[Moderator]: Tracy, what are your initial thoughts on seeing Marcelo Ríos’ ⁤daughter displaying⁤ such talent at ⁣such a young age?

Tracy ⁣Austin: It’s truly remarkable. ‍While genetics certainly play a role,⁢ Linda’s progress in⁤ such a short time speaks volumes ‌about her⁤ dedication and natural ability.Her smooth strokes and power remind me ​of Coco‌ Gauff’s early ‍days.

[Moderator]: Do you think having a parent who’s been​ at the ⁤pinnacle of the sport gives a child an certain advantage?

Tracy Austin: That’s a valid ​concern. It’s crucial for Marcelo to ensure Linda doesn’t feel​ the‌ weight of living up to his legacy. Encouragement and unwavering support are paramount, letting her develop her own ⁤passion for the game.

[Moderator]: ​ Speaking of ​developing passion, do you think Linda choosing tennis⁢ was inevitable, given her father’s career?

Tracy Austin: It’s hard to say. Maybe she would’ve gravitated towards tennis irrespective, or maybe she’d have found another ‌passion. The vital thing is⁢ that she ⁢seems to genuinely enjoy it.

[Moderator]: Tracy, looking at Coco Gauff’s trajectory, it’s⁤ clear that young⁣ prodigies can make an immediate ‌impact. ‍ Do ⁤you see the potential for Linda to follow a ⁢similar path?

Tracy ​Austin: It’s exciting to think about, isn’t‌ it? But we have to remember that every athlete’s ⁤journey is unique. Linda’s progress at this stage is extraordinary, but there’s a long road ahead. Reaching the top requires ⁣unwavering dedication, resilience, and a bit of luck.

[Moderator]: Final thoughts for our readers, Tracy?
