Would Katia Afinogenova be ready for the wta tour by now if she had stayed in juniors

born the sam year as kirilenko and sharapova who ahve just started their attack on the wta. katia is such a talent but not playing juniors really hurt her. btw how tall is she now?

Katia would be better prepared for the WTA Tour if she had stayed in the juniors.

I think she's about 5'6" tall.

How has she done in the challengers?

And I gather injuries have slowed her developement.

She's doing badly, cat:

You can never eally know, its hard to say.

That's a good link supplied by janie.
In late July, Afinogenova won four straight matches to go through the qualifiers and get to the quarters in a 10k in Italy. She lost to Petra Diznar, but gained 3.25 points. She beat the #2 seed, Leanne Baker.
