Kenin who?
(Has any top player completely disappeared more rapidly than Kenin? Genie Bouchard disappeared quite fast - but not as fast as Kenin... and Genie hadn't had the same degree of success that Kenin had.)
125s will tend to attract more known players at this time of year than usual, because of the lack of tournaments, and some players wanting to get a jump on the season to be ready for the Aussie swing in January.
As for Alicia Parks - she won both the singles and the doubles Final today in the 125 tournament before the one mentioned above.
I haven't seen her play much, and so can't comment on her tennis abilities. But she's going to have to show me that she has matured into much better sportsmanship than what she is best known for here in Canada...
Here (below) is a video of what I'm referring to. It happened 3 years ago between Parks and Canadian Katherine Sebov, who is currently ranked #223 (Parks is currently ranked #100).
Being Canadian myself, I've seen Sebov play several times. I've never seen her cause any problems or be involved in any type of controversial situation apart from this one. She is known here as a fair player. I asked a linesman friend of mine (who has officiated many of Sebov's matches over the years, going back to Junior level) if he's ever seen Sebov cause any problems, and he said 'No'.
For those who wish to delve deeper into this mess, I am including a couple of links below the video, where Stephanie Myles tries to dissect what happened...
