Is his son not good enough to make it on his own?

I don't follow the juniors I think it's just a fun thing they're doing I'm sure his son wants a singles career too.

Can't wait to go to Melbourne for Aus Open play some cash games at the casino too

Is his son not good enough to make it on his own?

Cruz is the highest ranked 16yr old in the world.

But don’t get the doubles outside of his dad trying to get his son as much games with pro players as possible
