Not really sure she'll successfully defend both Madrid and Charleston.

She'll take a whiff at the Asian fall swing, if history serves right. Serena really doesn't value holding #1 nearly as much as nabbing more majors. She'll save herself for the big events + the ones she cares for. Exit the ones she doesn't really care about.

Yeah, all of this.

It's all to play for this autumn.

Okay. Who or what caused the Henin 2007 vs Serena 2012 thread to get deleted?

Just want to point out Venus is set to return to the top 20 next week, its been over 2 years

, a few months shy of 33, on a part time schedule.

The bitterness between Henin fans and Serena fans always causes problems when threads such as those are created. It's only a matter of time before they turn into a mudslinger as opposed to any semblance of rational discussion.

The even better news is that she is really not defending many points at all in the upcoming months, nor over the summer, so her ranking could really go up come time for the US Open/fall swing.

Just don't self destruct and the title will be Petra's.

I'd like to see her as high as possible.

Liscki just retired from the finals against Marina Erakovic after losing the first set 1-6. Erakovic was on fire and Sabine was very flat. The TD said during the trophy presentation that Sabine was fighting an illness all week. Sabine said that was sick the past few days and apologized to the crowd.

Go Erakovic and NZ! She completely deserved that, having lost 2 finals before and playing fantastically all week. She's achieved all this on her own, with no support from country.

Does anyone know why Wozniacki is playing Malaysia? Seems an odd decision. Final is on the Sunday then a long flight to Cali for IW on Monday. G

I think she wants to get a top 16 seeding in time for RG/Wimbledon, which should set her up for a top 10 finish post USO. Entirely possible provided she is able to play what shes scheduled.

JELENA WINS BOGOTA

Beats Ormachea 6/1 6/2
Her first title since Indian Wells 2010.

None of the players were ranked in the top 100 but 5 wins is 5 wins. She really looked like PEAKlena of 2008 at times this week.

I hopw she can gain some momentum from this. Like or dislike, Jankovic is good for the game and a fan favourite.

Top 32 players for IW have a bye into 2nd round, so her first round wont be until Wed/Thurs. I think Federer's first match was on a Friday the year before last.

I gave up trying to understand Woz. The only logic I can think of is:
a) she's looking for any title to feel good
b) she figures she has a 1st round bye at IW
c) appearance money
d) time to get a tan
e) all of the above

Anything for her is good at this point. I thought she was gonna lose against Knapp and would have probably picked Ormachea in the final..but Jelena proved me wrong. Now lets see if she can take this into the big clay titles after IW/Miami.

soyizgood · 02-24-2013, 09:18 AM

Good for JJ. Any title will do. Last year was just a mess for her.

Did Woz play Malaysia last year?

If not, any points makes her feel good at this point.

Doublebounce · 02-24-2013, 10:54 AM

Hopefully Jelena can get some confidence from this and start to enjoy herself more the court. Would love to see her make a decent run at IW and Miami and play some good tennis. The WTA needs it.

Lucky #13. Confidence is everything, she seems to lose confidence so quickly and once lost it's so elusive to get back. She makes it the finals of tournament last year, then loses to Melanie Oudin, one player who is even less confident than JJ, and Roberta Vinci (totally understandable). Bravo JJ, hope #14 is very soon.
