To change the rule for one Capriati????? Why not change it for Gauff?One of the rare occasions where Roger is blatantly wrong. Mister Federer: We don't need another Capriati flameout and easy for you to say this because at that time you were making first big moves at GS Level.
Nobody cares about junior tournaments. If you are good enough to play on the big stage even with 12 - why not?Gauff can play as many junior tournaments as she wants...
After Capriati if I am right...Was the age limit in place before or after Capriati/Sharapova??
And then they flame out when they're 19 or 20.Nobody cares about junior tournaments. If you are good enough to play on the big stage even with 12 - why not?
The only Reason he now came out of the woodwork criticizing that Rule as I said below is because Gauff is managed by Team8 and his longtime Agent Tony Godsick.What a surprise. So transparent from Federer. How greedy one can be ? He's already rich and he pushed for a new rules cause he's making money on her back. Disgusting. He never cared about that rule for the last 20 years.
We'll see what kind of money she'll bring when her body is done by the age of 19, you know. Like Robson, Szavay, Konjuh, Vaidisova, Paszek, Golovin and all. All those young hopes that proved to last in time. Or the already forgotten CC Bellis in recent times.
Gosh, is Coco doing that?He shows once again he knows what he's talking about.
If 15 is enough to have sex and get drunk, it probably is enough to play a sport. I'm tired of the AER and the overprotecting of alleged fragile and helpless "children". One thing is abusing them and a very different one is letting them live the lives they want to.
