Yep, always rooting for him!

Danny Nguyen and Jason Jung are making rapid ranking gains as well.

Except that they haven't reached their potential highest rankings yet. Maybe after they top out, there could be a focus shift to doubles, but they shouldn't concede while still this young.

The current #70 doubles player in the world is Andre Begemann. As most people at that level he plays both doubles and singles.

His combined earnings for 2012 is $55,277 USD. He has played in 24 tournaments in 11 different countries. He was able to win or make the finals in several tournaments. He won $472 for winning the USA F7 Future, $247 for making the finals in the USA F8 future, $625 for making the finals in a challenger in Mexico.

I don’t know how you can consider this “good money”. I don’t think you can even pay the travel cost.

Face the fact that tennis is not a popular sport in the U.S. That's why there is no money in it accept for the top 100. That's why the top athletes play other sports. I went to the Division 1 ITA finals yesterday. The tennis was terrific. There were 10 people watching.

I agree ,were told from the beginning to not clap to much, dont root your player on, never get excited,make these matches a funeral.

We had a ref tell DB early on dont pump your fist and say "right here lets go " I told that ref to shut her mouth and dont tell my player he cant be who he is ,excited about playing , i then told DB play with passion and fire and let no one quench that and he has .

Tennis is dying , even on here if you say you want to go pro you have MC TCF start trying to quench your fire just like that ref tried with DB and many on here are on his bandwagon of "lets kill the sport without knowing what were doing".

I will prove it TCf said about 3 weeks ago " Ok i guess he is not going to college and best of luck" what is his tone now? today, is he throwing out encouragement or as usual shooting shot of dispair?

he has started to attack the Heath coach on another thread , he is a cancer and cancer kills our sport.

Yes. I really think the prize money should be much higher in the futures and challengers.

The winner should at least be paid enough to cover expenses, so the winner can at least break even.
