Try not to take to much interest in what Azza says, I got over trying to comprehend preteens along time ago.
Timea Bacinzky is a young swiss player, and Have seen her play in u15 tournaments in Zurich, and Bern. They are a apparent Jewish family. She has a good all round game, good serve, Very Good Forehand and back hand good aswell. Good all round power game. She does show a good net game aswell. Inconsistency is probably her letdown, but when you have 14 year old girls, I geuss thats something within their game, shell learn to harness it eventually.
Watching her play I think she is like Martina, in a lot of ways, but with more power. She has worked with Molitor apparently also. She does all those sneeky things in the warm up Martina does as well LOL

I could ring Heinz and ask, (BigWig at Swiss Tennis Foundation)
I have no idea if it's full time, maybe its only part-time coaching or something. I will ring though.
I met Timea Baczinsky's mother at a tournament last year, she is a very nice lady. It seems that Timea's parents have a healthy and positive attitude regarrding their daughter's tennis. Both of Timea's parents were born in Hungary. As I remember they live in Geneva now.

In SUI Timea has to physically go to school @ her age. Mischa Krajicek (a great player who I'm not dissing, BTW) gets to do that online, while playing bigger events, like the imminent Grade A Burger King Orange Bowl in Key Biscayne.
The fame of Timea Baczinsky could also work to the advantage now of Tina. Certainly Patty Schnyder benefitted greatly from playing in the "shadow" of Martina Hingis in the early years of her career. This brought Patty recognition while not putting her under the pressure to be the nation's top player. Baczinsky may do similarly for Schmassmann in coming years.
