Donald Young beat Tomic today in Memphis
Amazing how dominant Young and Monfils were in the Juniors and yet they can barely make a dent at the pro level.

At least Monfils is ranked and was able to make deep rounds in some majors. Young outside of 1 run at the US Open, don't think I can recall him ever making it to the 2nd week of a major
Young's also 5'11, 160 pounds max (they can list him at whatever they want, but people who have seen him live know this). It's tough to win like that, and Young was never allowed to adapt his game to the pros since he got so many wild cards. He was a major failure for awhile, but if he can settle in to a ranking between 35 and 75 for several years (which seems possible), I don't see Young as a complete failure.
bouchard strikes me as another who may have bought into her own hype too much.
she's better than sloane stephens, but no by much.
bouchard's movement is about the same as ivanovic or sharapova (so not great), and she doesn't hit off the ground as hard as either of them. her serve is weak. i just don't buy into the hype around her.
of course, the wta is so weak right now, she might just have enough to win a major. who knows.
