Go Vera! :angel:

You might add a Russian Maria probably better than Sharapova: of course Kirilenko.

As much as I would, she needs to start playing pro events first.;)

Anne Keothavong! ;)

Yes, don't forget about Kirilenko!!!

Karolina Sperm.....lol!!!

GO SVETLANA AND DINARA!!!!!!!!!!!

She has KC, now she needs to start qualifying for them;)

If you take Harkleroad in, and forget Iveta Benesova, youre damned silly. Iveta is 19, and will surprise everybody in 2003 !!!

:hearts: :kiss: :bounce: :bounce:

nice list plus their best events Pea!

:bounce: hope to see more of them in 2003! :bounce:

at least this year i managed to see the likes of Vera/Dinara/Angelique/MGM/Myriam playing on telly :)

:bounce:

KC,

As much as I would love to see Sofia do well, I don't think she is destined for the top 20.

:bounce:

angie!! keep the asian spirit alive!!
all the best!!! keep on moving!!!!!!!

What happened to Elena Baltacha in that list?

Bally is too old :o as is Iveta

Pea's taken players born in 1983 off
they can't be new breeds for ever ;)

LOL, sorry if I don't include your favorites, but I do have my reasons which include age and playing enough tournaments to qualify into the new breed status.:o:p

Go Marion,Angelique and Vera!!!

Go Angelique

UPDATED!
-Biggest jumper goes to Marie-Gaiane for breaking into the top 40!
-She also regains the number 1 title.;)
-Harkleroad is closing in on the top 100!
-Lina jumps a big 21 spots to 139. It won't take her long to get back in the top 100.;)

expecting big years from douchevina, bastrikova, bratchikova, linetskaya, strycova, kirilenko and golovin. hopefully krajicek, kutuzova, gambale and julia cohen can get some experience on the itf circuit.

UPDATED!
-Marion finally makes it into the top 100 and becomes our biggest jumper last week. She's 92 right now.
-Expect big jumps from Maria, Sunitha, and Jelena when the next rankings come up!^_^

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: GO JELENA!!!

why aren't players like golovin, elke clijsters, linetskaya, douchevina and bastrikova on your list? are they ranked too low to be consider to be part of the new breed or don't they play enough. i know they are ranked pretty low but i don't think that should have anything to do with whether they are classed as the new breed or not. the same with domachowska.

They make me feel so old...

:bounce: Su-Wei - Vera - Kuznetsova :bounce:

Thanks for the list. You might want to include Chanelle Scheepers (long time since south africas had anyone decent), and Alyona Bondarenko (i think shes got potential). And maybe Galina Fokina.

They have to be under 19, Experimentee.:o

I just checked. Chani and Alyona are both 18 (born 1984), and Galina just turned 19. You dont need to change it though, its just a suggestion.

Great posts. The WTA is in good company in the up coming
decade. I disagree with what some are saying about the
current top 15. I think it's better than ever- we've got alot
of new people. Tennis fans are just a sentimental bunch;
and truly miss their old favorites. You have to admit that
the current top 20 is the new tennis regime.


Oh- if you missed my earlier post the Russian Maria's are
already stars in Japan. They are featured among the
Sisters, Dokic, Sampras etc..on the 2003 Tennis Journal
magazine calender of tennis champions. :) lol.


http://www.ptrsys.com/tennis-journal/030204.html

go janko. :) too bad about that tough loss in paris tho.

I'd say Elena Baltacha and Anne K are in the new breed.Elena is ranked 160ish and has got 2 25k's and a 3rd round in wimbledon.

Anne just won her first 25k and should climb into the top 200 so i'd say is new breed status!

elke clijsters moved up from #642 to #554

Anna-Lena Groenefeld went from #457 to #456

cohen aloro moved up from #166 to #121 and beat pistolesi in her first round this week.

great going girls! keep it up!

MGM still nr. one! :)

pity she's injured, and when she returns, she'll be 19 and will vanish from this list... :sad:

I apologize for feeling ignorant, but who on earth is Chanelle Scheepers? :cool: That's a pretty funky name, if you ask me!

BUMP for niceman! Here is the more updated one. Feel free to use it.

Anyone feel like updating one of my favorite threads? Looks like there have been a lot of changes in the last couple of months.

Thanks JaneAgain. If niceman won't update this, I'll work on it again this weekend.:)

Go Svetlana :woohoo:

Thanks Martin KC. I look forward to the update. Following the young players and seeing how they develop is one one of the things I enjoy most about tennis.
