Professional Tennis at Age 15: Too Much to Young? (washingtonpost.com; registration required)
I've decided to re-post what I consider the most significant story of each month in junior tennis. I expect that some months the decision will be much easier than others, with this April's choice certainly a simple one. Doug Robson's story on Donald Young's early professional career is thorough and challenging. Though I would personally vote for Michael Chang as the best American 15-year-old ever, Young is certainly in the conversation. Whether that title is even worth arguing about is a better question.

Sam Querrey and Ryan Harrison celebrate winning tough matches on Wednesday with a little putting contest at the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs.
and left it sitting on the court during the entire changeover, a monument to his frustration. Levine began the third up 15-0 when the umpire penalized Venus for racquet abuse, and things didn't improve much for Venus after that, as he could manage only one game in the set.
Although Boserup has a relatively short list of accomplishments, her recent semifinal showing at the Chanda Rubin 18s in College Station gave her confidence a boost and she was able to prevail 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-1 in a long, tense match. She will face top seed Alison Ramos, who is even more local, as she hails from Carson, where the Home Depot Center is located.
found himself in his first true test of the tournament, but he eventually subdued Jeffrey Gast 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. His opponent in Saturday's final will be big-serving Bozhidar Katsarov, who has cruised through his five matches, losing only 14 games. 
In Thursday's match, the 16-year-old from Moscow displayed a rock solid all-around game, often surprising Damico with his ability to hit winners from normally defensive positions. Much calmer than the animated Damico, who was close to being defaulted in his match on Wednesday, Chekhov seemed unconcerned after losing the marathon tiebreaker. He jumped out to an early lead in the second set, and made an early break in the third stand up, although Damico threatened to even the final set on several occasions. 
SFX is correct in saying it will increase Oudsema's exposure, especially in New York in August. Hmmm.....I wonder if this means a main draw US Open wildcard is in his future.
