I think you are way out in left field here with Ivanovic. She coulda, shoulda, lost to Dechy. Net saved her, but it is unlikely to save her down the road as the competition gets stiffer. I don't think that grass suits her game very well. If I had to go out on a limb, I would probably pick V Williams as the most likely champion.<BR/><BR/>I'm still with you on Nadal. Rafa almost always starts slowly, and Gulbis is a future top ten player. The difference between Nadal and a Roddick player is how they handle adversity. Almost invariably, Andy (and also James Blake) loses his composure. Andy plays way too far behind the baseline to impose his game on his competitor. He really needs to move up a bit and learn to handle the ball a little more early--he should have kept Gilbert as his coach, IMHO.<BR/><BR/>I would not bet any money on Marat to reach the semis. I might bet a few bucks on his little sister to make the semis. Dinara is starting to show some world-class tennis and the ability to play through the rough spots. Unlike Marat, she is rarely losing to a lesser player. (If I get this right, you can continue to call me a tennis genius!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
