Are there any good junior players that are as good as Anna Kournikova or Elena Likhovsetva?

Galia Fokina/Svetlana Kuznetsova won US OPEN

Irina Kotkina , Vera Douchevina , Anna Bastrikova , Dinara Safina all pretty good juniors.

There are alot of others as well

I would like to say Maria Sharapova. But she doesn't play doubles. Does she Eggy?

Yeah, I agree that it helps a lot in their singles play especially in coming to the net.. Just ask this player on the left hand side of my post... ... <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

i don;t think they're quite at the same level as Anna and Elena, but some of them have definitely all the tools to grow into a good doubles players. I saw Dinara playing doubles and I liked her net game and with the help of her big serve she is able to set up some easy points.

I haven't seen other Russian girls playing doubles... I wish I could. Love doubles to watch and to play.
