      - In the last four Junior Grand Slams, only one US boy has made a quarterfinal: Stefan Kozlov -- nm - Dano Jul 8, 19:10 2
        
        I just realized Rhyne Williams is in the 120s. That Sandren joke isn't far from the truth. - David Jul 8, 19:24 1
        
        I don't see a potential Grand Slam tournament winner in this batch. Some solid careers, with a Top 20 ranking seems about the peak to me. - Dano Jul 8, 19:28
