There's nothing in this story that suggests Young is "aching " for anything, so let's just blame the headline on a misguided editor under deadline pressure.

The story itself covers all the same ground as those that appeared during Young's San Jose ATP debut last month. The reporter may not realize it, but that Young plays a qualifier is not any stroke of luck for him. He was beaten badly by Paul Goldstein in Scottsdale, and Goldstein was a lucky loser.

I do feel it is unfortunate that IMG keeps putting him in the main draw of their events, and this one, part of the Masters Series, features an absolutely stellar field on the men's side. Wayne Arthurs, who won in Scottsdale, had to qualify, while Young, Alex Kuznetsov and Mark Philippoussis, who have one ATP win between them in 2005, get straight in because they are IMG clients. I think wild cards for the qualifying tournament are fine for any promising junior, but taking the spot of a more accomplished player in the main draw of a tournament of this magnitude is simply unjust.
