Paszek is pretty great already, and she’s 17 now with so many places to go. Taking out Golovin, Dementieva, Schiavone, and Schnyder at the slams in her first showing at them is pretty great. She’s one of my favorite players, easily, and the one I’m looking for to see the progression in ‘08.

Good luck Tamira!

Hi everyone, thank you all for your nice and valuable comments. All we can do now is wait for the 2008 season, and see if Paszek will continue her rapid rise. I strongly believe she’ll realize her potential and we won’t be disappointed.

Aaress, thank you for inviting me, I’ll be glad to work with you again.

It is surprising (in a good way) that such a young player has a strong mental game. Although, I do recall Maria S. and Serena W. having a much stronger mental game in their younger years as well. I wonder if it’s time on the tour or simply age (or a combination) that can cause a player’s mental game to waiver.

I’m very excited to see what Paszek does in 2008. She is a bright, young star on the tour.

Marija,

Excellent article – thank you for participating in our series!

Paszek has a bright future and I agree that she will be one of the rising stars to watch in 2008, especially at Grand Slams.

Another great write-up! I saw her beat Tati Golovin (she of the red pants) at Wimbledon this year, and there is no doubt she will continue to make her mark on the tour.

Others I have been watching over the years are
Soran Cirstea, Ioana Olaru, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova andCaroline Wozniacki!

I cant wait for the new season to start.

cheers

Jim

Right you are — Tamira will be dangerous to everyone next year. Consider this: after starting the year ranked #187, and barely 16 years old(!), she went 10-13 vs the world’s top 40 players. Really amazing! Looking for her to crack the top 20 in 2008. Go Tami!
