The Russians have alot of nice, talented, likable and attractive tennis players on the WTA and ATP tours. But we now must consider the Russian juniors a part of the mix. In one of the best days in the history of Russian tennis, Russia won both the boys and girls junior team titles in Florida. The Russian boys defeated Argentina 2-0, to win the Sunshine Cup. And The Russian girls beat Croatia 2-0 to win the Connolly Continental Cup. I only hope that Russia surprising the tennis world, by winning both the boys and girls titles, is a portend of things to come in Russian tennis. I hope the Russian players do alot more winning in the future. I'm talking about the likes of Anna Kournikova, Elena Dementieva, Lina Krasnoroutskaya and Mikhail Youzhny. They better start winning soon. Because the best Russian junior boys and girls will be fast on their heels, ready to take their places, if they continue to struggle and dissapoint. Any way you slice it or topspin it. The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! Thank God!
P.S. - The Russian girls winning the Connolly Continental Cup was not a surprise. But the Russian boys winning the Sunshine Cup, was a surprise. A pleasant surprise!
P.P.S. - 2001 was a dissapointing year for Russian tennis. But it ends up on an upswing, with Russia winning both prestigious team titles. I hope this is a sign that Russian tennis will have an outstanding year in 2002. Udachi Russian tennis!
