Young debut cut short by Ginepri
Fifteen-year-old Donald Young's first appearance in an ATP tennis tournament pr
oved brief as the teenager went out in round one of the San Jose Open.
Young shot to the top of the junior world rankings when he won the boys' single
s at January's Australian Open.
But the wildcard entry was dispatched by fellow American Robby Ginepri in strai
ght sets, 6-2 6-2, in California.
Despite that he was happy with his Tour debut. "It was fun. I had my chances, b
ut they didn't come through," he said.
Young, who beat two players ranked in the top 200 when he was just 14, was only
2-1 down in the first set before losing 10 of the next 13 games.
And Ginepri - six years older than the youngest player to ever win a junior sla
m and top the global standings - admitted he was impressed.
"He's very talented," said Ginepri. "He's got a long future ahead of him.
"Being left-handed, he was very quick around the court.
"His serve is a little deceptive. He came into the net and volleyed better than
I thought."
