    Hingis was world nr 1 at 15. Monica Seles was winning big WTA tournaments as 14. Just saying. But I´m a fan of every young ambitious person who aspires for great things! Also must commend Coco´s parents. They seems wonderful.

    Cori (“Coco”) Gauff is okay, but has no real weapon. Taylor Townsend, age 23, who just defeated freshly-minted Wimbledon champ Simona Halep earlier this week, has the potential to be great like fellow lefty Martina (Navratilova) because of her attacking serve & volley game - only thing is, Taylor will need to drop 30 pounds to get there.

    • @swinde
      @swinde Před 4 lety +1

      It is too bad, because Taylor is extremely talented. She is very fast around the court in spite of her size.
      Looking at the stats, it seems that she was serving and volleying big time again today. She might even make it into the later rounds.

    • @miscellanyman263
      @miscellanyman263 Před 4 lety +1

      It appeared that Ms. Townsend was struggling a bit in the 1st Set, not coming to net. But in the 2nd Set, she poured her serve & volley game on to secure her 3rd Round victory against Cirstea today Saturday, August 31, 2019. At this stage of her career, Ms. Townsend’s serve is still not as strong as Martina (Navratilova)’s was, but there is room for improvement. I would love to see Martina take Ms. Townsend on for some mentoring, given that Martina (sorry, Serena) is the all-time G.O.A.T.!

      You are correct, and to become one of the greatest you will have to hold several grand slam titles. Most people consider Martina Hingis to be among the greats and she has only five slams. Maria Sharapova has had a huge impact on tennis, but holds only five slams. But she was also among the youngest to hold these titles. Other greats hold seven or more.
