Floridians Jennifer Capriati and Mary Joe Fernandez did it when they were 13 years old. Gabriela Sabatini did it at age 14, and Boca Raton's Madison Keys did it last year in Ponte Vedra Beach at age 14.
Now 14-year-old Deja Kitchiner, well aware when the young prodigies of women's tennis first made their mark, is ready to win her first pro-level match on the women's tour after turning 14 last month. The Citrus Springs (west of Orlando) resident will first test her game May 29-June 4, 2010, at the US Open National Playoffs Qualifying-Florida at the IMG Bollettieri Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
