Amy is just inside the top 400 in the WTA rankings for the 1st time. I'm guessing this is the best crop we've ever had?
Cluskey and especially David O' Hare should absolutely fly up the rankings, both have almost no points to defend pre Wimbledon, so there's a good chance they could join James and Louk in the Quali rounds, if everyone stays fit and whatnot.
I read pre Aussie open that McGee now has a full time coach traveling with him for the 1st time and he's been working exceptionally hard on improving his endurance. So it'll be interesting to see if he can push anywhere near 150, now that he has a bit more financial and coaching stability. That kid he lost to is one of the best Juniors in the world, the Aussie youth structure is churning an unbelievable amount of talent at the minute.
Edit: I think we have a lad from Limerick called Bjorn Thompson playing in the AO juniors. I'll keep an eye out and see how he does.
