Athlete's Strategic Summary

• The Big Gap: Notice that winning a J500 (the highest non-Slam junior event) gives you 500 points, but a single Semi-Final at a Grand Slam (490 points) is almost equal in value. This is why targeting higher-tier tournaments, even if the draw is tougher, is often better for your ranking.
