Obviously, Justine Henin, despite her current slump, is a major--if not the major--contender to win the 2008 French Open. After watching Serena Williams play in Charleston, I now believe that she, too, is a serious contender for the title.
Who else could win? Former finalists Svetlana Kuznetsova, Elena Dementieva or Ana Ivanovic? Jelena Jankovic with her improved serve? The resurgent Vera Zvonareva?
Anyone else?
(whispering)Amelie......Amelie.......Amelie......sigh....wishful thinking.....wish wish wish.....:)
ReplyDeleteDon't I wish? But this year, I'm just hoping she has a reasonable finish in Paris.
ReplyDeletemaria sharapova can win the RG tournament i think. Ana Ivanovic would be able to reach the finals?
ReplyDeleteI don't think Maria can. I still think Cibulkova may have won Amelia Island if she hadn't been injured in the final--her movement was severely hampered. And Maria's Charleston performance, though good, was not great. She had trouble dominating clay-courter Perebynis, and Serena polished her off in the third set.
ReplyDeleteIvanovic has reached the final before and could again. But I hope not.
Well the RG courts are a little faster than normal clay which gives Maria an advantage.
ReplyDeleteCibulkova....could she pull a Tsonga this year? I hope so!!
Whatever happened to Vaidisova ? She is badly off form.
I heard the Paris courts were a bit faster, too, but I bet they're still slower than the green clay in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThe "Tsonga" could be pulled by Cibulkova or Cornet. As for Vaidisova, Manfred, she has really been under the radar lately. At her best, I think she's mentally weak. I want to see what Zvonareva does--she is so getting back into form.
Vera is looking good. i think she will surprise everyone.
