L.A. Daily News - Wimbledon Can`t Wait (story no longer available at host site as of 3/8/05)
Two top-flight juniors playing high school tennis? With California`s Sam Querrey joining Ohio`s Justin Kronauge, it may be a trend. But as Querrey`s coach says, “most people in his situation wouldn`t even consider playing high school tennis.”
I was happy to read that the Querreys have hired Grant Doyle as Sam`s personal coach. Having a full-time coach/travel companion is often a key component in a junior`s development. And Sam has loads of potential, as he has already demonstrated in winning the 16s in Kalamazoo and reaching the US Open junior quarterfinals last year. But he hasn`t done much international travel and though he`ll be near home for the April ITF events, with their deep and strong fields, he will feel the added pressure of needing wins to raise his ITF ranking (now 99) to the top 50 to avoid having to qualify at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
