Genie is 23.  Many tennis players went through a few disappointing years and then matured into better players.  She will not dominate as some of us had hoped just 2 years ago because she has no one overwhelming weapon.  But Bouchard is certainly not dead.

Milos has that one overwhelming weapon - the best serve in tennis when he is on his game and unhurt.  As well, he has improved his mobility and net play in the past 18 months and at 26 has the potential to be a top 5 player and win a major if he can stay healthy.  He is hardly dying but simply ailing with a good chance to recover.

Its too soon by a couple of years to predict how well the kid will do but yes, Denis is alive and lively.  I taped the match last night but stayed up to watch it until it finished at midnight.  There is no question Denis is playing exciting tennis, has great foot speed and court coverage, has an impressive tennis IQ for an 18 year old, is fearless and has plenty of power when he needs it.   Here's hoping!
