That argument for Venus is the one I was making for Serena, so I hear you on that. I just think that Venus still has more dominance in her, but she really hasn't been there for years. I keep hoping though!vanhttp://tennistalkanyone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-11609060995188758142008-10-15T20:43:00.000-04:002008-10-15T20:43:00.000-04:00I love this post Van, because for those of us who loooove tennis, these women (among a few lessers) do indeed make you CRAZY!! Mauresmo is at the top of my list for craziness. Entirely too much promise to just barely be in the game at this point.<BR/><BR/>The only one on your list that doesn't make me too crazy is Venus Williams. Whatever it is that Venus could do more of, or do better, she, like her sister have left the rest of the ladies in the dust stat wise. So, each time she almost drives me crazy, I go to record and hold it up against the others...no contest.<BR/><BR/>Most of these other ladies have been flashes in the pan over a short period; and extremely rare is the one that even holds a grand slam title.Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00280487267612661372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-69727414064403446302008-10-15T18:15:00.000-04:002008-10-15T18:15:00.000-04:00Hey Jason. Part of the criteria I was using was looking at someone who has a consistent pattern of being inconsistent: at least a couple of years. I think she'll get out of her slump, but you're right: Her results since the French are enough to drive someone crazy!vanhttp://tennistalkanyone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-68364819617467545812008-10-15T17:12:00.000-04:002008-10-15T17:12:00.000-04:00Ana Ivanovic? She has been ridiculous since the French, and not at all in a good way. Maybe no one really roots for her, so she doesn't make the list.Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13668125632477346753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-44452507289993232312008-10-15T17:11:00.000-04:002008-10-15T17:11:00.000-04:00• All right, Brian, I'll give you Serena, but James Blake stays on the men's list! : )<BR/><BR/>• Hey Yogahz, how are you? I thought about Petrova, but I felt like her slump was due to her coming back from her injury too soon. It looks like she's having some decent results again, though. <BR/><BR/>• Hey Aaress, thanks!vanhttp://tennistalkanyone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-82584790857808102152008-10-15T14:04:00.000-04:002008-10-15T14:04:00.000-04:00Excellent list, Van!<BR/><BR/>I borrowed your idea and wrote a similar post at On the Baseline! :)<BR/><BR/>http://www.onthebaseline.com/2008/10/15/the-most-frustrating-players-in-womens-tennis/<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work!Aaresshttp://onthebaseline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-60196877392994490902008-10-15T10:31:00.000-04:002008-10-15T10:31:00.000-04:00I'd add Nadia Petrova. <BR/><BR/>Two years ago when she had that run during the clay court season I thought she would be doing what Dinara Safina did this year.yogahzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13437955751421136051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-64838546881579726572008-10-15T00:16:00.000-04:002008-10-15T00:16:00.000-04:00serena is it 8 majors? <BR/>i was hoping for a chance at graf's 22 maybe courts 24 dude best serve and best return rooled into one player her stats just dont show how good she isbriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-13790202903930040842008-10-15T00:04:00.000-04:002008-10-15T00:04:00.000-04:00• Hey Topspin! I was referring to you when I said she has the fans on a rollercoaster. One day she'll come through for you. She has to, right?<BR/><BR/>• Hey Brian. I was going to put Serena on there, she should dominate, after all. But man, she has a career Slam! What more do we want of her? I guess the Grand Slam would be good...vanhttp://tennistalkanyone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-48881804136898931352008-10-14T23:39:00.000-04:002008-10-14T23:39:00.000-04:00serena best female player ever but dose not have the stats to back it upbriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876875805244297602.post-54326904959185968642008-10-14T20:31:00.000-04:002008-10-14T20:31:00.000-04:00All agreed!
