Nike Junior Masters on Tennis Channel

[tacoben]

Just a heads up...so be on the lookout!

Don't know about your time zone, but it will be televised on the west coast (PST) at 3 pm.

Ahh damn, I'd love to see that!!!

I saw it last night, it was very good. I liked that little kid from Buffalo, Tim Kane ? Giving away about a foot to the top ranked Italian kid, but still playing tough. Also, the Spanish girl that lost in the finals of the 12's seemed like a great kid.

ya I saw that last night too. Pretty good.

They'll show it again very soon most likely. The programming during the holidays is pretty repetitive.

[Brendan]

Oh ya, and this Saturday they have the show Unstrung. Where I live I think its 8pm

[Brendan]

Not to go off topic here, but what do you guys think of Tennis Channel Academy?

I dont have tennis channel because of my cable server location.

I know Timothy Kane. I played a sectional tournament in NJ a little while ago and while waiting we hung around and chatted a little. Nice kid...

Was the Italian kid Quinzi

[tennismom2]

I heard the only reason Timothy Kane was there was because Deiton Baughman wasnt able to go.

Yeah, that was the kid...he definitely had a lot of "star quality" and a very nice game, like they said, he wasn't afraid to go for his shots when it got tight.

He's amazing, his game flows so well, and just moves great.

Yes, Tim Kane went b/c Deiton could not. Timmy is from my section and I have played him several times. Miami83095, do you mind revealing your identity? I am from Eastern Section also and the name is Hugh Mo. You can email me @ mrmo1115@yahoo.com if you want to make it confidential. Just a bit curious.

I think it is very boring. Not at all what I expected.

My name is Daniel from Long Island, NY. My ranking is mad low because I just started 14s and I've had a load of injuries. I think my Eastern ranking now is around 365 which is terrible. On Long Island I think its 70 something. A little better but not as good as once in Twelves on LI I had around 40. I'm 12 on my ladder out of 65 which shows that I play much worse under tournament pressure, Been losing a lot latley...

i thought that italian kid Genluigi Quinzi...or however you spell his name...was pretty solid....that Spanish 14 year old Bautista looked a little promising....could he be a Rafa?...they kept saying that Rafa won that tourny....so there's bound to be a Grand Slam Winner among them..

quinzi showed some cockiness which i didn't appreciate ..

i remember him saying, "if i go crosscourt and down the line and come in, i win 99.9 % of time"

[atatu]

Theres a fine line between confidence and cockiness, and the truth is that all the best players, even if they are coached to be "humble" when talking to the press, are cocky, they have to be. Exhibit A would be Novak Djokovic...

[cujays]

the girls were much better then i expected but the quinze kid is the real deal
