Papa Lazaru 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 He's going well, but he needs to sort out his problem with playing 4-5 set matches as at his age he shouldn't be tiring/feeling ill/getting injured/cramp so easy and frequently. But he definitely looks like a genuine prospect and since he isn't middle class English then loads of people won't hate him like they did with Henman.

His body isn't fully developed so he's not really ready to play 5 set matches. Same way that boxers aren't ready for 15 rounds as soon as they start in the game.

It may be he's not ready yet, but in other countries their young players always seem way ahead of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a young man's game now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or look at Rooney in football. The stamina will come but it'll take time. I reckon Gol's got it right, although there may be some work that he could do to help hurry things up.
