    Junior results don't mean jack shit. There's plenty of players who were top juniors that tanked in the pros.

  • @TheDeadlyKnight
    @TheDeadlyKnight 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm sure she'll probably make the pros, but a champion? first thing she'll need is a growth spurt. ladies tennis has evolved and there won't be many under-5'10 ladies grand slam winners in the future. The pros are full of amazons now, who almost all the top contenders are great at the service return game; If you're short and your serve is never going to be capable of hurting anyone, I don't see it in regards to being a "prodigy" or winning all 4 grand slams.

    She looks female, so I guess she is transitioning? Interesting conundrum for the sport. She looks really good in those pants. She should stay a woman/girl.
