Phenom in tennis officially elite-level

    Last week while I was in the midst of the ITA Indoor, I received a link from David to this story from the Tucson Arizona Daily Star about Carlos Bermudez (and his older brother Dominic), two blue chips from that city.

    Carlos Bermudez is one of the players at the USTA's new Boca Raton national training center, and, to me at least, one of the less well-known ones. The list of boys training in Boca is here.

    This is a written by a sports columnist in Tucson who is probably not accustomed to writing about tennis (the paper does almost no coverage of the 12s and 14s Winter Nationals), so I found the comments below an example of sloppy reporting on the mainstream media side of journalism (Take that Chris McCoskey!).
    It's likely that when Carlos gets to his dorm-style quarters in Florida, he'll be the only one of the elite group who played the USTA junior circuit while traveling by private automobile, with no paid coaching staff.
    and then later he adds:
    Wait until the producers at ESPN get a load of the Bermudez family. Championship Tennis On The Cheap. Nobody does that these days.
    Yes they do. Lots and lots of families do, and I see them and talk to them at every junior tournament. Does he?
