I'm tired of Jankovic and her excuses

a little example.

her wimbledon lost agains Oudin.

Jankovic’s excuse was that she was wobbly from the heat — she required two medical timeouts — and the cyclical nature of “some woman problems.”
Jankovic said that Oudin “doesn’t have any weapons, , “She can play if you let her play. But she cannot hurt you with anything. She doesn’t have any weapons
(yeah sure)

U.S open lost.

"The wind was really tough. The conditions were really, really tough to play," said Jankovic. "I had a really hard time hitting the balls. Obviously, they were going all over the place.
It was really tough to play tennis, because it's tough to serve, tough to hit the balls. The balls move all over the place, and I had a really hard time over there.
(you got the reason Jelena)

Kremlin cup against 268 seeded

The 268th-ranked Diyas, who celebrated her 17th birthday on Monday, led 5-0 in the first set when Jankovic called for a doctor and had her blood pressure checked. Jankovic said she had a hard time breathing, and had been ill since coming from a tournament in China.
Jankovic said she had an infection and was on antibiotics for a week.
"I was suffering on the court but I really wanted to be out there and didn't want to retire," Jankovic said. "I finished as well as I could, but obviously it was tough for me to focus on my tennis."

Doha vs Zvonareva.

Jankovic said after her opening match -- a loss to Zvonareva -- that she was ill and had collapsed in the locker room after complaining of dizziness.

Is she ready to retire yet?

She really does make tons of excuses. However, this time I think that there is something really wrong with her. But because she makes so many excuses, nobody is going to believe her.

nice recap of the excuses. I knew she whined a lot but to see it in a short summay was nice. I bet you could dig a little deeper and further in the past for a comprehensive log. JJ will be gone soon so maybe its not worth it afterall.

I like pancakes too.
 
I don't see these as excuses as such. Also depends on the context, which you haven't actually provided. Maybe she was asked to dwell on the loss, and she summed it up the best she could. About the US Open match, she described it perfectly. I saw the match and she is absolutely right. Of course her opponent made better use of the conditions. Now if Jankovic used the weather as an excuse to explain her loss is not clear. Did she? I haven't read the press conference, or seen it (which would provide a clearer context). Have you?

The other comments - she just described her situation out there. Every player does that. Now if she makes those reasons to be the main issue in her press conferences then I agree she's a poor sport. But if these are small excerpts taken out of context, then you are...a hater?

That's what it looked like this week at the year end championships.

Janko(b)itch is the only player in Doha that was not present during the Dementieva farewell ceremony.

Clearly she can't be bothered about attending anything unless she is the epicenter subject of the occasion
 
I think it should be mandatory fr all ATP/WTA players to read this forum so they know what to say in interviews.
 
Wimbledon 09 (Loss to Oudin)

Q. Can you tell us just how difficult conditions were for you.
JELENA JANKOVIC: Conditions were quite tough. It was very warm out there. But that was not, you know, my problem. After the first set, I felt really dizzy, and I thought that I was just gonna end up in the hospital. I started to shake. I was losing my - how you say - consciousness.
I didn't know. I was really gonna lose it, you know, to fall down and just, you know, probably go -- call the ambulance and leave the court. But I came back. Like I started to feel a little bit better.
But, you know, I was feeling quite weak. No power. I wasn't the same player. You know, I didn't have the power in the shots. I felt really tired and exhausted out there. It was very difficult for me to play in these kind of circumstances. That made me, as well, quite nervous.

Q. Do you think it was heat stroke or dehydration or what?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know. It's as well some woman problems, as well. It's not easy being a woman, you know, sometimes. All these things happen. What can I do? I tried my best.

Q. Have you been struggling for a few days, or is it just today?
JELENA JANKOVIC: No, I felt okay, and then all of a sudden I won that first set. I felt, you know, I was like a ghost, you know, white in the face. Really, I didn't know where I was.
The physio came out and she asked me, Do you know like what is your name? I just saw blurry. I didn't know. It was really strange feeling. I was scared and I started to cry in this kind of situation.
But what can I do? These kind of things happen. Didn't have, you know, enough energy to hit the shots, to go after the shots, to do the right things. But I did the best that I could. And what can I do?

Q. Is that the first time your monthly cycle has affected you so dramatically like that?
JELENA JANKOVIC: No, I never had problem like that in the past. It was my first time experience, so...


AO 2010 (Loss to A.Bondarenko)

Q. Are you physically fit? You sound a little croaky.
JELENA JANKOVIC: You know, since I came here, I don't know if it is the air-conditioning or something. You know, I'm a little bit clogged up. I have some problems with the, you know, breathing. But that's basically it.
