My friend Kamakshi Tandon at the indispensable tennis news website Court Coverage ferreted out this story from Denmark about the suddenly red-hot Caroline Wozniacki. The 2005 Orange Bowl Champion and finalist at the Australian Junior Open broke out of junior tennis obscurity by reaching the quarterfinals at the WTA Memphis tour stop last week. Anyone who has ever had a short conversation with the gracious and outgoing fifteen-year-old is hoping that her journey to tennis stardom is swift and smooth.

This quote from her mother is so perfect it's no wonder the reporter selected it as an appropriate ending. All tennis parents should sound so sensible when asked about their children.

'Caroline is a happy girl. She's a very positive person. That helps her,' said mother Anna. 'Not everybody has such a positive attitude as she does. But she should never feel pressure. She needs to pressure herself, but we need to help her find her limit. It needs to be both fun and serious otherwise it can't be done. She's still a child.'
