Oliynynova won her first career ITF title last week in Greece. Now 17, her big challenge will be overcoming the circuit changes. Oliynykova's hard-earned WTA ranking of No. 848 will be totally wiped out with the new rules, which discard results at the $15,000 level.

The international scope of tennis is the main reason for this. Who can afford to send their kids all over the world every year? Only rich people. It's an elitist game, unfortunately.
