Title: Dream quarter-final line-up
Description: just for fun
MrInvisible - June 21, 2007 12:27 PM (GMT)
In advance of the real draw coming out tomorrow, what line-up would you like for quarter-finals onwards - be as biased as you want - thats the whole idea!
How about:
Henin v Venus
Sharapova v Jankovic
Serena v Kuznetsova
Mauresmo v Ivanovic
semi-finals:
Henin v Sharapova
Serena v Mauresmo
And as I loved last year's final so much, how about Mauresmo v Henin again, although with the diminutive Belgian getting her revenge?

I like these type of threads :D
Ok,
Henin V Serena - Henin gave Serena a clay court spanking at the FO, I'd like to see this reversed and Serena to power her way through the Belgian.
Ivanovic V Jankovic - Who's the Super Serb? I think Jankovic would walk away with the honour..
Hingis V Mauresmo - Mo Mo has beaten Hingis enough since her return, so it would be good to see the reverse happen ehre, as much as I like Mo Mo
Venus V Sharapova - A classic slugfest would be in order here like the first set of their 2005 semi - Grunts and screeches aplenty with Sharapova screaming victory at the end.
Semi's
Serena V Jankovic - Jankovic would put up a good showing and work Serena around the court but Serena's power would prove overwhelming
Hingis v Sharapova - My two faves but would have to root for Hingis remembering the touch and feel she has for the game and running Maria ragged and dampening the Sharapova power with some deft drop shots and lobs.
Final
Serena V Hingis - What a classic match up this would be, Serena's power blasting Martina around the court but Martina's defense and anticipation and shot-making eventually taking control of the match in a tight 3rd set for Martina to lift the title once again! :D
I can dream...

Petrova vs Henin - I didnt want Henin to get even this far, but her getting trounced by Nadia would be nice for me
Serena vsCraybas - double bagel for Serena
Venus vs Jankovic - Venus to win in straight sets for once
Sharapova vs Ivanovic - Masha to show she is still top boss out of the glamour girls
semis
Petrova vs Sharapova
Venus vs Serena
a Russian battle and everyones favourite family grudge match
Petrova vs Venus-i would be torn between Nadia getting her much deserved first slam title and proving me right, and Venus drawing level again with Justine

It is unlikely that Nadia will win WImbledon as her first slam. US Open or the AusOpen favours her. If she is in the finals to face Venus, then no question who the winner will be.

yes, but this thread is about who we WANT to win, not who WILL win, and i would love Nadia to win this
SerenaW19 - June 21, 2007 04:38 PM (GMT)
Mine would be
Venus beats Sharapova
Hingis beats Kuzzy
Justine beats Mauresmo
Serena beats Jankovic
SF:
Venus beats Hingis
Serena beats Justine
Final:
Serena beats Venus
Actually a lot of the match ups I want have already happened one or twice :D

Hingis v Venus
Their long-standing rivalry continues!
Jankovic v Sharapova
Re-run of DFS final, good contrast of style (i.e. one can serve, the other can't, one can volley, the other can't)
Serena v Henin
Ditto re: RG, see how it pans out on a different surface..
Hantuchova v Mauresmo
Two smart players trying to outwit each other with slice and angles, and excellent netplay :)
