Comments on: For Julie Ditty, US Open Run Is A Sign Of Things To Come http://www.tennisgrandstand.com/archives/1730 Unique Tennis Perspectives Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:19:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: McCarton Ackerman http://www.tennisgrandstand.com/archives/1730/comment-page-1/#comment-1217 McCarton Ackerman Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:03:36 +0000 http://www.tennisgrandstand.com/?p=1730#comment-1217 Your post about Julie's brother is completely irrelavant to this, as is Julie's financial situation. The bottom line is that training at an elite level is expensive. The majority of top ranked tennis players--Pete Sampras, Lindsay Davenport, and Roger Federer to name a few, come from wealthy families. The majority of players you see at the challenger and satellite levels also come from the same background, without anywhere near the same results. A tennis career cannot be "bought," as you say. I know Julie and her father personally and I can honestly say that they are two of the nicest, grounded and humble people you could ever hope to come across. And as far as your comment about Julie's career going "down the hill," she just helped the US clinch their tie against Argentina yesterday by winning the deciding match.

So what if her mummy and daddy bought her and her brother everything? So what if her brother was accused of homosexual rape? It's about the tennis. How she got there, I will read that in her biography sooner or later. What her brother does is completely irrelevant to tennis. And besides if you as a parent can afford this for your children then why not? Honestly you don't get to be a pro even if you have so much cash. It takes a lot more to be a professional tennis player. Sounds like someone is a little spiteful here. So what if her mummy and daddy bought her and her brother everything?
