Sania Mirza is one of the arrogant players in Tennis. Do you agree?

The Sampras powerful serve & volley would take care of Rafael Nadal. Do you agree?

Nadal can outlast anyone when it comes to long baseline rallys. How do you think he’d perform against an explosive serve and volleyer (which doesn’t exist in today’s game) like Sampras or Edberg?

Sania Mirza is a poor teenis player not fit for global tennis? Do you agree?

Please be honest.Do not be guided by off court gimmicks or national bravado.

Do you agree with Davenport, Wade, Novotna, and Baltacha?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-1287914/WIMBLEDON-2010–Less-fashion-passion-Sportsmails-star-panel-runs-rule-Venus-Serena-years-contenders.html

These 4 women (Baltacha being the only non-Wimbledon Singles Championship winner) were interviewed about the upcoming Wimbledon Championships, specifically on the women’s game.

It was a pretty interesting and insightful interview. Do you guys agree with who’s gonna win?

Davenport and Baltacha say Serena… while Wade and Novotna say Justine.

It seems odd they don’t think Venus will win… but I agree on that point. She’s too old now; her game is predicated on power and with age, she loses that. She may be #2 in the world, but that’s just because the top 10 plays horribly right now (does anyone believe Wozniacki, Schiavone (both lost in the 1st round of their grasscourt tournament warmup (eastbourne i think?), Jankovic, etc. play better than Justine, Kim, Maria?

I definitely think Serena will be the main competition for all these players. The 4 women think Maria, Kim, and Stosur are the other 3 women (aside from the Williamses and Henin) that could win… what do you think?

Kim’s too much of a baseliner/counterpuncher to win at Wimbledon… but she has a great slice backhand that’s great on grass.

Maria’s a champion (2004) but she’s still recovering from her shoudler injury and her serve is nowhere near as powerful as before.

People give stosur all the hype cause of her French Open success… but she hasn’t ever done well at Wimbledon before… and besides her powerful 1st serve and kick serve (which probably isn’t a good idea on grass since you WANT teh ball to stay low and not bounce high) she hasn’t got much else.

I see Serena winning it… but due to gut feeling. I gotta say Justine will win it. It’s a 50/50 shot and I expect to see a Williams vs Henin Grand Slam Final like at teh Australian.

Each time Justine’s won a grasscourt preparation tournament, she’s made it to at least the semifinals. Also, each time she’s gotten past the 1st round, she’s made it to the semifinals. For her, the 1st round is so important.

She’s become more aggressive… improved her inside out forehand and net game, and comes to the net a lot more (in addition to serving and volleying with more frequency).

After seeing her form at the UNICEF Open, I’d have to put her above Venus.

My predictions: 1) Serena, Justine 2) Venus 3) Maria 4) Kim

what do you guys think?
Oh yeah.. Justine has beaten Serena on grass before (wimbledon 2007 QF’s)
players also say that Flushing Meadows plays faster than Wimbledon… and Henin handed to Venus in straight sets at the 2007 Us Open (and also straight sets beat Serena).

The only difference I suppose is that the ball bounces lower on grass than on hard courts… which gives advantage to good net players like Henin.

SOrry i mean 2000s . Really sorry for the mistake

do you agree with these top 10 tennis predictions for 2010 ?

1. Roger Federer doesn’t win a major title. I don’t think Federer has added the last major to his resume (he has won 15, more than any man in history). The upcoming year, though, promises to be the most challenging of his career as the tour’s young stars (chiefly Juan Martin del Potro and Andy Murray) mature, and Federer’s long-time rival, Rafael Nadal, looks to regain his form after recovering from injuries. This would be Federer’s first year without a major title since 2002.

2. Rafael Nadal wins the French Open and Wimbledon. Nadal isn’t going to age as well as Federer, but I don’t think we have to worry about that just yet. He’ll turn 24 in June and has at least two more good seasons left in his sometimes-achy knees. Once he recaptures Paris, he’ll have a lot of confidence headed into Wimbledon.

3. Maria Sharapova wins the Australian Open. In Melbourne, all eyes will be on the newly unretired Justine Henin, last year’s comeback champ, Kim Clijsters, and defending champion Serena Williams. Sharapova will upstage them all. The 24-year-old Russian struggled with injuries in 2009 and couldn’t master a new service motion, but she played better in the fall (and also reverted to her old service motion). Sharapova performs well in Melbourne and there’s no reason she can’t return to the form that won the title there in 2008.

4. Justine Henin wins the French Open, but not Wimbledon. Since she announced her comeback, Henin has been talking about Wimbledon, the only major title to elude her. Winning it so early in her comeback is too much to ask.

5. Novak Djokovic becomes the No. 1 player in the world. The Serb could accomplish this without winning a major title, since he put in so-so performances in Australia, Paris and London last year (quarterfinals, third round and quarterfinals, respectively) and can gain lots of points at those tournaments. This is the case even if prediction No. 2 (Nadal wins the French Open and Wimbledon) comes true, provided Nadal doesn’t perform nearly as well at the Australian and U.S. Opens, where he has a lot of points to defend (winner and semifinal).

6. Venus Williams doesn’t win a major, contemplates retirement. Last year’s Wimbledon final took a lot out of the elder Williams sister. She’ll turn 30 this year and the women’s field, weak in recent years, is suddenly difficult again now that Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova are motivated and healthy. If Venus continues to suffer from niggling injuries and perform poorly at the major tournaments, she might well call it quits.

7. Argentina wins the Davis Cup. To residents of the greatest tennis nation to never with the Davis Cup I say, “2010 is your year.” Juan Martin del Potro is getting better by the month. David Nalbandian is ready come back from injury. And for once, the team will get along well enough to capture a title, while defeating Russia and defending champion Spain along the way.

8. Melanie Oudin drops in the rankings. Melanie Oudin is for real. She’s tough-minded, has first-rate footwork, and her playing style is suited to all surfaces. She still needs time to mature, however. Oudin plays a risky game (lots of angles and little margin for error) and I expect her to lose more bets this year, now that people are expecting a lot from her. Good things, perhaps great things, are in her future, but probably not in 2010.

9. Dinara Safina falls outside the Top 10. Safina, who’s been suffering from a lower back injury, was a wreck (mentally and physically) by the end of 2009. In 2010, we’re going to see how tough it is to obtain the No. 1 ranking by playing pretty well everywhere but not winning many tournaments. Safina has points to defend at almost every stop on the tour next season. Her ranking could fall far, and quickly.

10. Andy Roddick becomes a father. I’m not privy to any pending announcement, so calm down. The recently married Roddick would make a good dad, though. Why should papa Federer have all the fun?

Do you agree that Roger Federer will become the “BEST” player ever to play the game of tennis?

Even if Roger Federer has not yet completed a career grandslam…for now, he is the only man in the history of the game to be in a “NINE” consecutive grandslam finals. Rod Laver and Don Budge both completed a career grandslam but did not made it to nine consecutive grandslam finals. Both of the two are alike, (Rod Laver & Don Budge) but Federer has no one besides him in his record!
