True, but take out Serena and Venus and what are we really left with? Not a lot of quality unfortunately. A lot of hope, but nothing beyond that at this point. They will develop and hopefully gain confidence. But it will be a while.
thats my dream, to make to the top 10 in the wordl to give the USA hope again
I will bank on that. You keep going. I hope you do it.
Will be a tough road im sure, but you are young and eager...keep you hope and dreams aimed high...we will keep an eye out for you! Go Myiesha!!!

Most of these women are in there late 20's or early 30's
We need to push our young Americans to play more tennis and support them.
I hate to watch tennis where's there no Americans at all on TV.
The Usta is a joke they don't know most top player because they don't play usta tennis they play ITF your remember Melanie Oudin They didn't know her and they didn't know Ryan Harrison or Beatrice Capra in this years US open ,Melanie went from 39 to 71
Donald Young owned Sam Query in the Jr's USTA step in now he is not top 100 I am the top African American Female in Nor-Cal in 18 yr old Div and i couldn't get the Althea Gibson Diversity grant for travel and training( there out of Money at this time) they asked me every year to join there travel team to the ATA nationals and I have took 1st or 2nd every year and can i come out to a community showing so they can ask for money from supporters and show how good their training is. i was told
from someone in my position i want get grant money because i don't use a USTPA certified coach
