn't miss your point at all. I think you missed mine. All the best to your kid.

I want a job with the USTA, all the trashed that is talked is sad, until you go down there and see in person what tgeyvare doing for training and encouragement on a day in/out basis, then you have no idea. Great team of coaches and great group of kids to be honest

[Number1Coach]

To be clear Isner was playing the match what was said on the video by Blake was all the US players on the bench were probably having a suger crash from all the candy they were eating that the trainers brought for them, the Brazilians were all fired up we were stoic ,I know Isner is pretty solid about his diet so I doubt he was grubbing candy during his match .

Once again this is a by-product of a broken thought we teach about everything has to be "fun" on the tennis court and we sit here baffled on why were not making serious head way with American tennis .

all our young guys need to tighten up everything in their games and lives cause most the guys in the futures are what I call the bottom feeders and they are all on survival mode .

The official results according to corretennis are little different:

Daniel Dutra Da Silva def. Deiton Baughman 6-3,6-3 (not 6-3,6-4)
Daniel Dutra Da Silva def. Stefan Kozlov 6-0,6-3 (not 6-0,6-2)

They might be wrong, I'm just saying.

Also lets's not forget, at the time of the match Kozlov was still technically only 14 years old, born February 1, 1998.

Wasn't Kozlov just back from injury too (8 weeks off)?

Yes and Baughman was playing through that nasty flu that is going around but if your on the court your on the court and the results are what they are .

BTW I didnt know the driving age in Fl. was 14 ? I saw him driving inFl. back in Nov. and he would have been that technical age you just mentioned , so again is the age 14 for driving in FL or is this Man'Ti Teo the last 4 or 5 yrs and eveyone on here is just gullable?

Why the obsession with Kozlov's age? Get over it already.

Chalk was responding to this guy about the age and what I believe no matter what everybody believes on here , I see someone driving I believe they are of age or cheating the system one way or another cheating yeah ?

If you saw DB or Papas or Nikko or Luca in a bar drinking they either have a fake ID or they are 21, one or the other and if they are telling us they are 19 there is something wrong , but we both can agree is there is a lie being exercised .

[Number1Coach]

How DID ISNER DO TODAY ???? all you candy fans break it down for me .

If you are absolutely certain he's lying about his age, I challenge you to pursue the truth or just finally let it go.

I dont know whos lying or if anyone is lying I am just a guy hearing people talking about a 14 yr that was driving a car and was wondering how this is ? either someone is breaking the law which is not honest or we are all a bunch of Manti Teo's being duped , Just saying .

ultimatley everyone on here listen to TCF spit out is garbage and everyone buys his daughter is a super talent !! Has anyone seen her play ?? If not and you believe she is a super talent then you are a "Manti Teo" a college grad in love with someone they have never seen yet believe they are a real talent and to that I laugh .

as for the age could care a less I like the kid cause he fights through his matches and unlike most kids I watch he does not give up so he has my respect but if I question his age because somethings I witness cotradict please dont fault me for using my mind a nd not blindley excepting things hook ,line and sinker .

Back on topic how did Isner do ???

[RingerOG]

Funny that you should mention Kozlov's age and driving a car. In Florida you can get a learners license at 15 but must have a licensed driver 21 or older in the front seat with you. This could be the case, but that means he is older than 14 or maybe just turned 15. Isner lost in five sets today, opponent just played really well. This court speed did not help the Americans this weekend in my opinion.

According to Chalk back in Nov. he was 14yrs , lets move on! I brought this thread up cause I was watching Davis cup and Bllake said the reason our bench was stoic or paralized of energy was cause they were probably having a sugar crash from all the candy he watched them all munching away on but these guys were given all the candy from our trainers there so they were just doing what they thought was good I guess.

were the courts hard or clay ? wouldnt hard favor us ?
