There's I think 24 Asians in the draw. :eek: This is the most I've ever seen. Or have I just not been paying attention to the juniors in awhile.
Why Are There So Many Asians In The Juniors Draw?Martian KC Jan 23rd, 2011, 12:44 AM There's I think 24 Asians in the draw. :eek: This is the most I've ever seen. Or have I just not been paying attention to the juniors in awhile. eck Jan 23rd, 2011, 12:49 AM Perhaps :p I don't pay that much attention too, but surely because it's the Asia Pacific GS would have helped. Perhaps most Asian junior players can't afford to go to the other slams, so maybe we hardly see them there. marquis.de.sade Jan 23rd, 2011, 12:56 AM Asians make up half of the world's population ... Sombrerero loco Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:13 AM because of the olympic games 08 in beijing njnetswill Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:27 AM Juniors is mostly about being consistent, and Asian players are good at that. Well, except ErrorNa. Leo_DFP Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:32 AM Going forward we're going to have a lot of Asians in the Top 200 and even 100, but probably very few ever in the Top 10. ZODIAC Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:33 AM thats the future of tennis and imagine ten years from now the tour will three quarters asian Tennis Fool Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:41 AM Yeah, I noticed that too. hdfb Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:42 AM Asians love money, they got wind that tennis is one of the most highest paying sports, is it any wonder there are many Asians in the draw? They see players like Wozniaki get to #1, so of course they are thinking, why not me? oleada Jan 23rd, 2011, 01:43 AM A lot of Euro/NA players withdrew. Maybe the can't afford to go, while the Asians can. Tripp Jan 23rd, 2011, 02:26 AM Most of the top junior players skip the Australian Open. It's way too far to travel and a very expensive trip, considering they don't get any prize money and mostly rely on their federations for financial support. It's always been like that. So, it's understandable that most of the players in the draw are from Asia. It's nearer for them, and there are also quite a few in the junior top 100. BlueTrees Jan 23rd, 2011, 02:40 AM Because Asia is near Australia..

Everybody loves money. kittyking Jan 23rd, 2011, 02:56 AM Because of their breeding habits juki Jan 23rd, 2011, 03:00 AM It has nothing to do with Asians about to become dominate in tennis, or because they play a consistent game for juniors(which I don't even this is true...). A lot of European, and pretty much ALL American juniors have skipped the AO because its not worth the expense. simonsaystennis Jan 23rd, 2011, 03:19 AM It has nothing to do with Asians about to become dominate in tennis, or because they play a consistent game for juniors(which I don't even this is true...). A lot of European, and pretty much ALL American juniors have skipped the AO because its not worth the expense. This. There are only 2-3 Asian girls that are legitimately promising in the draw. eck Jan 23rd, 2011, 04:57 AM Because of their breeding habits ....What? One child policy? Freakan Jan 23rd, 2011, 10:40 AM Because many better players can't afford to go to Australia and Asians have inflated rankings thanks to gaining points from local tournaments no one else wants to play. Tennis Fool Jan 27th, 2011, 09:19 PM Only three, including #3 see Saisai Zheng, made it to the 3rd round. None to the quarters. | |
