11 teens in TOP 100 currently,

Thanks, very interesting (I have put both of your lists together)

I guess you can say that the oldies are better than the youngsters, huh?

actually some of the youngesters dont have up to 17 tournaments
like Maria S doesnt have 17 tournaments in a yr,
i think the youngsters this time around got smarter,
Marion was suspected for overplaying, but she stopped,
Vera was too, but she got injured, maybe its for the better,
she did reach QF in Toronto....
but the oldies and youngsters this time around just arent as impressive
as the era where Martina N/Steffi at their 30's or Martina Hingis at her teens, understood though.

[Glenn]

I don't think Sprem is more underhyped than Mikaelian...

 

[tennis_guy]

well, MGM did get a title at 17, or 16...
that i believe had at least hyped her somewhat,
plus, she IS from Switzerland.....
by the way, are Swiss girls always chubby?..

 

[Dava]

I would say that Angie is the leat hyped of them.
