Henin-like return... wow

Edit: and another drop shot... Janko tries to chase it down and falls again.

Jankovic is too annoying with those theatrical dives. She really is trying to get as many photos as possible.

 

[kishnabe]

Thank you Martina...nice slip from Janko!

 

[soyizgood]

2 match points!
1 MP....

 

[JeMar]

Another chance for MJMS to serve it out. JJ looks completely out of gas.

I wouldn't say "out of gas," it's more like "out of sorts."

 

[kishnabe]

Nice win for her!

 

[soyizgood]

It's OVER!
MJMS 7-6 7-5. Congrats!!!

 

[Kwanfan]

SUCH a shame JJ got beaten by a nobody.

 

[vortex1]

Nice win for MJMS, even though I wanted Jankovic to take this.

 

[jones101]

Nice moment for MJMS, her career defining win so far in singles.

 

[JeMar]

I don't remember anyone ever falling these many times on a clay court.

 

[bezs]

Nicely done MJMS

 

[Underhand]

SUCH a shame JJ got beaten by a nobody.

Bad news, son: you are a nobody. MJMS is a top player.

Good performance by MJMS. She was a bit off her game today, a bit nervous I suspect, but she had enough to still come through in straights.

Jankovic is an attention wh0re. What else would you expect from her?

This isnt a surprising result. JJ didnt even play well vs Serena. The way Martinez Sanchez was playing this week I fully expected her to win.

 

[Marius_Hancu]

Great to see the winners carry the day.

Top player my ass. LOL

No one knew or heard of her until just a few minutes ago.

Her win maybe just a fluk:twisted:e.

Which is, more or less, when you started watching tennis, it seems.

Obviously you're clueless about tennis. Dismissed.

Let's see if she can back up her results in Madrid. She's facing Stosur pretty early I think, so it's a perfect chance to prove to everyone that she isn't some mug who beat tired Jankovic. I'll be monitoring her closely.

Serena last year made a remark about "seeing MJMS in the locker room" after a match they played last year. That involved a point in which Serena hit a ball that hit MJMS in the body, but that deflected the ball in for a winner and the umpire didn't catch it.

MJMS wins a Tier-I in singles after having a lot of success in doubles. When she's on, her style just infuriates the opponents. She's now in the top 20 and will be seeded for the French.

Actually Stosur is a good doubles player so she has good chances in battles around the net. This could be a really good match.

 

[Cyan]

ZOMG! ROTFL! Bite it!

 

[cucio]

Oh my, Nadal started a trend. Years from now they will be making the trophies of rubber instead of silver so the players can comfortably chew them.

[Marius_Hancu]

Looking forward to her at both RG and W.

 

[veroniquem]

Ah the Rafa bite! How cute! I hope she wins RG too, so they can have a biting contest!!!

 

[thalivest]

I cant see anyone other than Henin winning the French.

 

[veroniquem]

Maybe Henin will start biting
