Go back over the last 20 years and tell me which junior champions became grand slam champions - the record is horrible. Does that mean they shouldnt start playing tennis till they are 18. If that was the case would they become world no 1's? Jason Stoltenberg, Todd Woodbridge, Mark Kratzmann, Todd Reid were all junior grand slam champions yet none of them won a senior grand slam. There were many of their opponents in junior days who couldnt get near them, yet went on to win senior grand slams and become world no 1's.
