Grand Prix was the old state juniors circuit. I am way before your time if you played with Ginepri. The big difference was that LSU was super strong in NCAA tennis back then. At least half the team was Borg look-alikes from Sweden. I went to the walk on tryouts and the guy who was #1 on the state had just finished trying out and was invited to the practice squad. I skipped the tryout and went to Murphy's. Haha.

My read of the OP was that we were talking about the top women pros and not just someone on the Tour. Never the less, I stand by my experience. They really are better than you think.

yea i kinda changed it to just a woman on tour. plenty of ranked women arent that big and arent hitting the serve 120mph+.

I practiced against a woman who made a couple of small pro tourneys and was 8 years removed. At 16, I was lucky to get 2 games.


big difference between a college player and a top 6-8 ranked 16 yr old in LA.
