only problem with obama is that he's a homosexual (He fellates reggie love, anderson cooper, larry sinclair, david corn, etc.), illegal, muslim coon, with a smelly, size 14 shoed, wife who, when she takes a dump, has to lower her turds by hand, break some in half, to flush them. Both must be arrested for treason. If even just by SS number reasons. They are pure darkie scum
If you are on TV and YouTube and people around the globe watch you. You've done something right. All of you who say he is a nobody, who the hell are you?
@AhDayDoughToon In answer to your question all the people who say he's a nobody are, themselves, nobody--which, if you examine it, means they are experts at being ... nobodys! (LOL)
Bollotieri is really quite perceptive. He has identified all the problems that we now see in Donald Young and it is sad to see that DY has failed to address them. He still has a bad habit of giving up, and his twitter makes for alarming reading. And what on earth is he doing being coached by his mother? I hope Donald watches this clip some time
Winning the Grand Slam more than once?? HAHAHA Too much hype for his own good. He's 21 and he hasnt and will not accomplish anything but be a journeyman hovering in the 100s. OVERRATED and OVER HYPED
If Donald Young trained like Herscal Walker he would eat up and spit Nadal out like I do my skoal chewing tobacco. Donald is soft, he rather just wear a two dollar queer earing than run flights of stadium stairs with weights on his back. do some work and stop acting like a spoiled brat.
@rlagywns He was never arrogant. People told him he could be that good and he believed them because he was probably the best junior in the world. He wasn't saying he WOULD be as good as Sampras. He was saying he HOPES to maybe be as good as him.
The problem for Donald is that he came in the tennis radar to young and had money shoved in his face to early...but it ain't late for him to make a name for himself; agassi followed a similar pattern!
I don't agree. Agassi didn't follow a similar patter cause he turned pro when he was 16 and he was no.4 in the world when he was 18 (moreover, he was the youngest to achieve 1 million dollar earnings with tournaments). On the contrary, Young is 21 and he is a fluke... that's it!
Completely different!
If you refer to the fact that Agassi needed time to win his first Slam, well that's a different fact that it's related with maturity and other complex external factors.
Donald, please get rid of your parents as your coach. None of the greats used their parents as their coach when they were on the men's tour. Connors used his mother when he was a teenager. But he ditched her once he got going on the tour. These next few years are critical for you and will determine if you are going to be a success.
So much for his "I would like to win all the Grandslams more than once" and the "surpass Pete Sampras." This guy can't get passed the first round of an ATP-level event. This guy is a worthless, untalented, all-talk trash!
He should put some panties on and join the WTA. I assure you, he will be number 1!
Donald Young won three US Open qualifying matches to make it into the tournament. He lost in the 1st round to Tommy Robredo in 4 sets. I would say that is a pretty decent tourney. He definitely needs to make changes to get ready for 2010.
Donald Young turned 20 in July 2009. As of now, August 14, 2009, he's ranked no. 176 in the world. His highest ranking so far has been no. 73 (April 2008). In his most recent main draw match, he lost 7-5, 6-2 to Lleyton Hewitt in the first round of the Washington tournament.
Your kidding about 23 minutes. It is impossible to play a 2 out 3 match in less than 40 minutes. Thanks for the update. Can you provide more information about the match.
Donald, please get rid of your parents as your coach. Rodney Harmon would be the perfect choice as your coach. He is an African American retired pro tennis player who currently directs the men's tennis division of the USTA. He could give you the focus and maturity you desperately need. And he is very respected.
I would like to see you try to play pro tennis like him and win national tournaments at the age of 12 like Donald. If you can do that then come back and start talking.
I am not disputing his tennis talent. Anyone who has watched Donald play understands his talent. But Donald needs to buy into what the USTA wants for him. Having his parents as his coach makes absolutely no sense. Anyone with common sense would understand that. I truly believe Donald will be a great pro player, but he needs to give his best.
@mrbobevans, I agree. I think his parents are stifling him. He should live at the NB complex in FL and train and hit everyday with Tommy Haas, Kei Nishikori, James Blake, Marty Fish, Taylor Dent, John Isner, Ryan Harrison, etc... His ranking has climbed of late by playing the challenger, futures circuits but cracking the top 100 and staying there will be tough. He needs to break completely away from his parents, maybe work with USTA coaches like José Higueras.
i don't understand how people can come on utube and talk smack about donald look at what great strokes he has regardless if he's 100 or 1 in the world.
I am not talking trash on Donald. I am just assessing what I have seen. IMHO, Donald suffers from his parents' over involvement. He needs more focus and drive which a coach other than his parents can provide. He has the talent to be really great, but as I have mentioned, tennis players do not have a very long career, unlike golf.
There are hundreds of players with great strokes, but never do anything. Look at Marcelo Rios, he was a junior champion and was supposed to have had more talent than Sampras or Agassi. He did well but did not meet expectations. Gasquet has better strokes than Donald, and what has he done? At the pro level, 50% of it is mental. Yes, Roger is super talented, but he has always been focused. Donald needs to get a real coach - its not very complicated.
There are a lot of players with beautiful strokes that have never made it to the very top. Look at Robredo and Gasquet. They have impeccable strokes but have never gotten to the very top, ie top 5 or 10 in the world. Conversely, look at Jim Courier, he had some of the ugliest strokes ever, but was able to win 4 grand slams. I truly believe that if he does not get rid of his parents as his coach, he will never crack the top 30. A lot of people feel this way too.
Donald, need to start to grow up. You need to do this on your own with a coach who is not your parents. Need to cut the cord from your parents, and be driven and focused to be the best. Look Sampras, Federer and Agassi cut that cord from the start. You still have time, but the window for a tennis player is very short - around 10-11 yrs. It is there, but time is of the essence.
Yeh, i think that Donald dad has done a poor job of telling him how tough it would be and how to stay grounded, it pales in comparison with nadals uncle who told Nadal that he should always remember that even though he can hit a ball over the net doesn't make him any better than anyone else.
Donald does not have any weapons. His serve is way too loopy. The best he can hope for is maybe top 30. He is now in the prove it stage of his career. He is a small baseline guy, ie Hewitt, and that does not spell a long career on the tour. His practice regimen needs improvement too. He did not practice as hard as the other players.
I met him in Louisville. He is a super nice guy. He is tiny for a tennis player - and will probably never get much bigger. I mean I was among the other players, particularly the East Europeans, and they are huge. Bolletieri is so full of crap. He only cares about Nick, and will dump Donald if he senses Donald being a lost cause.
donald young isn't arrogant and he's not getting extra attention becasue he's black. people find his demeanor rude because he carries himself well. but he's not winning. he is just confident in himself and he has so much potential. give him time. by 21 he should be good.
"win all the slams more than once" - it's kinda bad that the people around him were filling his head with stuff like that since such an early age. it's one thing to say your goal is to be the top tennis player in the world, but, in saying what young said, he kinda indicated that he felt that being the top player would just come naturally through his talent.
LOL American Tennis is going down and out and all u guys could do is give racist comments, (yawn) instead of supporting your new talents you become picky on someone whos only 18(especially towards african americans) You guys are pathetic and shallow....the whole worlds laughin at ya. France Spain Russia are going to overtake ya. DO yourselves a favour and stop being so arrogant because americas moving backwards faster than you know LFMAO!
not to brag but i think im better then him and im like 6' 145 not a big guy ether. I won few tourneys here and there but i bet if i got my name out there I be almost in his league. Just amazes me how hard it is to get notice and 1000000 of other people out in this world same athleticism can't make it in big league because of that.
i saw donald young play he was amazingly quick and really quick hands - he just needs to grow a little more and pack on a few pounds of muscle he is the future of tennis like it or not he is all (more or less) america's got so embrace him - if not you are against him and against america as for the gold tooth doo rag comment typical of envious white folks who try to besmirch someone of another race in order to feel better about yourself.
Dude..that's totally ignorant to say that tennis is the "domain" of blacks..it is NOT! I can definitely speak to that because first of all....I AM BLACK and I play the game! I played Div.1. Now, to get to the point I was trying to make, perhaps not clear enough for ya...yes, any "person of color" on the tour will get attention due to their skin-color due to the history of the game...THAT is FACT! Now... Young is a 'lil' punkish, but the boy is 18, and yes...thank
yes, and thank god he's not donning the fucking ugly-ass "Doo Rag" and other forms of stupidity erroneously misconstrued and being the garb of "black" people. Guess what, I was out there during Qualie week and I watched the boy as well...it was there I spoke to his coach...so don't try to tell me I don't know what day it is...Brother! LOL
xman so you play tennis good for you. you seem highly critical of donald young why are you not on the pro circuit and if you are you are way down the bottom perhaps not even good enough for the challenger level. do i dare say i sense some envy on your part?
I'm 36, did USTA Jr's, played Div.1 and also am African american. I care much less about Donald Young as the image he represents to a people and culture in peril. He's good natured and presents himself well, if you've ever heard him speak. I spoke with his coach one time and we both were relieved that he's not the type to don gold-teeth or wear shorts to his ankles or other unkempt customs. But his mother can be credited with that, she goes with him everywhere.
That is the problem with Donald. He is a nice kids. I have been to a challenger tourney where Donald played. His parents baby him and Donald suffers from it. Because of that, he doesn't have the toughness he desperately needs. They need pass the baton to a coach who will really work him. The talent is there, but the window for a tennis is only around 10-12 yrs. I am afraid Donald is getting lost in the shuffle. Time is so precious for him.
The odds of black juniors in black neighborhoods brings unparalleled challenges in terms of its worst influences...and being an athlete can exasberate those challenges, but I'm glad to see he's well balanced and wish him every success. I hope at some point in his young life he also invests in higher education to provide him with that intangible wealth...so few players address these aspects of their lives, this is what made Ashe so truly great!
The future of tennis, LOL! Get your head out of your ass. Young sucks and will never be a top 20 player let alone a star of mens tennis. Unfortunately the U.S does not have any future star at the moment, that is just the way it is. Querrey is the best up and coming American but even he isnt a future superstar of the game. If you dont embrace Young you are against America you say, LOL! More like you are in tune with reality.
just cause he is black he gets attention.... barely won his first match, and nadal, chang, sampras, bcker all good players had won slams at his age or younger... is he good? yes. but nothing special...
it's true...he does get attention because of his skin color, has a good game but nothing extrodinary yet...listen, at least he doesn't have gold teeth or that retarded Doo-Rag! LOL
gets attention cause of skin color?? then white boys if you got game step to the front of the line. exactly - only a few . tennis is now the domain of black folks - deal with it! to think there was a time when they said black people were not smart enough to play now we are the messian for american tennis - go figure.
I have no idea why you are bringing race into this but you are right that those ruling American tennis are black. That is because of the incredible Williams sisters, by far the best American players. It has nothing to do with Young who totally sucks and isnt in the top 100. The best American player is Roddick, the best American black player is Blake, the best young American is Querrey, and none of them are that good. American tennis is the Williams and will be dead when they are gone.
you guys are so dumb, he almost beat the number 5 ranked player last night. He had match point against Nikolay Davydenko... sure Davydenko broke it and came back to win, but i saw a lot of tallent coming from donald young
Young has no future. Yes, he's still growing, but his record is marginal at best. Yes, Agassi never won until he was older than young, but Hewitt and Blake had won triple what he had done at that age. Isner is the future of American tennis. Young will never crack top 10.
everyone gets better. sam querrey i think is going to make it to the top 50 same with donald young. I think they both have lots of talent. Young is going to get better, same with Querrey.
i doubt donald young will make it to the top 5, still he brings gangsta to tennis... if you look at his ATP record, he is at 0-11. and his height is 5'8? that is really short for a tennis player and if you look at all the tennis players in the top 20, the shortest one is davydenko the jack russel i think. but impossible is nothing right... who am i to talk shit though i dont have an ATP ranking yet. i will soon though.. im 18 i want to hit the ITF tournaments when im 20.
But isnt donald still a kid, isnt he still growing? guys can keep growin till they are 21. Also hes a natural lefty and apparently hes got great anticipation so it could get interesting when hes older, ive never seen him play except a few highlights, weak serve too so i guess i cant judge
Donald Young NO existe. Es un jugador completamente sobrevalorado que no tiene ningún futuro. Como mucho puede llegar a ser top100 por algún yiempo, nada mas.
Otro jugador de su generación, el argentino JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO, con solo 8 meses mas de edad que él, ya está a punto de ser top50.
im not saying the kid is going to suck but he needs to stop thinking he's all that i mean for one he's still doing it when he was 16 theres articles of him insulting kids on the junior circuit because they dont like him because hes the best player and him talking about how the great players now werent as good as he was when he was 16
I think you guys need to calm down with all the comments about dy being arrogant and cocky this video was taken when he was only 14 of course he is striving to be the best player he can and setting extremely high goals is just an offshoot of that
I used to hit with him a few times a week when he was still in Chicago. Donald's a good kid with a good family and is still only 17. He's got at least 2 years before he really needs to show something or risk being put into the "overrated" bin.
hes already been put in the ovverrated "bin" he is utter garbage. He will fade away in a couple of years, stick around challengers maybe from sponsorship, lose his sponsorship and hover around the top 200.
sounds like someone is jealous of a 17 year old. agassi had to go to the challenger circuit at one point when he should have been in his prime. donald is just getting started
im 16...but all im stating is the truth. But agassi had already done very well for himself when he dropped to challengers to gain confidence, he then won several slams, Young wont win one, Agassi had weapons, Young doesnt and that IS FACT.
the only FACT is that you're a never will be. agassi didn't start to win anything until he was older than donald is now. donald would beat you if he had to hit the ball with the grip.
who cares if hes embarrasing himself. point of all these messages is he is there and your not so dont talk shit becuase this guys gonna make a livnig out of tennis while u work the 9-5 job
Agassi had won several tournaments and done well at the Slams when he was Young's age, there's no point in denying that. He's an overrated player, deal with it. Just yesterday, he lost in the first round of qualifying at Indian Wells.
man hes way to arrogant he is so full of himself i mean look at federer hes won 10 grandslams about to be 11 and he still feels he has more to prove while donald young over here can win some titles on the junior ciruit and trys to act like hes done everything you possibly can i mean as good as he is people dont like cocky players
Still the best Jr. ever! He's only 17, men dont become men until 22-25yrs (mature) if their lucky in DNA. That's 5-8yrs from now. Just wait! Still the best Jr. ever!
Best junnior ever with a single junior Grand Slam under his belt? Nah, I don't think so. By the way, the likes of Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Roddick, Sampras et al. all flourished and even won GS in some cases prior to the age of 22. As I wrote, put up or shut up time will come soon.
I'm afraid he's going to end up being just another good, not extraordinary, player subject to immense pressure and who fails to live up to the expectations. He's been repeatedly thrashed in the senior tour and he's not that young (no pun intended) anymore; "put up or shut up time" will come very soon.
its quite obvious he would be more respected if he wasnt so cocky... and if his dad didn't say that he could surpass his idol pete sampras. also his goals as listed on junior tennis are to WIN EVERY GRAND SLAM TITLE AT LEAST TWICE SO THAT PEOPLE DONT THINK ITS A FLUKE. thats just ludicrous. junior tennis does not determine one's success in the atp pro.
This dumb brat should just work at McDonald. Poor sportsmanship and work ethics...it's funny he thinks he can surpass pistol

not to brag but i think im better then him and im like 6' 145 not a big guy ether. I won few tourneys here and there but i bet if i got my name out there I be almost in his league. Just amazes me how hard it is to get notice and 1000000 of other people out in this world same athleticism can't make it in big league because of that.

i saw donald young play he was amazingly quick and really quick hands - he just needs to grow a little more and pack on a few pounds of muscle he is the future of tennis like it or not he is all (more or less) america's got so embrace him - if not you are against him and against america as for the gold tooth doo rag comment typical of envious white folks who try to besmirch someone of another race in order to feel better about yourself.
hassan1814 4 years ago
Dude..that's totally ignorant to say that tennis is the "domain" of blacks..it is NOT! I can definitely speak to that because first of all....I AM BLACK and I play the game! I played Div.1. Now, to get to the point I was trying to make, perhaps not clear enough for ya...yes, any "person of color" on the tour will get attention due to their skin-color due to the history of the game...THAT is FACT! Now... Young is a 'lil' punkish, but the boy is 18, and yes...thank
xman4un 4 years ago
yes, and thank god he's not donning the fucking ugly-ass "Doo Rag" and other forms of stupidity erroneously misconstrued and being the garb of "black" people. Guess what, I was out there during Qualie week and I watched the boy as well...it was there I spoke to his coach...so don't try to tell me I don't know what day it is...Brother! LOL
xman4un 4 years ago
xman so you play tennis good for you. you seem highly critical of donald young why are you not on the pro circuit and if you are you are way down the bottom perhaps not even good enough for the challenger level. do i dare say i sense some envy on your part?
hassan1814 3 years ago
I'm 36, did USTA Jr's, played Div.1 and also am African american. I care much less about Donald Young as the image he represents to a people and culture in peril. He's good natured and presents himself well, if you've ever heard him speak. I spoke with his coach one time and we both were relieved that he's not the type to don gold-teeth or wear shorts to his ankles or other unkempt customs. But his mother can be credited with that, she goes with him everywhere.
xman4un 3 years ago
That is the problem with Donald. He is a nice kids. I have been to a challenger tourney where Donald played. His parents baby him and Donald suffers from it. Because of that, he doesn't have the toughness he desperately needs. They need pass the baton to a coach who will really work him. The talent is there, but the window for a tennis is only around 10-12 yrs. I am afraid Donald is getting lost in the shuffle. Time is so precious for him.
mrbobevans 2 years ago
The odds of black juniors in black neighborhoods brings unparalleled challenges in terms of its worst influences...and being an athlete can exasberate those challenges, but I'm glad to see he's well balanced and wish him every success. I hope at some point in his young life he also invests in higher education to provide him with that intangible wealth...so few players address these aspects of their lives, this is what made Ashe so truly great!
xman4un 3 years ago
The future of tennis, LOL! Get your head out of your ass. Young sucks and will never be a top 20 player let alone a star of mens tennis. Unfortunately the U.S does not have any future star at the moment, that is just the way it is. Querrey is the best up and coming American but even he isnt a future superstar of the game. If you dont embrace Young you are against America you say, LOL! More like you are in tune with reality.

gets attention cause of skin color?? then white boys if you got game step to the front of the line. exactly - only a few . tennis is now the domain of black folks - deal with it! to think there was a time when they said black people were not smart enough to play now we are the messian for american tennis - go figure.
hassan1814 4 years ago
I have no idea why you are bringing race into this but you are right that those ruling American tennis are black. That is because of the incredible Williams sisters, by far the best American players. It has nothing to do with Young who totally sucks and isnt in the top 100. The best American player is Roddick, the best American black player is Blake, the best young American is Querrey, and none of them are that good. American tennis is the Williams and will be dead when they are gone.

irishboy09 4 years ago
Young has no future. Yes, he's still growing, but his record is marginal at best. Yes, Agassi never won until he was older than young, but Hewitt and Blake had won triple what he had done at that age. Isner is the future of American tennis. Young will never crack top 10.

i doubt donald young will make it to the top 5, still he brings gangsta to tennis... if you look at his ATP record, he is at 0-11. and his height is 5'8? that is really short for a tennis player and if you look at all the tennis players in the top 20, the shortest one is davydenko the jack russel i think. but impossible is nothing right... who am i to talk shit though i dont have an ATP ranking yet. i will soon though.. im 18 i want to hit the ITF tournaments when im 20.
tenn1ss 4 years ago
But isnt donald still a kid, isnt he still growing? guys can keep growin till they are 21. Also hes a natural lefty and apparently hes got great anticipation so it could get interesting when hes older, ive never seen him play except a few highlights, weak serve too so i guess i cant judge

Donald Young NO existe. Es un jugador completamente sobrevalorado que no tiene ningún futuro. Como mucho puede llegar a ser top100 por algún yiempo, nada mas.
Otro jugador de su generación, el argentino JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO, con solo 8 meses mas de edad que él, ya está a punto de ser top50.
USA por el momento no tiene futuro en tenis.

im not saying the kid is going to suck but he needs to stop thinking he's all that i mean for one he's still doing it when he was 16 theres articles of him insulting kids on the junior circuit because they dont like him because hes the best player and him talking about how the great players now werent as good as he was when he was 16
mavsfanatic06 4 years ago
are you kidding?? donald can serve up to 128 MPH and it's a strong serve. so if you can hit it back his serve then i won't judge ur comment.

I used to hit with him a few times a week when he was still in Chicago. Donald's a good kid with a good family and is still only 17. He's got at least 2 years before he really needs to show something or risk being put into the "overrated" bin.
sfk324 4 years ago
hes already been put in the ovverrated "bin" he is utter garbage. He will fade away in a couple of years, stick around challengers maybe from sponsorship, lose his sponsorship and hover around the top 200.

sounds like someone is jealous of a 17 year old. agassi had to go to the challenger circuit at one point when he should have been in his prime. donald is just getting started
sfk324 4 years ago
im 16...but all im stating is the truth. But agassi had already done very well for himself when he dropped to challengers to gain confidence, he then won several slams, Young wont win one, Agassi had weapons, Young doesnt and that IS FACT.
SoooBlue 4 years ago
the only FACT is that you're a never will be. agassi didn't start to win anything until he was older than donald is now. donald would beat you if he had to hit the ball with the grip.

Agassi had won several tournaments and done well at the Slams when he was Young's age, there's no point in denying that. He's an overrated player, deal with it. Just yesterday, he lost in the first round of qualifying at Indian Wells.

man hes way to arrogant he is so full of himself i mean look at federer hes won 10 grandslams about to be 11 and he still feels he has more to prove while donald young over here can win some titles on the junior ciruit and trys to act like hes done everything you possibly can i mean as good as he is people dont like cocky players

Best junnior ever with a single junior Grand Slam under his belt? Nah, I don't think so. By the way, the likes of Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Roddick, Sampras et al. all flourished and even won GS in some cases prior to the age of 22. As I wrote, put up or shut up time will come soon.
zim83 4 years ago
He is not 17. I checked his birthdate on Wiki as 7/23/89
walliegirl2 3 years ago
I'm afraid he's going to end up being just another good, not extraordinary, player subject to immense pressure and who fails to live up to the expectations. He's been repeatedly thrashed in the senior tour and he's not that young (no pun intended) anymore; "put up or shut up time" will come very soon.
zim83 4 years ago
its quite obvious he would be more respected if he wasnt so cocky... and if his dad didn't say that he could surpass his idol pete sampras. also his goals as listed on junior tennis are to WIN EVERY GRAND SLAM TITLE AT LEAST TWICE SO THAT PEOPLE DONT THINK ITS A FLUKE. thats just ludicrous. junior tennis does not determine one's success in the atp pro.
