At the Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida, teenagers are trained to become professional tennis players. They are put into groups based on skill level, doesn't matter if they are male or female. But there's one thing that is quite noticeable, the top six groups of 8-10 players are exclusively male. The seventh group has one girl, who just turned pro. And she's playing against guys that are struggling to make division one college tennis.

The top three groups play against professionals regularly. When playing men, they almost always lose, but the top group, consisting of kids that are expected to eventually be high on the circuit, win their share of matches against the men.

Them playing professional women players, on the other hand, is another story.

The top group rarely plays any of the women, because they are simply too easy to beat. Sixteen and seventeen year olds beating professional women easily? Shocking? How's this:

A few months ago, Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon. The day after, she went back to Bollettieri to train. A few days later, she played a kid from Italy, fourteen year old prodigy Giaccimo Miccini. He split sets and she quit.
