Intresting. American junior tennis seems to put out good junior players but when they go in the pro's they don't do as good. On the contrast the Willam sisters didn't have big junior careers and still had lots of sucess

I think most have good junior careers. I think the WS and Agassi would the be exceptions....

I don't think Davenport won any Slams as a junior either.

No surprise for Sharapova but finally Zvonareva wins a match instead of losing in the 1 round

Jackson def. Likhovtseva 6-4, 6-3. Jackson is doing pretty well here. Fed cup brought out some stuff in her.

How shocking, Sharapova has the best winning percentage on grass in Tour history. This isn't an accurate viewpoint though, as Graf's wins took place over a couple of decades while Sharapova's took place over 2-3 years.
