I have a question about the Juniors. Do they show some of these matches on ESPN or even ESPN+?

I would love to watch some of these matches.

^ Canada has 3 seeds (out of 16). The same number as the Czech Republic, and more than the USA.

Of Canada's 3 seeds, Victoria Mboko is the one to watch. In my opinion, she's the one who has the potential for a decent pro career at this point.

Canadian Kayla Cross was behind 4-9 in the 3rd set 10 point tiebreak to Chelsea Fontenel of Switzerland.
So Fontenel needed only 1 point to win the match.
Cross won the next 7 points in a row, and won the tiebreak 11-9.
Bravo. :D

Canadian Jaden Weekes lost a tough one to the #3 seed Mili Poljicak of Croatia - 5-7, 6-7 today.
Jaden is a really good kid - very polite and authentic. Reminds me somewhat of Felix in his demeanour. I hope he makes it at the pro level.

I love watching these girls play cuz they are right around my age. I watched a match yesterday and one of the players was my age (16) and the other (17). Watching them play to my surprise I really think I could hit with them. Now I don't know if I could win a match against them and probably not, but I am pretty sure I would not be blown off the court by these players.

Now players like Coco, Leylah, Emma, Amanda I would be blown off the court by them. Yeah I could hit with them no doubt, but at this point in my tennis I highly doubt I could win a game off of any of these pros unless I was really lucky.

Coming back from my practice I quickly turned on one of the Juniors Girls matches and man I got quickly upset by what I saw. The match was between a 14 year old girl named Isabelle Britton and Marie Badache who is also 14 years old. Britton had won the first set already 6-2 before I turned it on. Badache was running for a stretch baseline shot when she went down awkwardly and definitely hurt her hip and back. She immediately got attention on the sideline from the physio and because they were Juniors both Mom and Dad were also there and they also acted as translators. You could see Badache was in real pain , but her parents seem to encourage her to continue. She went on to go down in the 2nd set 3-0 and called the head referee out and said she wanted to talk with her parents again. She was crying at this time. She went over to her parents with the head referee and the mom continued to encourage her to play. Badache went out and she was visibly not doing well physically and emotionally she was a mess. She was crying on the court between points, but she kept on going. She went onto lose the 2nd set 6-0 and burst into tears after the match. I was so mad and upset seeing this. As soon as the match was over the Psysio can out onto the court to assist her. Her parents should be ashamed of themselves.


Also the 14's play the regular 2 out of 3 sets.

I forget the movie. It was a TRUE LIFE story, about a chess prodigy. Almost by the end, at a tournament (climax of the film) you see one administrator giving a pep talk: no cheating, treat opponents with respect, any complaints must be via the referees.
Then they flip the cameras. He is delivering the rules to THE PARENTS.
Later on, something happens. Again, they show the same initial administrator giving a stern lecture. You broke the rules, you are going to be locked here (a basement) until play is over.
Again, to the parents.
The scene continues. He tells all the kids that their parents are locked downstairs, and play can resume. A little girl looks at him and says "thank you".
The parent from hell. He exists.
---0---
Personal story. I was playing with this 13 yo hotshot, pretty cool kid with great strokes, but a bit on the short side. It is close. Then I play this point: I serve wide to his BH (ad court),he gets to it and blasts a return, but right at me. I volley to the open court, he gets there and is forced to throw a lob, which I smash, to the opposite side, for a winner. His father, standing behind him, yells "Run! You have to run!"
Both the kid and I looked at each other, and laughed. Because we were all friends (his dad was not the parent from hell, this time) I yell at him "did you see what I just did? NOBODY would have reached that ball!"
No harm.
Some time later, I am playing the dad. I basically play the same, exact point. I hit the smash, and, from behind the dad, I hear his kid yell: "RUN! You have to run!!!!".
I frigging crack up, his dad looks at him, and the kid tells him "You see how tough it is to play this (choice words about my mom)? You have to RUN!"
Revenge. Best served cold.

I didn't think these 14's matches were televised and they are on ESPN+ and I am enjoying watching them. These girls who are 2 years younger than me I could definitely be on the court with them and from the looks of it beat them. Now I am small, but these kids a lot of them even look skinnier than me or at least the same size as me. They don't look like they hit the ball any harder than I do. Now they are 2 years younger than me so that makes a huge bit of difference. But even the girls that I have seen playing in the regular Junior event that are 16 and 17 years old I could at least hold my own and hit with them. I doubt if I'd win those matches, but I could be on the court with them for sure.

Sometimes when these big events come along and I get to watch these Juniors play the thought comes into my head "What If". What if, I took that path to attend an academy and become a Junior player. Would I be one of these girls in London right now playing at Wimbledon? It crosses my mind. I practice a lot and feel I give a lot to my training as these girls probably do every single day. I just ask myself sometimes what is it extra that they do to be able to get where they are? Does it take hiring one of these super high profile tennis coaches or going to an academy? Does it take being home schooled or doing online school or even school at an academy? How do some of these young girls get endorsements? i know how I get my equipment and that is from my grandpa, but how do they get all this stuff? How do they get the money to travel to all these places? I wonder about all of this stuff. Maybe this is something I should ask my coach. My coach is a pretty successful local coach, but not like a high profile coach. He is successfully leading me on the path to a bright future in college, but as a kid these thoughts do enter my head.

Because of Deuce I've been following Victoria Mboko. I'm going to try and see the top junior seed Hovde tomorrow.

Victoria Mboko won in 3 sets today and Hovde rolled in straight sets. I have watched a player named Luca Udvardy who is the #7 seed in this tournament and she is playing well and also rolled through to the SF's. Hovde and Mboko play each other in the one SF tomorrow.
