Liezel Huber has been talking out to CNN about the state of South African tennis. Huber has been a top doubles player in the world for many years and she was basically forced to move to the USA from South Africa to improve her game at the age of 15.

That’s kind of what hurts the most,” she said. “When Wes Moodie and I won Wimbledon doubles titles in 2005, I actually thought it would change tennis in South Africa. Nothing changed.
