I doubt that has any implications on how rare and profound it for Mmoh, Tiafoe, and Kozlov to end up in the top ten like they did. <br /><br />However that might have implications on whether fewer or more top juniors have been forgoing junior competitions to work on futures and challengers as of late. It's really hard to tell which way things are trending, if they're changing at all.

Thanks for the link to your post, and y...@PTWahoo14<br />Thanks for the link to your post, and your research. The ITF rules requires players to compete in 3 Grade As and 3 tournaments outside their own countries to be included in the year-end rankings. That's why the seemingly random cutoffs. It also explains the dearth of young players you note. It's hard to get into 3 Grade As.Colette Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905215531491180014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-55510103156591029572013-12-16T17:22:59.749-05:002013-12-16T17:22:59.749-05:00What do you think of Tiafoe's potential?

How do you compare his game to Mmoh's? Both seem like great kids and I wish them the best.

And I reference a little bit a discussion held on your website about junior players focusing on pros and that issue skewing the junior rankings. <br /><br />my post: http://www.menstennisforums.com/showpost.php?p=19756705&postcount=975<br /><br />But my resources for all my research is basically just google and the itf website, and I faced many strange inconsistencies. I was wondering if you might have more dependable resources for these rankings? <br /><br />Also I thought it'd be a good discussion starter for commenters on here if they're interested in reading it at all.

From the math, and your later description that Tiafoe held to reach 4-4, this should read "4-2".<br />MarkTennisopolishttp://tennisopolis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10016685.post-70141707358737193452013-12-15T21:20:22.270-05:002013-12-15T21:20:22.270-05:00When is the video for this match coming out?When is the video for this match coming out?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411923402420540293noreply@blogger.com
