This is a comprehensive, balanced and nuanced story about 13-year-old Bernard Tomic of Australia.
Since seeing him win the Eddie Herr and Junior Orange Bowl 12s in 2004, I've followed his career very closely and have linked to several stories from Australia that accompanied his four straight wins in ITF junior events earlier this year. (Full disclosure--I've since become friends with his family and met his coach while in Australia). The depth and breadth of this feature sets it apart from the others I've read, and it is an interesting contrast to view Tomic's path with that of Sam Querrey, who won the Winnetka Challenger last Sunday and is now at 207 in the ATP rankings.
The Los Angeles Times explains the approach he and his family took in this article entitled U.S. Tennis Looks to a 6-foot-6 Answer.
