one of the remarkable aspects of TMF’s reign atop the tennis rankings is how he retains respect, admiration, and even friendship of other players on the ATP tour, a marked contrast to the regimes of previous world no. 1s, whose climbs to the top were characterized by histrionics, antagonism, mistrust, alienation, poor relations with other top players, or, even with the greatest of champions, utter joylessness. “At a moment when professional athletes across the board are presumed to be frauds, the current generation of ATP tour players, taking their lead from Federer, has elevated tennis with stylish play and gentlemanly behavior.

Garvin, Chairman of the Board and President, USTA. “Competition is an important element of learning and growing the game, and now all children 10 and under will have the proper platform with which to compete.” 10 and Under Tennis is designed around the same concepts as Little League Baseball and other youth sports such as soccer and basketball, all of which use equipment and field/court sizes scaled to the size of young children. The scaled-down equipment and smaller playing fields allow kids to achieve success the first time out—and sustain that success as they continue develop and refine their skills.

En 2002, Les frères Romain ont élaboré une méthode , pour former des jeunes champions de tennis.
