The congressional hearings and a federal probe led AIG tocut executives' pay

Although she has yet to match this since, she has made a promising start to the main WTA tour, and in drifting away from the junior realm has showed great maturity and a few polished performances that warrant a reputation that will cause others to take note. Her progress has been closely monitored by the British press since that triumph and she has followed Laura Robson into the main tour with a couple of credible victories giving food for thought for others.As it stands Watson seems more capable of producing the results on the main WTA tour, and will look with her fellow compatriot to improve her rankings as well as look towards possible triumphs at the London Olympics in 2012. With both Robson and Watson now emerging on the circuit they can also look to inspire the older British players who will no doubt now have to fend off the rising rankings of both former junior players. This is especially when these former junior players based on form look like eclipsing the previous efforts by the likes of Baltacha and Keothavong.

They stand a great chance of becoming seeded players, and possible grand slam winners; something that has been forgotten by the British media in the last decade. We obviously must not get ahead of ourselves of expectations of ranking tournament wins but the LTA seems to have produced successful substance in both players, which should and could translate into similar successes on the world arena. All five of the aforementioned players appear to have 2010 in their grasps, with the availability to shine and confirm the revolution of the Lawn Tennis Associations enhanced direction.What we are looking for as optimistic fans and spectators is various tournament wins, accompanying a Grand Slam where all competitors progress confidently and inspirationally, as opposed to falling all too predictably at the first hurdle.The quintet are looking able to reignite British interest in the sport of womens tennis, providing they can continue the awesome sequence of results that have benefited each player So 2010 will be a very intriguing season indeed.
