And from what I understand ignored by the USTA in the 12s-16s until recently (seems to be a pattern here). Sock is a good example of tennis player rising to the top and leading a relatively normal life in the process. Sock shows to be successful if you got it you dont have to be a high school drop out and onky hit tennis balls. Wish him luck!getrealhttp://yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
