It is very interesting to see how many of these players havent been able to progress into the senior WTA ranks (well top 20 in the world). However, from number 8 down.. most have moved onto the WTA Tour and had moderate success, in other words top 100 in the world.

Ivan Lendl does have enough to do (coaching Andy Murray) so he has decided to open his own International Junior Tennis Academy in Hilton Head Island, S.C. The spring class features students from Canada, New Zealand, Russia and the U.S.

“The enrollment influx from fall to spring is a tribute to the elite instruction our coaches provide students each day,” says Peter Orrell, President and CEO of Junior Sports Corporation, owner/operator of the Ivan Lendl IJTA. “Ivan Lendl IJTA offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for passionate junior tennis players to reach their ultimate potential.”

Ivan Lendl IJTA students (grades five through 12) will attend Heritage Academy as they see school as a vital piece of the puzzle.

p.s. In the photo it looks like Ivan has been eating a little too much over the Christmas period. Im hoping he starts to do some fitness training himself when coaching Andy

Here is a great old school video of Victoria Azarenka playing the under 14s Orange Bowl championships. Big temper and was very sad after the loss.

It seems like Victoria has performed a lot better in senior tennis compared to the player she lost to in this video: Olga Govortsova.
