    Iga, along with many of the women players have complained about the lighter balls they are forced to use at the open, and lead up tournaments. I think it's been showing.

    Gabriela Sabatini vs Jana Novotna:Who was the Greater Champion?.

    Gaby's tennis really started nosediving after she caught that virus at the AO that one year. Never really recovered IMO. That coupled with the ongoing mediterranian anemia (I forget the real name for the disorder) with which she dealt , and that heavy A$s racquet. (@ 14+ oz it was heavier...

    For those who think WTA is 1-dimensional

    Amen! She has very very stylish, smooth strokes and a good amount of power. She moves beautifully and is not afraid of the net. She also uses the short court nicely and seems to be thinking out there on the court. A nice breath of fresh air indeed.

    Should Mauresmo hang it up?

    If you think back, Mauresmo has been plagued by some injury or another for her entire pro career. I've always felt she rushed back from injury too soon, even in the early days. Now it seems to have caught up with her. Before she hangs it up, she should take a long break and let her body...

    Henin's big regret!

    Mauresmo had a pretty comfortable head to head advantage at the time, so I think it was the other way around. This was before fatigue and injuries finally caught up with Amelie.

    Prince rumors...

    Hey! The heaviest (14+oz PGO) graphite raq ever swung by a pro, male or female, was used by a GIRL named Sabatini. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Anyways, I love my Diablo.

    Worst player to win a Slam

    One slam at 19 years of age, three tier I titles beating the likes of Hingis, Pierce, Sabatini, Novotna. Majoli was a fine player done in by injuries and too much partying.

    Why the hell is there no small men on tour?

    Laver, Fed, and Sampras all celebrate bdays within days of each other. Pretty cool, as they're the three most touted as GOAT.

    Vaidisova knocks out Mauresmo.!

    Actually, Mauresmo should have won in straights!! She is such a choker. Completely choked away the 1st set! She gets so nervous, it's as if she's afraid to hit the d*mn ball. I'm officially over rooting for her.

    Question for You SemiWestern People

    Are you taking the ball too far out front for a SW grip? Western is contacted further out front. Maybe that's why the rollover.

    Mauresmo's grip

    Doesn't sound good. Didn't groin injuries end Rios' ATP career? She should take a long vacation and really let her body heal.

    Short/bulky arms?

    No way Chang is 5'9. I stood right next to him at an exhibition match in Myrtle Beach. I'm 5'9 he definitely seemed a couple of inches shorter.

    Uhlirach wins challenger... it's been a long time!

    Wasn't he involved in some kind of doping situation? I think he got cleared. Too bad if that situation messed with his head/game.
