Young had so much hype, but just now starting to show that he has ability. But i dont think he is a future top 10

I have heard alot people say if he would stop having his parents coach him and get another coach he could be doing alot better but who knows. I have also heard he doesnt work very hard

yea his fitness is awful, and he has very poor strength.

his parents coaching him are another thing. USTA has tried to get him help, but he always go back to his parents coaching.

I heard the USTA stop giving him wildcards last year because he wouldnt accept any USTA coaches to help him. he has done better this year so hopefully this is a sign of things to come

without a doubt Young needs to ditch his parents as coaches. thats BUSH-LEAGUE AS F**k to have your folks guiding your pro career. the kids got mad talent he just doesnt seem to *actually care*. sad really, he could have already been an established force by now

I think John Isner will be the next American grand slam champ in the next 2 years unless roddick sneaks another one in. Also Ryan Sweening sic has good potential IMO and I will mention Donald Young as an honorable mention.

As far as the women are concerned I think Coco Vandewehe might have something to say soon. She reminds me of Lindsay Davenport.

If Isner becomes a slam champion, if Isner even reaches the top five.

That's when I'll know the state of professional tennis is at an all time low.

He's pretty much the taller version of Roddick, I'm a big fan of Roddick, but there's something about Isner that makes me dislike him. I can't put my finger on it.

I think the Williams sisters are a major exception to the rule, plus most of the women use their parents as coaches, probably a reason the tour is in a state.

after watching roddick the last few matches.....the guy has no baseline game to compare with the other guys....his game has taken a serious dip from both wings i mean back in the early 2000's roddick was hitting winners and multiple winners from the forehand side....the only way he can win a point these days is an ace or a lucky volley winner....HIS FOREHAND AND BACKHAND STINK
