Russian tennis player Yaroslav Demin’s leadership in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) youth rankings is a good start, but does not guarantee the player’s success at adult level, said Alexei Selivanenko, vice president of the FTR, to Match. TV.
Earlier, Demin topped the ITF Junior Rankings. Previously, the Russian was beaten by Britain’s Henry Searle in the final of the Wimbledon youth tournament.
– The first row of the World Junior Ranking is of course an important event. But from him to success as an adult, there is a long way to go, consisting of hard work and hard work through many tournaments. The transition to adult tennis is a very difficult thing, which not all the winners of young Wimbledon and the first racket in the youth rankings have passed. It’s a good start, but it’s only the beginning of this difficult journey.
At the same time, it should be noted that anyone who reaches the junior Wimbledon final has a chance to become an excellent tennis player at the adult level. However, this opportunity has yet to be seized. Some have used it, but some have not. Someone went to study, somewhere else, and someone really became a star, a good player. It’s a backlog, but not a guarantee. The future will tell. The backlog is excellent. This is the start of a long journey,” Selivanenko told .
