"Overall, she’s, I think, the strongest player on the tour, together with her sister,” said second-seeded Jelena Jankovic, who will meet the fourth-seeded Williams in the final. “Nobody has the power that they have. We cannot compare.”
Again, this is a woman who is CONTENT to get far in events. She's not a fierce warrior and will come up lame tomorrow, just watch.
She lacks a champion's heart. If you put her speed and other skills into somebody like Safina, you'd have a number one player. Too bad Safina is not as talented as Jankovic, because she's a much better competitor and hates to lose. Jankovic will be smiling widely after losing tomorrow.
I can't stand athletes who don't demand more of themselves and who are too willing to accept less than their potential and are okay with losing. I don't respect her for comments like this and many others I've read from her. You don't concede ANYTHING to an opponent prior to play. The reality is that she has better footwork and court coverage than Serena and has more polished strokes. But she'll go down meekly tomorrow. She's already lost half the battle!!!
