I wonder if in another 5 years the kids who grew up Federer are going to come on the scene and we are going to have dozens of Fed-lites who emulate a lot of his strokes and the way he plays.
That could end up being pretty cool.
I have been watching pro tennis since the early 80s and I have never seen anyone with a game as beautiful as Federer. The way everyone young kid on the tour learned from Tiger it would be cool if the same thing happened in tennis.

the kids that grew up on Federer are already here.
his most dominant period was from 2004-2007.
Actually most of the juniors I see at my local clubs are mainly Nadal and Djokovic bots. Their play styles are much easier to replicate than Federer's, it's rare as hell to see a good junior with a single handed backhand around here these days.

that's what i meant. the kids that the big 4 inspired are already here and it's quite clear that there is no new federer on the horizon (in terms of playstyle).
Poor Genie...she might loose in the first round again at the ITF tourney in Indian Harbour Beach against # 601 Morgan...2 2 in the third set.
Awesome thanks. Genie up a break in the 3rd. Looks like she'll escape.
edit: She does, Genie won 6-4 in the third set
Barely but a win is a win...
Bouchard lost today 6-0, 6-3 to a girl ranked #896 (Vicky Duval). Over the past two years Duval has recovered from Leukemia and more recently a knee surgery.
Duval was born in Miami and spent some of her childhood in Haiti, including time training at the JOTAC Tennis Academy in Port-au-Prince. While living in Port-au-Prince, Duval was robbed at gunpoint and held hostage at her aunt's house at the age of 7.

Frances Tiafoe played Mitchell Krueger on the ATP Challenger Tour in Florida, Sarasota Open.
Preparing to serve midway through the second set, Tiafoe stopped and looked up with childish glee upon hearing sounds that can only mean one thing — some randy lovers were getting it on. Naked style.
A woman's impressively loud moaning was echoing across the court, completely distracting both players.
While Tiafoe giggled to himself, Krueger went over to the chair umpire, grabbed a ball and smashed it out of the court to where the scene of passion was playing out.
The love-making continued for a couple of minutes, prompting Tiafoe to yell out: ”It can't be that good."
So... Serena is 20 weeks pregnant, and she just announced it today which happens to also be Maria's birthday. Lol
Congrats to her anyway!

When's Azatenka back?Unfortunately it will probably be Azarenka or Sharapova
When's Azatenka back?
So I assumed she won't play until next year?

0%Percent chance that Goffin loses this match?
He tried his best, Djokovic just wanted to lose more
