After taking both the Australian Open Junior Girls singles and doubles titles, the 15 year old from Stockbridge couldn't wait to get back home and spend everyday with her friends at Charles R. Drew High School in Riverdale.

For the past two years, Townsend has lived and trained at the USTA's Academy in Florida, where her schoolwork is done on a computer. "I really miss seeing every one", says Taylor. "I also get to see my Dad (school principal) in action".
