Best WTA Match of 2008? Nominations requested

[LanceStern]

There's already three that are definitely going in the Poll:

Sharapova vs. Henin (AO 2008 Quarter Finals)
Venus Williams vs. Serena Williams (Wimbledon 2008 Final)
Serena Williams vs. Jelena Jankovic (US Open 2008 Final)

Other thoughts I had in mind...

Henin vs. Kuznetsova (Medibank International 2008 Final)

But any other nominations would be awesome. I guess if 3-5 people also nominate the same matches, it'll go in the poll. I do this because I'd hate to only have 4 matches posted and an "others" option without making any other mentions.

Ivanovic - Jankovic FO SF
Jankovic - Venus Stuttgart SF
Serena - Jankovic Miami final (crazy match, not high quality but highly entartaining)
Jankovic - Tamira Paszek AO 2nd round

I liked Sharipova at the AO, despite her noise. Her level of dominance at that tournament was amazing, and she had great competition, certainly in Ivanovic in the final. Safina at the FO was okay as a struggle and a great underdog story, but it was never that pretty. Two very big girls smacking the ball back and forth and sliding around on clay. Ne-eeh!

first off...in my opinion Sharapova vs Henin at the austrailian open should not be in contention for best match of the year. It was an extremely one sided contest. The best match of the year should feature a match that is competitive and up and down...that match was neither of those things.

ones I would definitely include are:

Henin vs Kuznetsova @ Medibank Final
Hantuchova vs Ivanovic @ Australian Open Semi's
Venus vs Jankovic @ YEC Semi's
Radwanska vs Kuznetsova @ Wimbledon, 4th rd.
Safina vs Henin @ Berlin (mainly as an honorable mention as it was justines last)
Ivanovic vs Jankovic @ French Open Semi's
Ivanovic vs Dechy @ Wimbledon (that was just a crazy match)

Those to me are the matches that really stood out this in terms of competitiveness and overall quality...I guess for the sake of the poll you would have to include all 4 slam finals...but to me none of them were the caliber of the ones above.

Hantuchova vs Ivanovic @ Australian Open Semi's

Well, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
At least it was interesting

I thought the US Open match with Venus and Serena was better than the Wimbledon match.

That one was definitely staged. So should not be considered for the best match, unless you are a WWF fan.

Serena vs. Jankovic? That was a straight set match with a couple good spots here and there.
