Kind of continuing our discussion from the Day 7 thread Serena and Venus were not totally involved with the USTA system and Richard and Oracene weren't taking on students. Taylor on the other hand is part of the system and I may be wrong but I think she's one of the best they've produced. I'm hoping that her fitness issues are being resolved otherwise we're going back to the days when women players were denigrated by male players as out of shape lumbering non athletes. Any long term fan/follower of Lindsay Davenport is familiar with that mindset.

The other USTA juniors I've seen touted as up and coming, Lauren Davis comes to mind, are small in stature. The European women who are dominating now are tall like Kvitova. The shorter women like Sara Errani are very very fit. I hope that the up and coming US women work on their fitness. It will help.
