Miami Tiburon
Semi-Pro
I thought I would post my thoughts on watching the Junior Orange Bowl the last few weeks.I was pleased to see the American kids do so well especially in the 16"s Boys and Girls.I was very sorry to hear of the fight that broke out during doubles play I only read about it,but not much talk concerning the incident at the Tournament.Its very upseting for the Juniors who work so hard to get to the Orange Bowl only to be disquilified, but I think they have to send a message with how some of these kids are acting on and off the court.At the boys 14's tournament I thought a couple of players should have been disqualified by basicly acting like brats and cursing on the court.One of the things I think officials should do is penalize players for trash talking in the direction of their opponets.Its getting to were every point they have to scream something at the opponent.Also the racquet throwing and the screaming is just out of control.Its ok to pump yourself up with come on or Vamos, but his thing were they scream WHAT looking in the direction of the opponent its just uncalled for.The line calling has also been terrible all this week I think I have seen two matches were the players were fair with eachother.Not everything has been bad the Tennis has been great, and these Juniors just keep getting better and better every year.I just wish the parents would help along with the officials and take control of the actions of the players on the court.
