Because she can't serve to save her life? The ONE shot where you have 100% control over, and she's terrible at it.
Old timer hold serves like they're nothing, haha.

Ana has one more Slam than Pam. And that's why Pam is bitter.

Dont be silly; Shriver has praised players such as Novotna and Sabatini--both having one more major than the singles major-free Shriver.
Ivanovic was more hype than ability, hence her rapid decline after her majors title.

Maybe not, but Pam was married to a former James Bond: George Lazenby.

Shriver enjoys the ultimate hype. Being a HOF'er without a single Slam title.

Ha ha...not quite! She was married to George Lazenby...James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". (1969)
Pam is just jealous of Ana's beautiful brunette hair...unlike her graying brillo pad.

What did she say exactly? That she can't hold her serve like 99% of female tennis players?
He's got to be 20 years older than her, easy.

Didnt James Blake yell at her for being too loud during points? if my memory serves me correctly, she made it sound like she was above the etiquette.
Yes, Shriver was very loud.
Shriver's analysis of Blake included a mention that she thought Blake would have been eager for Wimbledon since he had been sidelined with a knee injury. "You might not be match-tough," Shriver said. "You might miss a lot of shots but mentally you're not burned out."
The network commentators sit outside, perched above the court, and Blake could hear her.
"Amazing you used to play tennis," Blake yelled. "I can still hear you." Shriver responded by saying on the air, "James just yelled at me. I'm way above the court but evidently he can hear me. He's got rabbit ears."
Blake, 30, heard that too and his next response included an obscenity. Shriver wouldn't be stopped though. "There he is, talking again," she said.
After his loss, a despondent Blake said his knee hurts and he's not sure how long he wants to play tennis in this shape.
"You know, it's almost embarrassing to go out and play a Grand Slam match like that," he said. "The knee is not great. I just took 10 weeks off. I thought that was going to do it and be the answer. The reason I wanted to take time off is I didn't want to continue playing in pain."
Shriver said she regretted engaging in any conversation with Blake after she realized she could be overheard.
"I should never have said a word to him once I realized he could hear me," Shriver said. "He was already down a set and a break and once I realized I could be heard, I've got to step back, talk quieter. That's the only thing I regret."
This is the first year ESPN has televised Court 5 and the broadcast position was unfamiliar to Shriver.
"And I helped make what happened into an exchange," she told The Times. "I shouldn't have."

Uh, Shriver has 22 major titles - yes all of them are in doubles but they count. 21 women's doubles and 1 mixed.
You can't compare winning doubles to singles. Totally different game.

So you're saying that HoFers should only be singles players then, yes?
So the Bryan brothers, among other great doubles teams, shouldn't be included in the HoF then?
Shriver won a Calendar Grand Slam in doubles with Navratilova in '84 - a HoF worthy achievment IMHO.

cos Ivanovic is prettyier. Girls have all these weird battles with each other. :lol:
To each his own, but unlike some people, who might consider pushing away from the buffet table a little earlier(Petra, the recently retired Bartoli, and even Aza come to mind), the two players mentioned both bring up images of women kneeling face first over toilets, which is no laughing matter.

Some of you really buy into that "jealousy" nonsense. You have to remember that some do not place value on questionable concepts about appearance--whether one is considered "attractive" or "unattractive." Somehow, you cannot grasp that Shriver may honestly think Ivanovic is not that talented.

Ivanovic has a singles major, 3x as many appearances in major finals, AND is night and day hotter than Shriver. Lulz at Shriver not being jealous.
