General tennis discussion

Please don't shoot the messenger (!) but there's a lot of discussion here about doubles, how much they should get paid, funded by the LTA etc. etc. So, instead of hijacking another thread, I've given John's new controversial opinion its own thread: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/tramlin...

2013 marks the 5th year since the 1990 boys "graduated". As someone who kind of specialises in the careers of tennis players born in 1990, one thing that I can tell you is that if you predicted back in 2008 that the only 1990 boys in the top 50 after 5 years would be Raonic, Janowicz and Pospisil...
