Ahh damn, I'd love to see that!!!
They'll show it again very soon most likely. The programming during the holidays is pretty repetitive.
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.
Was the Italian kid Quinzi
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.
Not to go off topic here, but what do you guys think of Tennis Channel Academy?
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 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..
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...
the girls were much better then i expected but the quinze kid is the real deal
Interesting comment by Brad Gilbert about the girls...how they mature faster than the boys and will likely be pro's in the next 3-4 years. The Spanish Girl, Virginia Pena, looks very promising but the Chinese girl who beat her is probably an indication of things to come.
Does anyone know where the finals are going to be this year?
same place i was told!
Really? Thats odd that they would have it in the same country 2 years in a row. But thats makes it convenient thats for sure.
To be honest guys I was supposed to play in that but I'm suffering from a back injury and foot injury, my doubles partner played in that one though.
same place i was told!
