It was that case which prompted Adelaide coach Todd Langman’s frustration at one of his players, 18-year-old Sarah Mildren, a former top-100 junior, having to pay to use an undercover court. Langman, who agrees with Cash’s concerns about Australian tennis, coached Thanasi Kokkinakis from a junior to the professional tour, and has three other young players heading on a European trip with TA this month. “Not everyone can use the undercover courts, but she definitely should have been, in my mind, one who ticks the boxes [with her achievements],” Langman told this masthead. “I want as many Australians in the top 100, and top 10, as we can, but I’d like that to be home-grown talent. I believe that we’ve got the coaches, and clearly the funds, to be able to support these athletes, but we’ve got so many handcuffs. We don’t need to make it harder than what it is.”
