Who else do you give it to.. The older guys who have been around forever and proved they won't be top American players.. They seem to be giving them to younger players who have proved competitive at this level. We don't have but a few but they seem to spread them out amongst the ones who have shown ability hereRight thing to donoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-82713503643348501482012-12-14T13:54:43.524-05:002012-12-14T13:54:43.524-05:00to whom it may concern....Livestream just went OFF...to whom it may concern....Livestream just went OFFLINE at the USTA Australian Open Wildcard Torunament in Georgia....Somebody let them know...thanksOn with the Shownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-89060247572897866272012-12-13T23:59:05.062-05:002012-12-13T23:59:05.062-05:00Why is Christian Harrison in the playoff mix.

Hasn't he had enough freebies with all the challenger WCs he received this year?<br />I'd like to see every aspiring player given those same chances. He was given a ton of WCs into futures till he could inch his way in those, now the challenger circuit. We won't have an American champion till they earn it, not given points. Until then, at least share the wealth.tennis2daynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-77274273017842649012012-12-13T22:07:54.870-05:002012-12-13T22:07:54.870-05:00I saw Taylor Townsend play at a pro tournament in ...I saw Taylor Townsend play at a pro tournament in Texas recently. She won a tight match and then immediately was off to the practice courts afterwards. <br /><br />Later I asked her "why" (b/c the other match had lasted almost 3 hours). She said, "B/c I played so poorly and really needed to", which she really did not. I loved her work ethic.work-hard-tennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527717750740121251noreply@blogger.com
