Is Roddick and Maria Sharapova still in the competition?
CR7fan said:
yes
Unfortunately. Sharapova's not bad to watch on mute though.CR7fan said:
Dementieva lost
Women's tennis would be shite without a few nice looking lasses with sexy legs.
Sherapova fits the bill. And for this reason gets my support.

Indian people are alright. I'm of Indian descent, though I don't feel remotely Indian.And yes, I watched Clijsters lose to Davenport. Quite tragic that both Clijsters and Lena Dementieva lost on the same day. Tragic that the latter lost at all.

Oi. Leave Kim alone.
I've met her a couple of times. A friend from uni is a friend of the family and she's lovely. She such a nice girl, really down to earth and friendly.

She's gone..was actually supporting the time-waster against Venus Williams but ah well..such is life.Nice tie-break on the second set though.
And Venus is Ugly.
Ern said:
Generally power is the determining factor.. honestly i still believe that had they continued to be serious abt tennis and not gotten distracted, serena in particular, would just be unstoppable. Even when you look at other grandslam winners since, sharapova,kutznetzova, or the no.1, davenport.. all of these hit the ball with tramedous power.. some more than others. Even dementiava, her serve is horrible, but shes got good groundstrokes.
But in general if you dont have the power.. and i dont mean serena williams power, but the ability to hit the bg deep shots, theres no chance.
As for sania, shes played the world no.5 twice now.. once she beat her, and this time at wimbledon, she really should have but her serve and inexperience let her down. And thats on two different surfaces. Shes the countries only real tennis star now that the bhupati/paes partnership is over.. and with the amount of media attention and hype shes getting im pretty confident of her breaking the top 20 in a couple of years. And then after that the ranking doesnt matter.. she just has to give her all in the grandslams.. bright future but still things to work on.

Are you saying that media attention and hype leads to players getting better?
I agree she has a bright future btw!
I'll agree. She's a much nicer person than Lleyton, if you ask me.Looking Busy said:

Haley, the artiste with an apparent gift for seeing ghosts
Power is a great determining factor, if you read what I said. But it's not the only thing. The Williams and Serena in particular has a lot power, but they're not very intelligent and have very little creativity or flair. What Zvonereva did when she beat Venus Williams at Roland Garros 2003 was purely to keep the ball in play at all costs - not attempt to hit any winners, but just to make Venus run a bit and slowing the pace of the match. By constantly returning Venus' strokes, it pissed Venus off and she got angry and annoyed and didn't know what to do. Justine Henin did the same to Serena Williams in the semi-final of that year's tournament.amolbhatia100 said:
At the time, the two dominated because their power was miles ahead of anyone else. Now that's not the case, really. Sharapova, for example has power, but is a much smarter player. Henin has also worked the power into her game and improved her service considerably, though it still leaves much to be desired, as her match against Eleni Danilidou showed.
That's exactly what I was saying. Her match against Myskina showed her shortcomings - she was quite unable to hold service, especially in the last set where it mattered most. She really needs to work on that service, because I honestly believe she has better groundstrokes than any of the other Russians.amolbhatia100 said:
But in general if you dont have the power.. and i dont mean serena williams power, but the ability to hit the bg deep shots, theres no chance.
She obviously has the talent. Wimbledon is for power hitters, so it's bound to be harder for her. Roland Garros, being on clay, requires a lot of skill and stamina (and hence is the most interesting to watch) - quite the opposite of Wimbledon. So I reckon Sania Mirza's more likely to do well at the French Open or perhaps on hard court tournaments. Performance at Wimbledon is possibly not the best judge for her talent, but that remains to be seen.amolbhatia100 said:
I fail to see the connection between getting media attention and performance on the court. There's loads to work on, but if she doesn't make it to the top 20, it's probably her fault.amolbhatia100 said:
Yes, but power generation to that extent can be worked on if the fundamentals are in place.amolbhatia100 said:

And the women's semi-final draw looks like this:
Lindsay Davenport USA (1)
v.
Amelie Mauresmo FRA (3)
Previous Round Next Round
Venus Williams USA (14)
v.
Maria Sharapova RUS (2)
I don't really like any of them, so don't know whom to support. The first one's American, the second looks like a bloke...the third is American and looks like a bloke, so I'll go with Sharapova.

I actually find the french open the most boring.. long long endless rallies, and the top players rarely get far. I wouldnt give a feck about tennis if it was all about corias and nadals running all day from side to side knocking it back and forth. Wimbledons for me is just right.Ern said:
The relation i was making was that here in india, cricket is the only sport thats popular.. football here is shite, and we havent had a good singles tennis player for decades.. With sania looking like she has the talent, and the media here going crazy over her, her every move will be scrutinised.. and i think that willl only spur her on. The whole country will be behind her. Its not like russia or america where you have tons of tennis stars. Almost everyone watched sanias 2nd round game, and almost everyone had suggestions to make. Im pretty confident of her breaking the top 20 or 30. And after that as i said, ranking is unimportant.. just get as far as you can in grandslams.

Is this really necessary?
And you actually quoted all of that in a post.Slabber said:

i know this post is a bit late, i just got back from england where i didnt have internet access.
but was anyone else gutted when ferrero lost to federer?
wouldve loved to see ferrero go on to win it out of everyone else that was left in the tornament at that stage. dont like federer much either. hoping hewitt goes on to win it, even if he is a bit of a punk.
