Too bad Dementieva cannot win a single slam after more than a decade on tour.

So true, events like this are nice but they are small potatoes when after so long you havent won anything that really matters even once.

flame, flame, flame
shame, shame, shame

how embarrassing to hate so much that you have to go around raining on the parade of a winner and flaming to derail her celebration.

sad ..... except youre the one who has to feel the hate .... guess hate is its own reward! :p

too bad about you two!

It is a fact she cannot win slams. 11 years as a pro and failed slam finals do not lie, so what is your issue with that fact?
 
I hope Elena wins the title!


Not seen him. Who is he? Sig other? Brother? New coach?

.

Her boyfriend...hockey player...they've been together a long time. It was cute, though, when they would show him look so happy after she won a point/set/match.
 
Kleybanova is playing like a grinding pusher. Love her hustle, but if Sharapova wasn't such a unforced error machine Kleybanova would be slaughtered.
 
3 straight DF's for Kleybanova!!! What is wrong with you? Yet it's deuce...figures...

Sharapova is playing a like a Venus-wannabe... on Venus' OFF-mode

Sharapova breaks and serves 2-3.

Kleybanova chokes the match away. Typical WTA these days. It is not who plays better, but who plays less bad. Hopefully Dementieva atleast keeps her reputation as a great non-slam performer up tommorow and doesnt allow the shrieking cow to win.

tell the truth ... you really are a womanhater, aren't you? :D Cant manage to say a good word about a couple women athletes entertaining thousands for over 2-1/2 hours ... can you? :lol:

If I was a women hater why would I call myself grafselesfan. I have long loved womens tennis but I hate the 2006-present field, as does nearly every other tennis fan. The only players worth watching left are the great Serena and the great Venus on grass (on other surfaces far past her prime). That is it. The remaining rest are garbage who wouldnt even be top 10 players in any other era other than the last 3-4 years.

What was entertaining about today. Some pudgy girl I never heard of taking the lead helped by a kazillion errors by Sharapova, then choking the match away with things like 3 double faults in a row and a kazillion errors of her. Woohoo, how exciting. Maria a shadow of herself at this point, no longer can serve which is 70% of what she used to be as a player, and still able to make tier 1 finals, what a womens field, LOL!

No. I dont think so. I think youre one of those men who believe women have too easy a time of it, able to make millions on their looks alone, so you think, and you envy and hate them for it.

The reason you chose that username is to attempt to give yourself some legitimacy as a critic of women. Your posts are filled with venom. Your posts reveal you.
 
Great win for Elena today. I guess the real #1 decide to lose today...

Hey grafselesfan and THUNDERVOLLEY, I got something for ya.

^ you post this flame/trolling nonsense against grafselesfan, yet accuse another of spamming as though you are some model member? Amusing.

Not only is your post sandbox trolling (too late to remove it), but incredibly inapplicable. My stand is that ED is lacks the ability to win a slam. Clearly, that still stands.

Not too sharp, JBF#1.

Thundervolley, perhaps you should just watch the Slams. They seem to be all you deem important. Why do you even watch the other tour events?
 
These are two of the loudest grunters playing today and both big time double faulters, so I think I will just watch the score. I want both to do well but think Maria needs it more.

The Battle of the Double Fault Queens is on. Dementieva leads the WTA in double faults (over 300), but Maria already has almost 200 DFs in less than half the matches played as Dementieva.
 
Ugh. I come back and it's 4-3 Elena with Elena double-faulting the game away.

Am I the only guy watching?

24 UEs from Sharapova, including 7 DFs. Elena you better take advantage.....

Sharapova DFs that game away. 5-3 Elena with Elena to serve for set.

UGH! Dementieva DFs the game away, AGAIN!. Maria serves 4-5. These two really want to see who can hit the most double faults today...:shock:

The past few weeks the WTA has had some DF-fests. What's going on people?!??!

Maria needs to work on her volleys. All she can do are swing volleys. A conventional volley and she looks completely clueless when doing them.
