Girls: J200 Cape Town, South Africa, hard (Week 38)


The second Cape Town J200 sees Megan Knight in the same position in the draw, but the top two seeds have swapped places, so she won't have Jahnie Van Zyl to worry about (who as well as beating Megan only lost a maximum of 4 games in any match en route to the title)

R1 (L32)

Meri Sandenbergh (RSA) v (7) Megan Knight

(8) Alicia Taylor (RSA) v Hermione Korpanec Davies

So if I have this right that's Hermione in South Africa and Ophelia in Japan this week, the amount of money the parents are spending on air travel alone for their children must be astronomical. And they'll probably have the brother playing a J30 in Timbuktu soon enough.

Each child has their own trainer, I understand, and their own extensive agenda 

I don't believe air miles and eco considerations are an issue either

But there are quite a few very wealthy families in tennis, though, they're not the only ones

 I can't think of any that have so many siblings playing across the world at the same time though. Which of them (if any) is likeliest to have a decent pro career?

 I'm not sure the object is to have a pro career smile
