Being a Prodigy Has Its Faults - New York Times (registration required)

Being a Prodigy Has Its Faults - New York Times--

Rhoden weighs in on Donald Young in this story from Paris, where Young lost in the second round yesterday to Ukrainian Dolgopolov, who has hands comparable to Young's. In other words, very nice.

Rhoden quotes mentor McEnroe as now predicting that Young will struggle. Jumping off the bandwagon pretty fast, aren't you John?

But I agree completely with Donald Sr. that Jr. needs matches.
Junior matches. Futures qualifying matches. Some anonymity.
Well, the first two can be arranged.

Note to the Times fact-checking staff: The ATP doesn't have anything to do with junior tennis tournaments. It's the ITF.
