Hailey Baptiste broke onto the tennis scene in 2017. While it seems like she has been on tour a long time, keep in mind that she was a fifteen-year-old at that time and she needed to find her game. I have seen her play live and on television. We can all be sideline coaches; however, you can spot potential in players. She has the potential to be ranked much higher; however, she has not put it all together yet.

How High Will Hailey Baptiste Rank?

Hailey Baptiste still has time; however, she needs to make a move soon if she is going to achieve her top tennis potential. I do not know her mindset or work ethic enough to say those may be the reasons she has not broken through. I do know that the player has to be willing to do what it takes to be their best on the court. Sometimes that can be extremely tough, but the rewards as we have seen from some of the players who made the commitment can be tremendous success as a tennis player.
