You beat me to it - lol.
Yes - congrats.
I feel of the girls in her group - vickery, duval, and keys - she
is actually the only kid with any weapons.
What are your thoughts?
I'm thinking because she is actually training thru everts and not the usta development.
this is a huge win for madison. congrats to her and her family for this win. i think that this is the same girl who beat sharapova at wimbledon last year, right? if so then this win is even bigger. Does anyone know if she has turned pro?
Well Madison lost in the 2nd round but took 5 games off of the #10 player in the world. Not many 14 year olds can claim that!
Sounds like the match was closer than the score would indicate too:

Definately, we all know that a few key points can make or break a set.
Madison is a big hope for US tennis. She just might have that rare combination of talent, good size, work ethic, and a strategic tennis mind that makes for a successful pro player.
Lets see what the next few years brings but so far so good.
shes 14 theres know way of telling what will happen, its to early even though shes had a lucky outing.And no dout these other players were just having a bad day.
:lol::lol::lol::lol:We get it Brad....Kozlov is lucky, Carlos Boluda isn't much, neither is Tomic. Madison Keys who has won the Orange Bowl, the Herr, beaten the 81st player in the world and played tough vs the 10th ranked world player got lucky.....every single big match she has ever won. The 415th ranked boy who beat your kid also got lucky.
The tennis world according to Brad is a fun place!!
its to early even though shes had a lucky outing.And no dout these other players were just having a bad day.
How do you know it was a lucky outing? How do you know
that they were having a bad day? Did you talk to them?
Were you at the match? She averaged 101mph on her
serve... Was that luck?
The tennis world is a place where development is a process that "no one" can tell the end results except for Tennis Florida and TEnniscrazed ,,when your looking at kids that are 10-14 you see some that are being built for the future some that will be known as great juniors you just can never tell, i think out of all the girls in the USA i think this girl is being built right ,she unfortunately is probably the USA best hope she's pretty solid i watched her "in PERSON" so i can give a "fair critique" of her and she is good. BTW didn't the younger Tomic destroy Boluda at the Ausi open 0 an 3 according to some standards here that means Boluda has no potential. ONE Question to TCF and Tenniscrazed have you ever seen that DB kid play in person??
who is DB? your son? how is he relevant to the conversation? has he beaten a top 100 atp player?
and i'd agree with tenniscrazed and tcf, she seems to be the real deal. how many other girls that age can take out a top 100 player? this isn't like some youtube video where we're all guessing how good the player will be, we have results bro.
those 2 would understand the question ,,I agree as i said i think she is solid ,,is she the real deal after "one" win?? i wouldn't get ahead of myself or to excited time will tell in this marathon!
who's getting ahead? unless i can't read, no one said she's gonna be #1 in the world. the thread is titled "congratulations..." it was meant to highlight the big win she had. yes it was "one" win, though i don't know why that has to be quoted. so she takes out a top pro player, we say good job, and you get mad...why again?
ok, then i guess you didnt say this, "its to early even though shes had a lucky outing.And no dout these other players were just having a bad day."
it wasnt lucky. she won. her opponent wasn't injured. petrova even said she was tough.
Correct, you judge on a track record...Orange Bowl, Herr, seeing her hit vs Evert and the pros who Evert has visit at Boca, beating the 81st player, playing tough vs # 10, the opinions of Lansdorp and others who have watched her play.
That is not luck, it is a track record of success.
Why do we let BB contaminate every thread and every post. No matter what is the thread about, he always brings his son into it and sucks all life out of a thread.
How did we get from "congrats to Madison Keys" to having another useless and silly argument about the same stupid subject.

Hey genuis it was and "inside" to tennis florida and tenniscrazed the 2 experts on here i was laughing when i typed it ! But some things have to be explained with lego's to others . S H E "S ,,,,, A ,,,,, V E R Y ,,,, S O L I D ,,,,, P L A Y E R
Ouch.... man, that one hurt. If only "GENIUS" were spelled correctly, I might take it as an intelligent thought. And legos doesn't have an apostrophe, they don't own anything.
didn't i spell it right the first time? lol
Probably not.
I have seen Keys play and yes she has decent ground strokes and at this age has been able to win from sheer power. But there is only one way to beat Keys, it is to drop shot, drop shot, and drop shot. She cannot move up and back. The most important shot to have in girl's tennis is the drop shot since most girls have extreme difficulty moving up and back and to add to their lack of mobility most girls do not have a solid net game so even if they do reach the ball it is easy to flip the ball right over their backhand shoulder.
Ummm....sure Brad, and I bet she has couties too...those icky girls.
The girl can play and more importantly, she's a great kid.
Madison looked like the real deal tonight. Only 17. Hit 119 mph is her last service game. Big forehand. Took out 30 seed 2 and 1. Big match coming up agnst Kerber. Guys/Gals: we have a young American to talk about on this Board.
Remember, she beat Serena 3 years ago at 14. No real surprise here, the kid can play.
From what I read that actually slowed her progress down 'cause all the attention and publicity she'd got. We can discuss her here and hope she (and her camp) do not follow the board.
