Coria, Guillermo (ARG )
Nalbandian, David (ARG )
Ferrero, Juan Carlos (ESP )
Henman, Tim (GBR )
Moya, Carlos (ESP )
Schuettler, Rainer (GER )
Agassi, Andre (USA )
Hewitt, Lleyton (AUS )

No...they haven´t won anything, just millions of dollars and the respect they have for having such a great talent at young ages, and BTW the reason why rooney &amp; LBJ haven't won any tournament is because their career has just started and they are still in small teams...just think if rooney for example would've started playing for Manchester United, he would be the one of the best players in the world...so don't blame their age!

Masters 1984; twelve players, top four got byes:


McEnroe
Connors
Lendl
Wilander
Kriek
Krickstein
Sundstom
Nystrum
Jarryd
Smid
Teltcher
Gerulaitis


I'd take 1984's top seven over 2004's top seven.

"...just millions of dollars..."

Good point. That IS the point.

Spent several thousand dollars in the past few years (trying desperately to get that ball over the net are we?) and can have people banned with one phone call? Oh. my I'm impressed. Don't worry dan, Martina is still lurking around in an effort to appeal to all age groups and give encouragement to the "older crowd." And Dan, there must be message boards with similar aged people who likely would agree whole-heartedly with you. Good luck.

Interesting.


Actually, I would like to see that...

Dan, if you are 46 you should remember Borg won the French Open at 17 and Tracy Austin the US Open at 16. At least you don't hate the players, just hate the game that eats its young. Win fast, retire young, and get paid.

If you didn't figure this out, they are players in a TEAM, they can't just win it by them selfs... And, please make that phone call and take me off of this board the almighty tennis player who spent several thousands of dollars buying the equipment! Whoa!!!Obviously, waist of money!!

BigBoyDan-why don't you get me banned from the message boards? I called you a moron, and I stand by it. Why don't you call Tenniswarehouse? I'm shaking with fear. Do you realize that everyone is disagreeing with you? Do you know how to read? And no one really knows why it makes you so mad that young people can win in tennis. Its been very common for a long time...maybe you should just stop watching pro tennis if you hate it so much. And if a 17 year old beat you badly in tennis? Would that make you really mad as well?

Oooh threatening an ISP ban. I am sure everybody is shaking in their boots. Only a complete noob could not get around an isp ban assuming you actually know the forum adiminstrators like you claim.

Chopin,

Here's the difference between you and me:

I call you a moron, nothing happens; you're a kid with no money. I, on the other hand, am 46. And I have bought several thousand dollars worth of Tennis Warehouse products in the last two years. I can, with one phone call, have you banned from this posting board along with your entire ISP. I'll accept you apology for the slander, this time only.
Dan - I see you've run out of material to counter the arguments of your "antagonist". ..

In football, there are tons of players that are teenagers. Wayne Rooney was 17 when he scored two goals to beat croatia. Pele was 17 when he lead Brazil to the 1958 world cup. And there are tons more players that are 18 or under. Look at Michelle Wei. She's only 14, and can beat the vast majority of veterans. I'm sure she'll have won a tournament by 17.
