Henin - off court reconciliation was lovely next to her play on the court.
Kuznetsova - not such a deserved World no. 2.
Jankovic - plays too much, play what matters.
Ivanovic - you're cute and all, but get some nerve and then we'll talk.
Sharapova - YEC match proves she deserves to be around (AO notwithstanding) :rolleyes:
Chakvetadze - a Russian that needs to prove she deserves to be here.
Serena - play more!!
Venus - you too!!
Hantuchova - welcome back!!
Bartoli - i doubt we'll be seeing the likes of you at the year end 08.

honourable mention...world no. 19
Martina Hingis. what a lousy end to my season :( :( :( :( :(

i think thats a little unfair. If i remember, it was her first round match at the Oz where she could hardly breathe due to heat exhaustion, and pulled off one of the bravest wins i have ever seen. I really dont know how she won that match. Its a testament to her courage and determination that she even reached the final, most players would have retired in that first round

for the AO, i just mean those that slag her for the violation perpetrated upon her by serena in that final :rolleyes:

sharapova's fight is bang on :ok:

I remember i was out clubbing when that match was on, and i couldnt believe the score when i got in, i thought someone had spiked my drink :wacko: :wacko: Im glad Masha is back on form, i think next years AO should be the best Slam weve had since Wimbledon 2005 :ok:

You are forgetting of course that Serena thrashed her again at Miami... :ok:

Ivanovic thrashed her at the French Open and Venus at Wimbledon, so to say that the Oz Open was just a mere one off is not strictly correct... :shrug:
